WOODINVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

 

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Woodinville High School is to become a community of learners, providing a safe and encouraging environment for developing the mind, body, and spirit.

 

Motto

“Care, Respect, Leadership”

 

THEME

“One Falcon, One Family”

 

 PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

A school is a community of learners, a safe, and encouraging environment for developing the mind, body, and spirit. It remains sensitive to the larger community as a vehicle for its values and as a proving ground for extending its vision. The staff and faculty of Woodinville High School foster a positive, friendly attitude in the school community by modeling an open-minded appreciation of human differences, by demonstrating pride in self and school by encouraging self-discipline, and by experimentation which recognizes learning as a life-long process. Furthermore, the school nurtures an environment warm with humor, rich in challenge.

 

1. To manifest this philosophy, we specify the following objectives:
2. To provide a safe and healthy environment for learning, an environment that promotes a positive self-image, sensitive cooperation, and mutual respect.
3. To provide for students a core curriculum that offers equal access to continued educational opportunities.
4. To provide elective choices for students so they may select from diverse vocational, avocational, and academically enriched programs.
5. To challenge intellectually all students at their appropriate level, recognizing the diverse ways by which students learn.
6. To identify and challenge exceptional students, gifted as well as handicapped.
7. To help students develop and demonstrate creative expression in the fine arts.
8. To accommodate physical differences so all students can participate in sports and challenge themselves in recognized athletic competition.
9. To promote an awareness of social, political, and ethical responsibility.
10. To encourage cultural sensitivity by acknowledging and teaching cultural differences and encouraging exchange programs.
11. To nurture civic awareness and responsibility through mutual cooperation with the Woodinville community.
12. To acknowledge our responsibility for environmental stewardship.
13. To provide the opportunity to enhance physical and emotional health and to develop healthy habits.
14. To offer a variety of curricular and extracurricular activities through which students may develop           talents, values, and social skills.

The Falcon’s cry will not be still O mighty Woodinville.

VISITORS

Volunteer participation is welcomed and supported as we recognize the positive impact it has on student achievement.  We encourage family, business, and community members to become actively involved in the education of our students. 

• Volunteers will complete the steps required by Northshore School District, even for a one-time activity. The application process can be found at https://www.nsd.org/get-involved/volunteer/become-a-volunteer or by going to https://www.nsd.org/ and clicking “Get Involved” then “Become a Volunteer” from the drop down menu.  
• All volunteers are to read through the Northshore School District Volunteer Orientation, which can be found at: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTU1Wnds8Msz87-juxMiXva6TtEBcKEqQIc5ln16L1AAOltw1rDlp1_K3_braNqUxvm2jjZLm7QwKcG/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000&slide=id.p1 (Updated January 2024).
• All background checks are good for one year only and must be renewed annually.
• Final approval of all volunteers and chaperones is subject to the discretion of Northshore School District.  

Classroom (in-person or virtual) and/or on-campus volunteers during school hours (Level 1):

• Must complete a Level 1 background check through Safe Visitor Solutions at https://secure.safevisitor.io/Safe/Volunteer/northshore/volunteer.
• Level 1 volunteer information should be submitted at least one week prior to volunteering to allow time for processing. 

Drivers and/or Field Trip Chaperones/After-School Chaperones (Level 1 & Level 2):

• Must complete the above mentioned Level 1 background check AND a background check Level 2 found at https://secure.safevisitor.io/Safe/Volunteer/northshore/level2.
• There is a $12.95 cost to the volunteer to process a Level 2 background check. If the cost creates a hardship and prevents you from volunteering, please email partnerships@nsd.org.
• After the first year of volunteering, volunteers only need to complete the Level 1 background check (free) at your yearly renewal. 
• If a volunteer completed a Level 2 background check in the past, the volunteer will only need to renew the Level 1 check before it expires and complete the form found at https://form.jotform.com/241486264679167 to maintain the Level 2 status. If a volunteers Level 1 status expires before it is renewed and there is a period/gap of having an inactive volunteer status, the volunteer will need to complete a new Level 2 check. 
• Since there are potential delays in processing volunteer applications, we advise all volunteers needing a Level 2 background check to submit their applications at least 3 weeks in advance.
• Volunteers who plan to drive on field trips must also complete an “Authorization for Use of Private Vehicle” form found at https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1524202869/nsdorg/cm2cb9nimfrxkgvosehh/AuthorizationforUseofPrivateVehicle.pdf AND provide proof of insurance to the school's office.

