| Lady Falcons Basketball
win 4A State Championship!
| |
What a job by Woodinville! Congratulations to our Lady Falcon Basketball student-athletes, Coach Bullock, and Assistant Coaches Sam Bullock, Ryan Wilkerson, and Melissa Bento on bringing home the first-ever girls basketball 4A State Championship in WHS school history with their victory over Sumner 65-63 on Saturday, March 5 at the Tacoma Dome!
The championship victory came after the team won Regionals over Bellarmine Prep 65-61 on Saturday, February 26, followed by a first-round bye on March 2. Then the Lady Falcons beat Richland 45-33 on Thursday, March 3, followed by a win over Eastlake 59-55 on Friday, March 4! The team ended the season 25-1 overall and 11-1 in league play!
The State competition was a great, competitive high school basketball game, with our team playing incredibly! Sumner was up only once by 1 point in the 4th. The game started with an offensive outburst by the Lady Falcons who played outstanding all the way around and were up 25-16 at the end of the 1st. The game tightened up with the Falcons up 33-30 at the half and then 49-48 at the end of the 3rd. It was a nail biter at the end of the 4th, with the Falcons getting a tough bucket and then Sumner would score right back. There were three time outs in the final seconds of the game…at 28.5, 10.1, and 2.3 to go with the final score of 65-63 in the Lady Falcon’s favor!

More News this week from Coach Koch:
Lady Falcons 4A State Gymnastics Championships!!!
Last Saturday our lady Falcons SOARED to victory and reclaimed the WA State Gymnastics Championships title for 2022!! Their performance was electrifying and perfectly ended one of the best seasons they’ve ever had! Two weeks ago they won districts, but instead of relaxing and coasting to states, they identified weaknesses and focused and practiced even harder in the final days leading up to the championships. For example, the floor was their weak event at districts, but at states they wound up crushing it. The gymnastics team has such a deep bench, and practically all of our participating athletes (Katie Barker (Jr), Emily Browers (So), Ainsley Mann (Fr), Gigi Calozza (Jr), Kellie McElrath (Sr), Emma Mann (Sr)) made the podium at one or more events! Huge congratulations to Katie Barker (Jr) who earned 2nd in the All Around, and to coaches Kathie Koch and Shannon Kelly for leading the effort. Come celebrate their success on Wednesday morning at the WHS state champion assembly.

| Optional Masking begins Saturday, March 12
| |
With the transition to optional masking tomorrow, students were advised of the following information in 3rd period classrooms on Friday, March 11:
Beginning Saturday, March 12, masks will be optional indoors, outdoors, and on school buses. However, masks are still recommended by our state and local health departments.
The health and safety of our students, staff, and communities remain a top priority for us. It is important to understand that COVID-19 will remain with us for some time and to share some important information as we make this transition.
- There is ONE exception to the optional indoor polic: Health Care Rooms are protected --This means everyone in health care rooms (nurse’s office) must wear a mask
- Weekly COVID batch testing on Wednesdays will continue in partnership with the Department of Health
- There are many reasons why someone may choose to wear or not wear a mask, and those reasons may change over time.
- Some families may have vulnerable household members or have younger siblings who are not yet eligible for vaccination.
- Understand that each person’s needs and story are unique and valuable.
- Tell an adult if you witness or experience mistreatment or bullying related to masking. Saying “I was joking” or “I didn’t mean it” will not be accepted as an excuse for mistreating anyone.
- We don’t know if or when masking will be required again.
- As public health experts monitor COVID in our community, the guidance may be updated in the future.
In the meantime, continue to:
- Physically distance to the greatest extent possible
- Wash your hands frequently
- Stay home while experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
Finally, and most importantly, show mutual respect and concern. Give each other courtesy and continue doing what I see you do every day around our campus --- BE KIND.
GO Falcons!

| Message from Transportation
Please remind your students and staff that large items and items that can become projectiles during an accident are not allowed in any Northshore Vehicle. This includes but is not limited to Skateboards, bats, larger instruments, etc. A good rule of thumb is that it should fit in a backpack, or the student should be able to hold it in their lap with their backpack while another student is seated next to them with their items. If the student has to ask, then it's probably a good idea that they have a parent transport the item for them. If you have any questions, please contact transportation and we will be happy to help.
Thank you again,
MaryKay Branscomb

