Teen Book & Movie Drive for Children's Hospital Feb. 4-23
Please bring donations to den or room 204

We will be collecting donations of teen-friendly books and movies for patients who have to stay at the hospital for extended periods of time. There is a shortage of these items at the hospital for teens; most of their supplies are for younger kids.
 
For hygienic reasons, most donations need to be new.  DVDs (no "R" rated please) and video games (no "M" rated please) are the exception.  Those can be lightly used. In addition to the movies and books, magazine subscriptions, video games, board games, etc.

11/15/09 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.

This is a school district property so all school and district rules apply.  Students not following these rules will be removed from the stadium and may lose the opportunity to attend any more games at Pop Keeney.

6/3/09 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!
   
10/27/08  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.