High School Athletic Volunteer Coaches  

• Athletic volunteer coaches have the same requirements listed above for Drivers and Field Trip Chaperones/After-School Chaperones to obtain a Level 2.
• In addition, an Athletic Volunteer Interest Form is required, which can be found here: https://form.jotform.com/201757343629157.
• Approval of all volunteers and chaperones is subject to the discretion of Northshore School District.  

Visitor Procedures are in place at Woodinville High School to continue our commitment to provide a safe and productive school environment.  We ask all visitors to follow these procedures: 

• Visitors and volunteers must check in AND check out at the Main Office upon their arrival and departure that includes the web-based Safe Visitor program. The Safe Visitor program combines the NSD background check process for volunteers with the check-in process for both visitors and volunteers in our buildings. When a visitor/volunteer arrives in the main office, staff will provide the visitor/volunteer with an expiring visitor sticker that includes the person’s name and photo printed immediately in the office.
• Visitors, volunteers, and chaperones may also be asked for identification. 
• Visitors and volunteers must display a visitor's badge on their person in a visible manner while on campus. The badge should contain the current date.
• Unfamiliar persons and/or persons not wearing a visitor’s badge will be directed to the Main Office.

1. School-age visitors and recent graduates are not allowed in the building or on campus at any time during the school day. If a former student has arranged a visit with a teacher during the school day, the teacher will notify the Main Office in advance AND the former student must check in AND check out at the Main Office upon their arrival and departure

ADDRESS CHANGE

Please notify the WHS Counseling Office promptly of any address, phone number or email changes. This is critically important should we need to contact parents/guardians in the event of an emergency. You may go to the WHS website under the Counseling tab at https://woodinville.nsd.org/counseling/address-change to download the NSD Change of Address form and submit proof of new residency as required within 5 days of changing residence.

CO-CURRICULAR/EXTRA-CURRICULAR PARTICIPATION

WHS recognizes that co-curricular and extra-curricular programs and activities are an integral part of the educational structure. Participation in these programs is voluntary and the individual has freedom of choice in selecting activities within the limitations of program offerings. Students who participate in our activities and athletics are representatives of our school. As representatives, students are held to high expectations and standards. We expect ALL students to demonstrate excellent sportsmanship and to be positive role models at ALL times. To be eligible for the co-curricular and extra-curricular programs, students must be a resident of Northshore School District, be enrolled in and passing six subjects during the current semester of competition, have passed six subjects in the semester prior to participation, purchase an ASB card, be in good academic standing with attendance, and have no outstanding fines/fees. Students participating in athletics must also meet all athletic eligibility requirements. Students are expected to be in attendance all seven periods on the day of a practice or event to participate in co/extra-curricular activities that afternoon or evening. This expectation applies to all co/extra-curricular activities and events. Participation may be denied for failure to comply.

A. Public Communications Expectations

1. Everyone who is given the privilege of communicating publicly at WHS is a representative of our school and is therefore expected to conduct himself/herself in an appropriate and responsible manner. Public communication, created for school purposes and/or using school equipment, includes but is not limited to the following:

a. Assembly presentations and speeches

 

b. Posters and flyers

c. Announcements

d. Presentations in front of classes, both live and recorded

e. Online materials

f.  School newspaper (Quill) and other written materials

g. Falcon News Network and other audiovisual materials

2. Anyone may be asked to submit materials for approval. Everyone has an obligation to learn and practice the legal and ethical responsibilities expected of him/her by Washington State and Woodinville High School. As school assemblies are considered a “captive audience”, no one may engage in public communications that:

a.      Are legally obscene

b.      Contain sexual innuendo

c.      Are libelous or knowingly false about another person

d.      Are cruel to animals

e.      Create a clear and present danger and/or substantial physical disruption of the school

f.       Invade privacy

g.      Advertise illegal products or services

h.      Interfere with any student’s pursuit of an equal educational opportunity

 

