H1N1 Influenza (Swine flu) Updates
Although the national vaccine is
supply is still limited, both King and Snohomish counties continue to
receive and distribute vaccine. Most doses are going to private health
care providers and hospitals. Both King and Snohomish counties are
providing a small weekly supply of vaccine to local pharmacies starting
Nov. 6th. A current list of health care providers and pharmacies who
have vaccine are available for
King County
and
Snohomish County
. Pharmacies will hold a special clinic or take appointments by
phone. Some locations are only vaccinating certain age groups. There
is administration fee that may be covered by some insurance plans. The
focus remains to vaccinate those identified as more at risk for flu
complications. Check these websites frequently as information and
availability continues to change. Families with children at risk for
flu complications, who have a regular medical provider, should contact
that provider about vaccine availability. Information is available
from the Washington State Department of Health on H1N1 flu illness in
children with chronic conditions and special health care needs. (A
download of that document can be found below under "Additional
Resources.") A special hotline is available in King County to assist
with questions or concerns in multiple languages. 1-877-903-5464.

A Note from the Principal
You
have awesome Kids! Today was not a typical day at the schoolhouse.
Throughout the morning as we waited for power to be restored, your
students moved about their daily schedule as usual. The students were
respectful and well behaved. As I went from class to class checking in
with students and staff, it was evident that the students and staff practiced
flexibility and adjusted to the situation at hand. After all, isn't that
what life is about: adjusting to curve balls that get thrown our way. I
do appreciate your patience. Our office staff worked tirelessly this morning
answering the many phone calls that came in to ask pertinent and important
questions. All students received lunch. District maintenance crews
checked classrooms to monitor heat levels. Power was restored around
11:20 AM. I observed many students learning, collaborating, and enjoying
some time connecting with their peers and teachers. Please let me know if
you have questions, and, again, thank you for your continued support.

Warm Weather Dress Code
We
need your help in making sure students make good choices regarding
proper school attire. Shorts and skirts cannot be shorter that finger
tips when arms are straight at sides. Modestly cut tops must
completely cover undergarments with straps at least 1 1/2 inch wide.
Pants must be worn at waist with no undergarments showing. Should
your child come to school dressed inappropriately, they will be given
clothing to wear from the lost and found. Thank you for your
assistance!

Supervision and Dress Code for JR. High Students Attending
Football & Other Sports Games
- Jr. High students attending high school sporting events need to follow the same dress code as High School students. Also, Junior High Students must be supervised by an adult (prefer parent) at the games. School Rules will apply for uncooperative behavior. This means, if you don't have a parent or an adult with you when you enter the gate, you will be turned away. |
