Plan for Return to In-Person Learning
We are happy to announce that additional students will soon come to campus for hybrid learning. This is in accordance with Gov. Inslee and Washington Department of Health's updated Decision Tree and School Metrics.
Starting Monday, February 8, grades 3-4 will begin in-person hybrid learning in an AM/PM model, 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday). All safety and hygiene protocols will be in place in both schools, and we will closely monitor regional and local case numbers to be sure that everyone is safe. As school, local, and county case numbers allow, we will make plans to include Grade 5, then MS students in the coming weeks, with the goal to bring all students back to school for in-person learning this spring.

High School Building Temporary Closure
Due to a mechanical issue with our hot water heater at the high school, we will have to close the building to all students until the repair can be made. The part is scheduled to arrive and the repair be completed on Friday, January 29th.
Students will still be expected to check into their classes virtually during this time. If they are not in their virtual classrooms, they will be marked absent. School is not closed – only the building.
