WHS Music Boosters News & Fundraiser
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored and supported Music Boosters this year! Our Disneyland Trip was amazing and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time! Almost 175 students and chaperones were in attendance and students had performances in California Adventure and workshops in Downtown Disney. There was a special morning ride on Guardians of the Galaxy before the parks opened, along with a catered breakfast. Memories that last a lifetime were made! Many families were also visiting the parks and able to attend the performances. Due to our amazing community, Music Boosters was able to reduce the cost of the trip, provide complimentary t-shirts, and pay for instrument rentals and baggage checks. Thanks for helping to make these things possible!
Our next Music Booster meeting will be Monday, May 8th from 6-7 p.m. in the WHS Library. We will be reviewing the trip, discussing the Pops Concert, and finalizing business for the school year. In June, we will be electing our board members for 2023-2024. We hope to see you there!
Take care,
Your Music Booster Committee

From the WHS Health Room
COVID Updates:
The Washington State Department of Health has provided new guidance for schools this fall. Please review the Symptom and Exposure Flowchart for Schools and learn about the Northshore School District's COVID information on our Health Room website so you are prepared for the school year. You'll find details about what to do if your child has:
- Symptoms,
- If your child is exposed to COVID,
- What kind of test your child should have,
- What to do if your child tests positive, and
- How you will be notified of COVID cases at school.
Other Illnesses:
To avoid the spread of illness other than COVID, follow these guidelines when deciding whether your child is healthy enough for school. In addition to the COVID guidelines, if your child has any of the symptoms below, please keep him/her at home until the symptoms subside:
- APPEARANCE/BEHAVIOR: unusually tired, difficult to wake, pale, skin rash, lack of appetite; these are often signs of underlying illness.
- FEVER: temperature of 100 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours
- VOMITING/DIARRHEA: within the past 24 hours.
- RASH: Any rash of unknown cause should be considered contagious. Please have your child examined by a health care provider to determine the cause and communicability of the rash before sending him/her to school. The school may require a note from the health care provider stating that the rash is not contagious.
- Other: For other specific diseases or health difficulties it is always a good idea to contact the school nurse. We are happy to share information and resources anytime!
Students must be fever-free without fever reducing medication and other symptoms improving before returning to school.
Medications at School:
If your student will be taking any medication at school, please contact the school nurse. The Northshore School District recommends that medication be taken at home whenever possible. We recognize, however, that in some cases it is essential that medication be administered during the school day. Learn about the procedures for the handling of ALL medications in the schools, as well as find the authorization form, on our Health Room website.
Please do not put any kind of medicine, including Tylenol, vitamins, and cough drops in your child's lunch box, backpack or pockets. Unidentified medicine can never be given at school.
Please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss health concerns about your student.

Reduced or Waived Fees 2022-23
Available by logging into ParentVue and completing the steps in the Student Information Updates module
***Step-by-step instructions on how to submit the consent form in ParentVUE can be found in .pdf HERE. An electronic step-by-step guide is also available on the district website.***
Please note: Part of the process when completing the consent form is families will first verify their information (address, phone, emergency contacts, etc.). The Consent form will appear after the race and preferred language questions. Parents/Guardians need to go through each page and verify information before reaching the consent form. The ParentVUE app on cell phones looks nearly identical to the computer version of ParentVUE for completing the online consent form.
If you qualify for free or reduced price meals, also apply for reduced or waived extra-curricular school fees pursuant to House Bill 1660 (that you may be eligible for) by completing that section of the Student Information Updates in ParentVue* on or after August 15 (see House Bill 1660 details below).
Completing the fee waiver form in ParentVUE* will allow your student's free and reduced status to be shared with those administering extra-curricular activities at our school or within the district, thus being able to waive or reduce certain fees.
Consent must be given each school year and does not carry forward from last school year. Instructions on how to submit the consent form in ParentVUE can be found on the district website.
Once the Consent is submitted through the Student Information Updates portal in ParentVUE, it takes a minimum of 24 hours for the waived fees to show up in TouchBase.
Visit the District website to learn how to apply for free or reduced price meals.
