COVID Safety

The safety of our staff and our students is our priority.

We continue to partner with staff and families, and with our local and state public health agencies — the Washington state Department of Health (DOH) and Public Health–Seattle & King County (PHSKC) – to keep our communities healthy throughout the 2022-23 school year.

Masking and physical distancing are no longer universally required in our facilities, with the exception of clinics and care spaces. There may be some situations where the use of a mask indoors may be temporarily required.

It is important that we respect each individual’s decision on masks; this means not questioning or criticizing another person’s choice. Students who come to school with masks will be responsible for keeping their masks on and staff will not be expected to remind students to put on or pull up their masks.

Our safety expectations and school safety plans are based on current guidance from local, state and federal public health agencies.