You may download the permission slip via the link below or pick up a hard copy in the College & Career Center.
The Northshore School District Racial and Educational Justice Department is announcing our Student Justice Conference for high school students in Northshore. This conference will be held on Friday, March 25 from 9:45 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. at Cascadia College.
WHO CAN ATTEND: This conference is designed for Northshore School District high school students.
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Student Justice Conference is to build space for Northshore’s high school students to celebrate their intersectional identities, build community and collaborate with one another, grow their knowledge and understandings about various forms of justice, meet and work with educators and community partners, and learn more about various higher education opportunities.
THEMES: identity, collaboration, education, leadership, justice, and intersectionality

WHS Parking and Drop-Off
from WHS SRO Deputy Brendan Dodge
Hello everyone. I am Deputy Brendan Dodge with Woodinville PD (KCSO). I am the SRO and a proud graduate of Woodinville High School. I write today to try to get word out to parents of a parking and student drop-off complaint I have gotten. Well, it is actually several complaints, and they have gone to the city, the police department and the school.
Immediately north of the school is the culmination of a dead end road. This city road starts as 134th Ave NE, running south from NE 205th St. There is a rough trail cut through the trees between the school and this street to connect them. However, 134th Ave turns into 134th Ct NE and then NE 199th Pl. The point at which 134th Ave turns into 134th Ct, noted by the red marker on the map, also marks the entrance to private property owned by an HOA. Everything past this point is an HOA-maintained private roadway. Residents here are trying to curb some parking that is happening, in a fire lane no less. They are also trying to stop drivers from coming down here to drop students off, as the trail to get to the school was made illegally by literally cutting through a cyclone fence with bolt cutters. It goes through not just the HOA, but someone’s yard along their house.
Please note, there have been property damage and littering issues, but it is also a civil liability for the residents here should someone be hurt. The residents just want to solve the issue amicably and do not want anyone ticketed or towed, so this notice is part of that informational campaign.
Even though the roadway is private property, the entirety of it is a fire lane, which means the vehicles can be towed immediately if parked.
On top of that, anyone driving or walking on this road, or down the makeshift trail, is trespassing. As I get pictures of vehicles, people and plates, I will try to talk to contact these folks as part of this informational campaign. However, repeat offenders could be cited/towed/charged, which no one wants.

