School Building Reopening

In-person instruction 

Governor Inslee’s Proclamation Children and Youth Mental Health Crisis states, "By April 19, 2021, all school districts must offer at least 30% of average weekly instructional hours as on-campus, in-person instruction for all K-12 students who wish to attend in-person.”

We are offering in-person instruction in a hybrid learning model for all students PreK through grade 12. For details, please go to Hybrid Learning

  • The Washington State Department of Health  guidance states that small groups of students can safely be taught in person with safety protocols in place when COVID rates are above 350 cases per 100,000 residents.
  • Public Health Seattle & King County has provided clear guidance for minimizing the spread of COVID in schools.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to encourage schools to reopen.
  • Schools in other areas that are offering hybrid instruction have found that virus transmission in schools is no higher than in the community.
