About First Bell

Seattle Public Schools launched a districtwide news broadcast called First Bell in January 2023. The addition of the broadcast means School Beat, the district newsletter, will shift to a once-a-month release.  Read our most recent School Beat Newsletter.

First Bell will feature stories from around SPS highlighting the work of students and staff and providing families with important information they need to know. Families will be able to watch our stories whenever and wherever they want – in about five minutes or less. 

We are excited to bring this new way to connect families to what’s happening in our schools.
