WHS Parking and Drop-Off
from WHS SRO Deputy Brenda 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.

Senior Emma Mann Woodinville Chamber of Commerce Student of the Month for February! 

Woodinville High School is pleased to announce that Senior Emma Mann was celebrated as Woodinville Chamber of Commerce’s Student of the Month at their luncheon on Thursday, February 17! Emma serves as our Associated Student Body president, is a gymnast, and has earned a 4.0 GPA while pursuing a rigorous course of study that includes Advanced Placement classes.  With positivity and optimism, Emma leads her peers building our school culture and Falcon spirit while exhibiting excellence throughout our “5A’s: Academics, Activities, the Arts, Athletics, and Advanced Placement, all while embracing our motto of “One Falcon, One Family”.   

With an ever-present smile, Emma reaches out and connects with students to help everyone gain a sense of belonging. As an AP Art student, Emma inspires us all with her warm-even demeanor, endless love of craftsmanship and commitment to sharing in the creative journey with her fellow peers. 

Within WHS athletics, Emma has been a member of the WHS Gymnastics Team for 4 years and has been a team captain for the last two years.  Emma is a strong and compassionate leader.  She works hard to create an inclusive environment for our Gymnastics Team.  She is a friend to all and is a constant source of encouragement.  Emma is a trustworthy teammate who is always ready to work hard and give her all to her team. 

Within activities as Student Body President, Emma works very hard, every day, to build strong relationships with, administrators, staff, custodians, teachers, and her peers. She is not only respected and loved by her teammates, but most importantly, trusted by them. We have much to be thankful for with Emma leading the way.  She contributes with heart, cares about all her fellow students, and truly wants to make a difference.   

Congratulations to Emma and her family on this honor! 

Senior Simon Swan earns 2nd Place at 4A State Wrestling Championship!

 
The crucible that is post-season wrestling whittled down the field to the best 16 wrestlers in the state in each weight class for the 4A division. Among those were five WHS Falcons: Sophomore Chase Jones (152 lb), Juniors Carlos Miramontes (160 lb) and Jayvon Garcia (195 lb), and Seniors Soobin Jones (girls 140 lb) and Simon Swan (170 lb). One other Falcon, Senior Kareem Salama (195 lb), earned a spot as an alternate by taking 5th in his weight class.
For many of the Falcon wrestlers who went to the state tournament at the Tacoma Dome February 18-19, a missed year due to COVID, the lack of tournament experience this season, tough draws in the tournament bracket, and the big stage that is the Mat Classic proved to be difficult challenges to overcome. However, Senior Simon Swan, wresting at 170 lb, dominated his half of the bracket before losing a tough overtime match in the finals to finish 2nd. The finish caps an amazing post-season run for Swan. From the KingCo tournament through the state tournament, he pinned 7 of 10 opponents and outscored the other 3 by a combined score of 17-10. Swan finished the season with a 27-1 record and was the first state finalist for Woodinville since Ryan Christensen won the state title in 2014, and the first state placer since Drew Christensen took 3rd in 2019.
In the girls tournament, Senior Soobin Jones (140 lb) won one match and lost two. She finished the season with a 23-7 record and was champion at both the KingCo and regional tournaments.
In other tournament action, Sophomore Chase Jones (152 lb) drew the eventual 4th place finisher for his first match, which he dropped 11-2. He bounced back in his second match to win a narrow 10-9 decision against an opponent from Chiawana High School (the team winners of the tournament). In his 3rd match, Jones wrestled senior Hunter Williams from Central Valley, the same opponent he lost to in the regional tournament and eventual 5th place finisher at state. Unfortunately, the result was the same, eliminating Jones from the tournament. Jones, however, clearly demonstrated that he is competitive with the best wrestlers in the state and as a shot at the podium next year.

At 160 lb, Junior Carlos Miramontes drew the eventual 6th place finisher for his first match and the eventual 8th place finisher for his 2nd match. In his second match, Miramontes lost by only 4 points, demonstrating that he can be competitive with some of the best wrestlers in the state.

At 195 lb, Junior Jayvon Garcia drew the eventual champion for his 1st match and a tough wrestler from juggernaut Tacoma for his 2nd match. While Garcia lost both matches, he gained valuable experience for next season.
The Falcons are poised for a good season next year. With another expected high turnout of wrestlers, the Falcons will likely field a full line up, and they will have a good balance of young and experienced wrestlers, with 3 leaders (Jones, Miramontes, and Garcia) who know what it takes to go deep into the post-season.

Congratulations to all the Falcon wrestlers and their coaches on a great season!

Mens Basketball competed at Regionals in Spokane; faced tough loss in overtime


Congratulations to our men’s basketball student-athletes and coaches on a great season! At Districts, held at EVCC on Friday, February 18, the team put the pressure on Mt.

Not detoured by the 70-55 loss, the team competed on a road trip to Spokane Saturday, February 26th to compete in a loser out game vs. Central Valley High where they faced a tough 69-66 loss in overtime, fighting until the end. It was commented that, “This team gets along. They truly are a team.” Thank you to the Falcon community for all the support this season!

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

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!)
 
  1. 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!!
  2. 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.
  3. 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 Christie Callahan ccallahan@nsd.org and 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, Nurse Christie Callahan ccallahan@nsd.org and Nurse Jennifer Gardner jgardner2@nsd.org.
 
Thank you for your help in keeping Woodinville HS Students healthy and safe. 

Weather & Emergency Information


Emergencies and weather-related problems can alter school schedules and affect bus transportation for students. Families will receive a telephone message from the district if there is a change to the school schedule. If no schedule change information is posted, schools and buses are on their regular schedules.
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.
