We were excited to welcome the Army National Guard to Rogers High School for a day of hands-on learning and career exploration. Students had the opportunity to participate in interactive activities, including VR simulators for firefighting, CPR, and hazardous materials cleanup.
The Guard also shared information about the many opportunities available after high school, including educational benefits and college tuition assistance.
A special thank you to the Army National Guard and all the volunteers who helped make this event possible for our students. We appreciate your time, expertise, and commitment to inspiring the next generation!

LEVY AT WORK: “A lot of people think it's just Band-Aids and ice packs, and it's so much more than that.”

Yes, school nurses like Aidan McCrum address the day-to-day bumps and bruises associated with active, young students, but a significant part of their job is also managing health care plans for students with chronic or life-threatening health conditions, so they can attend school in a safe and healthy environment.

Positions for school nurses are supported in part by the local Educational Programs and Operations levy, which helps to fund academic programs, services, and student activities and athletics that are not funded by the state. The local levy makes up about 15% of Spokane Public Schools' annual operating budget. A replacement levy will be presented to voters on the Nov. 3, 2026, ballot.

Check out the homepage of for more information.

CALENDAR REMINDER: Tthere is no school Oct. 19-23, 2026, as part of our new academic calendar for the 2026-27 school year.

An academic calendar reorganizes the traditional school year to include shorter, more frequent breaks instead of a long summer break. These breaks, called intersessions, allow for opportunities to refresh and recharge while reducing the "summer slide" in learning retention. Learn more at spokaneschools.org/calendar.

We hope that students and staff enjoy the break and return on Oct. 26 ready to learn!

Families looking for ideas to keep kids engaged during the break can check out spokaneschools.org/fallbreak for activities offered by the district and community partners.

Leadership students gathered at The Hive with district leadership to discuss spirit games. The 5 SPS High Schools and Cheney High School leaders and advisors discussed the history, tradition, and intention behind spirit games. Students brainstormed ways to make spirit games more inclusive and unified, with a goal of involving every SPS high school student. This was a great opportunity to give their voice to creating cultures on campus the celebrate student life and bring unity. We are proud of our Pirates for being great leaders and sharing their thoughts during this Student Voice Summit.
