The Northshore School District is concluding a math curriculum review and selection process of math textbooks for students in grades six, seven, and eight. On Wednesday, November 18, 2009, the math textbooks under consideration for student use in grades six, seven, and eight will be available for community and parent preview. The textbooks will be on display from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. at the school district administration office at 3330 Monte Villa Parkway in Bothell. Math teachers who participated in the pilot textbook project will be present to answer questions about the new programs.

  Like other districts, we are experiencing more flu-related absences in our schools. It would not be unusual to see absence rates in a classroom or school of 10 to 20%. We continue to remind students about prevention strategies and appreciate your help with keeping ill children at home until they are fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication). Our district is in communication with the public health departments to monitor absence rates and symptoms. For most people the flu remains a mild/moderate illness and resolves in 3-5 days.  Click anywhere in this field to link to the Northshore School District H1N1 (Swine Flu) updates for more information.

All Leota students are expected to appropriately "dress-down" for PE; the Health & Fitness department has therefore established a basic dress code of "grays." The gray uniforms were chosen for many reasons, including (but in no way limited to) trying to choose a common and readily available color, one that is easier to keep clean (easier than white), and one that is typically much less expensive.

Leota PE uniforms are available for purchase from Believe It Sports ; please see the attached order form below or online by clicking on the link above. Orders are due by Friday, Sept. 4. Students may wear comparable clothing purchased elsewhere, but no logos are allowed. Last names can be hand-written on all uniforms with a black marker once they are received.
