Tardy to School?

Students, as a reminder you are required to arrive to school on time and be in class by 8:20 each day. There is no “5-minute grace period.” The policy is: if you arrive before 8:25, report directly to your classroom where your teacher will mark you tardy. If you arrive after 8:25, stop and check in at the attendance office with Mrs. Bloomquist.

“I don’t HAVE to mask any more, but should I?”

That’s a very good question!
What are the current recommendations for when you are sick?

Testing is no longer required and we do not have test kits at school any more. Buuuuuuuuuuuut…

Stay home if you have a sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, or similar symptoms not explained by a pre-existing condition. 

Remain home until symptoms are improving.
Stay home if you have a fever. 
Remain home for 24 hours AFTER the fever has passed.
Stay home if you have vomited or have diarrhea. 
Remain home for 24 hours since the last time you experienced those symptoms. 

Masks are available by the Nurse’s Office if you want one! 

STAY HEALTHY FALCONS! WE’VE GOT THIS!

Student Volunteers Needed!

Attention volunteers! Hollywood Hill Elementary is seeking student volunteers to help with their Cross Country team. You can participate based on your availability, but they are looking specifically for helpers for a few practices in September and October and for their home meet on October 10th. Please email Assistant Principal Ms. Mason if you are interested, mmason@nsd.org.

Bus Passes for the 2023-2024 School Year

We are not able to provide bus passes at this time. Load counts on buses can not be assessed until all eligible riders have had the opportunity to ride their bus. Student enrollment has increased which puts school buses at or close to capacity. Therefore, Bus Passes will not be approved for the first month and a half of school until we are able to properly assess available seats.

Student On-Campus Parking 2023-2024

Beginning Monday, September 18, students must have a valid WHS 2023-2024 parking hanger in their car to park on the WHS campus. Students are strongly encouraged to ride the school bus or carpool for space and environmental reasons. Parking hanger applications for the 2023-2024 school year were accepted at the end of last school year. Payment for students pre-approved to purchase a WHS parking pass can be made online through TouchBase. All fines must be paid before a parking hanger can be issued. Students who pay online should bring in their receipt of payment when picking up their parking hanger from the campus supervisor. Parking is limited and will close once all available hangers have been issued. Please contact Mr. Dillman regarding parking availability if an application was not made at the end of last school year. Students who do not have a parking hanger on September 18 must park on the street until it is purchased. The cost of parking hangers is $50 per year/$20 per seasonal sport/activity. The purchase of a parking hanger does not guarantee students a parking space every day. All parking is on a first-come, first-served basis in designated student parking areas. Parking on the WHS campus is limited. Please see the priority parking plan below.  The parking priority plan is as follows:  

  • Seniors with WANIC/Health Science/Running Start class where there is no district shuttle offered. 
  • Juniors with WANIC/Health Science/Running Start class where there is no district shuttle offered. 
  • Seniors who participate in after school sanctioned sports and pre-approved after school activities. 
  • Juniors who participate in after school sanctioned sports and pre-approved after school activities. 
  • Seniors who have waivers or work after school. 
  • Remaining seniors in the lottery. 

If you have questions, contact Campus Supervisor Alan Dillman at adillman@nsd.org.

Passes Required for Elevator Use

As we start the 2023-2024 school year please note that in order to use the elevator, students are required to check out an elevator pass in the Main Office with Mrs. Benedict.

The ONLY students who should be using the elevator are students with medical conditions. If a student is seen using the elevator without a pass that has been checked out, they will receive progressive discipline.

WHS Accreditation

Woodinville High School participated in the Washington State Accreditation process in the 2022-23 school year. 

  • This is a voluntary process that takes place every 6 years, where we demonstrate that here at WHS we provide our students with a high quality and rigorous education.
  • Accreditation is an inquiry-based process, tightly aligned to our Strategic Action Plan, and the work we do at WHS. 
  • Accreditation is not only an internal review of how we are doing in meeting our goals, but also an external review process where we share our work and improvement plan with both a site evaluation review team and a state level review panel.

We are pleased to announce WHS was accredited for another 6 years, with our school noted as exceptional.