C. Use of Technology & Network Code of Conduct

1. Technology resources available at WHS include computers for research, document creation, and communication, printers and scanners, specialized curricular programs, Internet access, video cameras, and video editing software. This technology is available in many classrooms as well as the library, math lab, and tech lab. In all cases, students will follow the Northshore School District Network Code of Conduct and Responsible Use Procedures.
2. Northshore School District provides wireless network access for all students, grades 9-12. When students authenticate to NSD Wi-Fi networks, or any other network while on campus, they are expected to abide by the guidelines for responsible use as set forth in School Board Procedure 2022P, Responsible Use Procedure.  Misuse of these network resources may lead to disciplinary action where appropriate. Staff will direct students as to the appropriate use of personal devices during instructional activities.
3. Northshore School District allows students the privilege of connecting approved personal devices to the NSDPublic network for educational use during the school day. NSD reserves the right to revoke this privilege if users do not follow all district guidelines and responsible use policies. These policies are intended to protect the security and integrity of NSD and student data and technology infrastructure. Students must agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this procedure in order to be able to connect their devices to the NSDPublic network.

a. Students are blocked from accessing certain websites during school hours/while connected to the NSDPublic network at the discretion of the district. While our filters and safeguards are set to protect students and block known inappropriate content, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure safe and responsible use of the NSD network.

b. NSD is not responsible for content stored on any non-district device. Any devices containing questionable content may lead to disciplinary actions where appropriate.

c. Devices used on any NSD network, or any other network while on campus, must not contain, store or transmit illicit materials or other content deemed unacceptable by the district. Also, these devices may not be used to harass or bully any staff or student.

For that reason, if the original book and/or textbook issued to the student cannot be located, students are required to pay the fine for replacement. Students should inspect books and textbooks for water damage, torn and/or wrinkled covers and/or pages, broken spines, food spills, etc. at the time of check out, as students are responsible for returning books and textbooks in good condition without damage.  

** House Bill HB 1176 (2021-22 Regular Session) amended RCW 28A.635.060 to prohibit school districts from withholding a student's grades or transcripts in response to the student damaging or losing school property, or property belonging to a school contractor, employee, or another student.

2. PAYMENTS

To preserve valuable learning time, student payments are accepted before school, during Options, lunches, and after school. Parents and guardians are welcome during office hours. Online credit card payments for parents/guardians through TouchBase can conveniently be made 24-hours a day with the parent/guardian TouchBase username and password at the Resources, Payments/TouchBase link on the WHS website. Payments in person can be made via credit/debit card, cash, or checks payable to WHS or Woodinville High School or NSD or Northshore School District.

While students could find similar editions, there is no guarantee that books and textbooks, even those with a similar cover, are the same edition or have the same copyright date. For that reason, if the original book and/or textbook cannot be located, students are required to pay the fine for replacement. Students should inspect books and textbooks for water damage, torn and/or wrinkled covers and/or pages, broken spines, food spills, etc. at the time of check out, as students are responsible for returning books and textbooks in good condition without damage.

1. ILLNESS AT SCHOOL

Students who become ill at school MUST obtain permission from the classroom teachers to report to the Health Room during class time.  The school nurse will determine whether the student should be sent home, return to class, or be permitted to rest in the Health Room. Students who leave campus and do not properly check out with the nurse or Attendance Office will be considered truant for all classes missed. If the student needs to be sent home and requires a ride from parent/contact person, student must be picked up within one hour of parent notification. If the student drove him/herself to school and needs to go home, the nurse will first determine whether or not the student is safe to do so then parent/guardian permission must be obtained before dismissing the student from school.

2. MEDICATION POLICY

Students may not bring any medication to school unless one of the following protocols is being implemented:

• The student has an Authorization for Medication, signed by a medical provider and parent/guardian, on file in the Nurse’s Office. (In this case, the medication is kept in the Health Room in its original container and must be left with the school nurse).
• In appropriate cases and with the knowledge of the school nurse, the parent/guardian can delegate the responsibility for self-administration of medications to the student if: self-administration does not apply to controlled substances (e.g. codeine, Vicodin), the student may ONLY carry a one-day supply (1-2 doses) of the medication, the medication must be in the original container, AND the student must have a written permission to self-medicate signed by a parent/guardian.

Each student may sign up for a shared student locker. Due to the limited number of lockers available, students must be present together to get their locker, or have written acknowledgement that they will be sharing a locker. Lockers will not be issued to single occupants. Lockers are school property and may be subject to a search and improper contents seized at the discretion of the administration. The school assumes no liability for the loss or theft of items from a student locker. To avoid theft, all lockers, including P.E. lockers, should be locked at all times. Forgotten hallway locker combinations may be retrieved at the Attendance Office. 

2. PHOTO ID

Students must carry their Woodinville High School photo ID at school and school-sponsored activities at all times. Students are expected to give their name/show their WHS photo ID to any staff member who asks for it during the school day or at school-sponsored events.
