National College Decision Day for Seniors, May 1st!
May 1st is the deadline for seniors to select their college. This is a big decision! Seniors have researched, visited, asked around, and have not assumed anything. Additionally, while keeping in mind what is important to them, they have considered and reflected upon:
- Campus and class size
- Location and /or distance from home
- Majors, courses of study and job training
- Study abroad opportunities
- Internship opportunities and job-placement programs
- Tuition affordability
- Housing options
- Student body and student life
- Extracurricular activities
It’s been a journey! It is a tradition at WHS is to celebrate the graduating class on this day! We welcome and encourage our students (and staff) to participate!
- Seniors come dressed in gear from their future school or gear that represents their future plans
- Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen wear gear representing where they may want to go, a school/team they love, or Falcon gear
We will also have an opportunity for seniors to share their future plans on a wall outside the ASB room, whether it be college, a career, a gap year, or the military.
In both their academic accomplishments and within the college admissions process, seniors and their families should be very proud of all the hard work and effort up until this point!
Congratulations, Best of Luck and...GO Falcons!

Theatre Tickets - Spring Play: Rumors
WHS Spring Play: Rumors,
April 26-29, 7:00p
Woodinville High School Theatre Company presents Rumors - A Comedy by playwright Neil Simon! Rumors is a side-splitting farce! To quote the playwright himself, “This play has no socially redeeming qualities, but you will laugh the whole way through!” Rumors is set in a large, tastefully appointed townhouse, where a group of four affluent couples have all been invited to the 10th wedding anniversary dinner party for the Deputy Mayor of New York, Charley Brock, and his wife Myra. Upon arrival, the first guests discover the hostess is missing, the servants have vanished, and the host has shot himself through the earlobe. Though it is only a flesh wound, the self-inflicted injury sets off a series of comic complications as the guests try to conceal the truth of the events from each other, the local police, and the media. As the confusion and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
Due to its adult content (prolific adult language and innuendo), this show is not recommended for audiences under 14 years old, or playgoers who are sensitive to swearing. See the press release for further details!
Performances are April 26-29, 7:00p at the Woodinville High School Theatre.

WHS Drama Booster Club Fundraiser, Sat, April 29, 2-5p
Come support the WHS Drama Booster Club by giving up stuff you really don’t need anymore!
The WHS Drama Boosters Club is partnering with Seattle Goodwill to hold a donation drive to raise money to support our wonderful theatre students.
Clothing, jewelry, household items, electronics: you can bring almost anything to the donation drive, provided it is not hazardous waste, in need of repair, furniture (bigger than an end table) or a TV weighing over 50 pounds.
Donations to Seattle Goodwill support its free Job Training and Education programs. Last year, Seattle Goodwill provided free training to over 13,375 people, 74 percent of which were below the Federal Poverty Line. Giving to Goodwill is also good for the environment. Last year Seattle Goodwill recycled over 60 million pounds of donations that otherwise might have ended up in landfills.
So, clean up your basements, organize your garages and straighten your closets. It's time to bring your treasures to the donation drive!

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.

- Visitors and volunteers MUST sign in at the Main Office upon their arrival and wear a visitor badge while on campus.
- Unfamiliar persons and/or persons not wearing a visitor’s badge will be directed to the Main Office. Visitors may also be asked for identification.
- In respect for the learning environment, visits to observe a classroom and/or visits to see students in a classroom during the day must be arranged through administration.
- School-age visitors and graduates are not allowed on campus at any time during the school day. Special requests must be cleared through administration in advance.
For more information, please visit the WHS website.
Thank you for your support and help with these procedures that promote a safe and productive school environment at Woodinville High School!

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.
