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.

Lady Falcons win 2023 WA State 4A Gymnastics Team Championships!!!

Last Friday evening February 24th, our lady Falcons SOARED to victory and came in first place at the 2023 WA State Gymnastic 4A Team Championships!!  It was an incredibly tight competition, as the top teams across the state were very evenly matched.  Our WHS lady gymnasts successfully defended their last years’ title and once again demonstrated their amazing skills, talents, discipline, and composure under pressure.  Gymnast powerhouses Katie Barker (Sr) took 1st place in her signature floor event with a 9.625 and Emily Brouwers (Jr) took 1st place in bars with a flawless 9.50 routine.  Gigi Calloza (Sr) and Ainsley Mann (So) also placed in the top 8 in vault and beam respectively, and collectively, these four earned an invitation to compete in the following day’s individual state champion competition. The overall 4A Gymnastics Team win would not have been possible without the stellar performances of all the post-season varsity team athletes, because they needed five high scores for each event to contribute to the total team score.  Fortunately, WHS has a deep bench, and Ava Clark (Sr), Lauren Kok (Jr), Sarah Ruana (Jr), Rachel Minter (Jr), and Sophia Brittingham (So) performances were absolutely critical to the WHS team’s success.  Had they *all* not scored as well as they did, the team would not have won.  Huge congratulations to the WHS Falcon gymnasts and their coaches Kathie Koch and Shannon Kelly for a very successful season.  GO FALCONS!

Top 4 Team Scores - 2023 WA State 4A Gymnastic Team Championships
Woodinville - 180.400
Camas – 179.575
Sumner – 173.950
North Creek – 163.85

Individual All-Around Results at 2023 WA State 4A Gymnastics Team Championships:
2nd – Emily Brouwers – 37.20
5th – Katie Barker – 36.625
8th – Ainsley Mann – 36.15

Jamison Atwood named Woodinville Chamber of Commerce February 2023 Student of the Month!

Junior Jamison Atwood was named the Woodinville Chamber of Commerce Student of the Month at the Chamber's luncheon on Thursday, February 16! Jamison embodies Woodinville High School's core value of student voice and excellence in leadership. Jamison leads his peers by example both academically, athletically, and socially. He is not only a star leader of the men's varsity basketball team but operates as a true leader and role model as he walks the halls each day and shows up in his classes and excels in his studies. Jamison recently served as a student leader of our school’s MLK Jr. assembly where he helped plan and execute the school-wide event. Many of his peers commented how they were inspired by Jamison’s words and presence, showcasing the extraordinary value that he adds to our WHS community. Congratulations to Jamison and his family on this honor!

IMPORTANT: WHS Reminder Regarding AP Exam Registration - March 15 Deadline

This is an important notice regarding AP exam registration.  

When students created a MyAP account in the College Board portal to gain course access and register for an exam(s), an AP exam was officially ordered for your student. Please be sure to make payment for all exams your student has registered for on their MyAP account in Total Registration to complete the exam enrollment. (www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/481598

If your student does NOT wish to take an exam, parents/guardians please notify Paul Cho (pcho@nsd.org) as soon as possible so the exam ordered can be canceled, as there will be a $40 fee assessed to your student’s account for each unused exam.
Again, please email Mr. Cho if you want to cancel an exam. Mr. Cho will help with the exam cancellations, as College Board accounts do not allow students (or teachers) to cancel the exams themselves in MyAP.

The final deadline for all registration transactions must be made by Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

It was fun to have students come by to say hello and purchase cards. We wish we had had a longer window to sell, but we will consider doing this fundraiser again. We are part of an amazing community!

Our next Dine Out opportunity is next Tuesday, March 7th, from 4-8 p.m. at Chipotle. This event was tremendously successful in the fall and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces! We hope to see you there!

We look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday, March 13th, from 6-7 p.m. in the WHS Library for our next Music Booster meeting. We will be discussing trip information, senior scholarships, and our remaining fundraisers.


Take care,
Your Music Booster Committee

Women of Influence Club seeking donations for May Conference!

Women of Influence Club is hosting their 4th annual Women of Influence Leadership Conference in May. This conference will connect aspiring Woodinville High School students to influential female leaders. The conference will include a panel discussion of eight highly accomplished women in diverse occupations, followed by small round table discussions accompanied by a catered meal.

The goal of this conference is to empower young leaders by giving them an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with professional women in a variety of industries.

In order to stay true to our values of equity and inclusivity, and to give our attendees the best experience possible, our goal is to make this conference free of any cost.

The easiest way to sponsor is by giving a non-refundable monetary donation so we can cover the cost of the conference.

High School Accreditation

Woodinville High School is participating in the Washington State Accreditation process this school year. 
  • This is a voluntary process that takes place every 6 years, where we demonstrate that here at WHS we provide our students with a high quality and rigorous education.
  • Accreditation is an inquiry-based process, tightly aligned to our Strategic Action Plan, and the work we do at WHS. 
  • Accreditation is not only an internal review of how we are doing in meeting our goals, but also an external review process where we share our work and improvement plan with both a site evaluation review team and a state level review panel. 
We are excited about the process and showing off what a great school we have!

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.
