COVID Protocol:
On August 5, 2022 the Washington State Department of Health released updated COVID-19 guidelines for K-12 schools and childcare, and on August 11, 2022 the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released revised recommendations.
These policy changes reflect a significant shift towards long-term COVID-19 management and away from an emergency response. Northshore School District has adjusted our COVID-19 protocols accordingly while continuing to prioritize the health of our students, staff, and communities and safely preserve in-person learning.
The most significant change is that the District won’t be offering universal batch testing (screen testing) in alignment with revised guidance from the CDC. The CDC no longer recommends testing of individuals without COVID-19 symptoms. Instead, our testing program will focus on responding to suspected or confirmed outbreaks and preserving in-person learning. To learn more, please review the 2022-23 COVID-19 protocols on the District website.
School Meal Changes:
Are you Ready for the 2022-23 Meal Program Changes? Northshore School District, like most districts in Washington, will again charge for school lunch and breakfast at the start of the 2022 school year. The Federal COVID-19 waivers that allowed U.S. public schools to offer free breakfast and lunches to all students, regardless of income, expired this last June.
Lunches are no longer free. Please make sure to load your child's lunch card if you are planning on having your child buy lunch.
Lunch is $5.00
Breakfast is $2.50
Milk (alone) is $0.75
You can use this link to find out how to pay for lunch.
Now more than ever, it is important that if you believe your family qualifies for free or reduced-priced meals, please fill out an application as soon as possible. Families must qualify for benefits each year. In addition to meals, those who qualify can also receive discounted or free school services including athletic fees, field trip fees, ASB fees, college application fees, and more!