Safety: Remind your students...
As a community, we hear across the nation, in our state, and even locally about students, when off campus, being approached for various reasons by individuals they do not know. Some of the reasons may be legitimate, but at times could be questionable. Our students are inclined to help people and at times may have their guard down during these possible encounters, so we are providing a friendly reminder to families to discuss and share with your student the importance of being alert when approached by individuals they do not know when out and about in the community.
| |
| Attention Parents/Guardians of Students Who May Have Covid-19 or Have Tested Positive
(Please go through these three checks daily!)
- IF a student has ANY symptoms consistent with Covid-19 (headache, stuffy/runny nose, sore throat, fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of taste/smell, nausea/vomiting, fever) the student should STAY HOME!!
- IF you have said to yourself, “It’s just a cold.” The student should STAY HOME!! Symptoms of a cold are the same as those for Covid-19. Please don’t have your student come to school. Plan for your student to get tested as soon as possible and submit test results to the WHS Nurses, Christie Callahan and Jennifer Gardner.
- IF a student has tested positive for Covid-19, please opt out of batch testing for 90 days. If this is not done, the student’s test results will most likely come back positive!
WHS Positive Batch Test Result - What Would Next Steps Be?
If your student is identified as having a positive result from a batch test taken at Woodinville High School, each student and parent/guardian will be notified. This would not mean they have COVID-19. It simply means someone in their batch of people had tested positive. To determine if your student is COVID negative, an individual confirmatory test will be required.
- Any fully vaccinated person in a positive batch does not have to quarantine but does have to get a confirmatory negative test.
- Any unvaccinated person in a positive batch does have to quarantine and has to remain in quarantine until they receive a confirmatory negative test.
Common questions:
Where and when is testing?
Confirmatory PCR testing for vaccinated or unvaccinated students can happen at:
1) Pop Keeney Stadium located at 9809 NE 188th St, Bothell, WA 98011. You Would Need to Register for a specific time. The registration link would be provided by Mr. Richardson upon notification.
OR
2) During the school day at WHS.
OR
3) Private health care provider.
After the test, results will be emailed to the address provided at check-in. Results are expected to be in the portal 24 hours after the lab receives the test. If more than 72 hours has passed and you have not received an email with your student’s results, you can call Assistant Principal Craig Richardson to see if the results are available. (Please note it is taking up to 3 days to get results.)
Will I be charged for the test?
No, the confirmatory PCR test is free.
What do I need to bring for the test?
Those being tested will be asked for their name, date of birth, email address where results will be sent, and a student ID card, if available.
What if I don’t want my student to have a confirmatory test?
In the absence of a negative test, there is a mandatory 14-day quarantine for those who are unvaccinated before returning to in-person learning. However, there is no requirement your student take the confirmatory test provided by the District. You may elect to have a PCR confirmatory test by your health care provider or at a local clinic or pharmacy (e.g. – Walgreens) within three days. Vaccinated students and staff will need to provide proof of taking a confirmatory test within three days of being informed that they were in a positive batch.
The District will accept these outside tests if the following information is shown: student’s name, date of the test, result of test and the document identifies the test provider. Rapid antigen tests are not accepted at this time.
What if my student is fully vaccinated?
Fully vaccinated means both doses and the two-week curative process for Moderna and Pfizer or one dose of Johnson & Johnson and the same two-week curative process. Proof of vaccination will be required to avoid quarantining until confirmatory testing. You will need to notify your school that your student is fully vaccinated. Be prepared to provide proof of your student being fully vaccinated to Nurse Nurse Jennifer Gardner jgardner2@nsd.org.
Throughout the pandemic the information for K-12 education has continued to change. The information above is the current process for Northshore’s positive batch testing results. Questions can be e-mailed to Assistant Principal Craig Richardson crichardson@nsd.org, and Nurse Jennifer Gardner jgardner2@nsd.org.
Thank you for your help in keeping Woodinville HS Students healthy and safe.

| |
| Attendance & Early Dismissals
Our student day is from 8:20 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. and WHS expects all students to attend school every day. Below are a few highlights of our attendance policy and procedures:
- Absences must be excused within two (2) school days of the absence or students will be assigned progressive discipline.
- Ten hours of excused and/or unexcused absences in a semester in a given class may result in going through the Attendance Validation process.
- When a student accumulates three (3) or more days of unexcused absences it will result in a conference with administration.
- If a student misses more than 15 minutes of class, it is considered an absence
- If a student requires an early dismissal, the student needs to come to the Attendance Office before school or during Options with a parent/guardian signed request. We are no longer accepting phone calls or emails for early dismissal to limit classroom interuptions.
- Students who arrive late to school (both excused and unexcused) must check in at the Attendance Office for a pass before proceeding to class.
Please refer to the WHS Website’s Attendance Page and/or the WHS Student Handbook for more details or contact the Attendance Office at 425.408.7410 or whsattendance@nsd.org.

Northshore Schools Foundation: Request for Removing Barriers Support
Basic Needs Aid
When a family is in crisis and normal household activities are disrupted, students experience distress that affects their attendance, coursework and classroom behavior. NSF's Basic Needs Aid Fund allows families to stock up on groceries or fill the car with fuel so that they can direct their energy where it is most needed: finding a permanent solution to the situation at hand (https://www.northshoreschoolsfoundation.org/request-support/#basicneedsaid).
Apply for Funds
For WHS students, contact Counselor and CARE Team member Sarah Brenner at sbrenner@nsd.org and/or your student’s school counselor or grade-level administrator to describe the temporary challenge or circumstance and request support. All NSF funding requests must come from an approved school staff member.
The NSD staff member will then submit your request.
Foundation leadership will review the request within 5 days and contact the NSD staff that submitted the request with details.
