In order to comply with school district and state COVID precautions, this dance will be held outdoors to provide for proper social distancing opportunities.  Attendees are required to wear masks at all times, and sanitation stations will be spread throughout the event 

All students should enter campus from NE 195th Street (the bus entrance). The dance itself will be located in the staff parking lot but there will be no entrance access from the round-about. Maps can be found on the website.

We can’t wait to see you all there! If you have any questions please email 1048325@apps.nsd.org. More information can also be found on the WHS ASB Instragram @woodinville_asb and the most recent video on our YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrKrjlj_eNfFRDoaxboHgmQ. 

Masks and Physical Distancing Required at School 

Masks at school are required, along with continued physical distancing. Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to do our part to keep our community safe.  View NSD's COVID Safety Protocols.

NSD COVID-19 Handbook

The COVID Handbook has been updated and reflects NSD's current practices. Please read through this information carefully so that we can work together to keep our students, staff, and families safe. NSD will continue to monitor evolving pandemic data along with state and federal requirements to update this handbook as appropriate. You can find the link to the NSD COVID-19 Handbook here. 

NSD Required Forms: Sign off deadline extended to Friday, Oct. 29!

As indicated in the September 16 Northshore Connections communication to families, annually the District provides parents/guardians with notification of forms that must be acknowledged, including:

  • WA State Attendance Letter 
  • Rights and Responsibilities Handbook 
  • Weapons Letter 
  • Student Housing Questionnaire

Parents and students who have not yet acknowledged the form(s) are asked to login to ParentVUE or StudentVUE, as applicable, today to view them. 

WHS Sporting Events-Spectator Mask Requirement

As of Tuesday, September 7, King County* began requiring masks, regardless of vaccination status, for everyone ages 5+ at outdoor events with 500 or more people, and continue to be required in public indoor spaces. This includes spectators at WHS sporting events. Additionally, all competitions at Pop Keeney Stadium require spectators to wear masks regardless of capacity. We appreciate and thank all students, parents, guardians, and guests, in advance, for keeping safety at the forefront by adhering to the requirement and wearing a mask except when actively eating or drinking. 
We love the spirit our community contributes supporting and cheering on the Falcons. We hope this measure will play a part in continuing that tradition while also keeping our schools open and our students, families, and community healthy.

Fee Waivers for Students

Students who are qualified for free/reduced meals may have most fees waived by completing an “opt-in” waiver form located on the Northshore School District website under the heading of Reduced or Waived School Fees.  Qualified families are encouraged to complete the waiver form for fees that they wish to have waived.  Completing the form will allow a student's free and reduced status to be shared with those administering extra-curricular activities at your student's school or within the district. 

Questions regarding the fee waiver process can be directed to Account Specialist Besty Black at eblack@nsd.org

Today's Schedule

COVID-19 Testing for Woodinville High School

On Monday, September 20, the Northshore School District launched the COVID-19 testing program for all students grades K-12. All students will be tested weekly, unless a parent or guardian completes an opt-out form. As the name “batch” suggests, everyone in a classroom or cohort puts their test samples together in a batch vial with no names or personally identifiable information.

A few key points to emphasize:
•    Students in Grades K-12 will test weekly.
•    Your child will be tested unless you opt out your child by clicking on this link.
•    The opt out form asks you to enter your student’s ID number. This can be found on each student’s identification card above the barcode, as well as on the student’s report card. You can also view it by logging in to ParentVUE or by contacting the school’s main office.
•    If you wish to opt your student out of testing, you must complete the opt-out form no later than 10 a.m. the day before our school’s scheduled test day which is Wednesdays.
•    If a student or staff member is opted out of testing, but their cohort has a positive COVID test result, they may still be required to quarantine for 14 days.

Your student’s participation will help us keep transmissions in our school buildings low so we can keep school buildings open. Thank you for your consideration.

Vaccine Clinic for Secondary Students: Registration required in advance

As Dr. Reid announced in her September 16 "Thursday Thoughts", the Northshore School District will begin another round of mobile vaccines started Monday, September 20 for middle and high school students.
Multiple teams from the Shoreline Fire Department will administer the Pfizer vaccine for all students who are 12 years of age and older and would like to be vaccinated. Please know that the COVID-19 vaccination is not mandated by the District.
Families who are interested in having their student receive the Pfizer vaccine at one of these clinics, must complete a registration form. Registration must be submitted by noon the day before the scheduled date for each clinic. Woodinville High School's clinic dates are: 1st Dose September 28; 2nd Dose October 19, with the clinic time from 12:30-1:30pm for both doses. In order to plan accordingly, all registrations for Monday’s clinics on September 20 (both are not at WHS) must be submitted by noon on Sunday, September 19.
Per Dr. Reid's message, if a clinic isn’t scheduled at a student’s school, families can register them for the vaccine at another school. Students attending the clinic, who are not already learning in-person on the designated campus, need to arrive within the first 30 minutes of the scheduled clinic time to ensure there is enough time to administer the vaccine and have at least a 15-minute waiting period after receiving the dose.
More information can be found on the district's Vaccine Clinics for Secondary Students webpage.
