School Update

School Closure


April 6, Governor Inslee and Superintendent Reykdal have confirmed school facilities will remain closed for on-site instruction for the entirety of the school year. 

Superintendent Dr. Joshua Meek affirms, "As our state continues our efforts at 'flattening the curve' by staying home and staying healthy, the Governor's decision is as expected, and we are starting to see some impacts of these aggressive moves. Unfortunately, this mandate also means our inability to return to our school buildings this school year."

We understand you have many questions– What does this mean for my child's education? How are we moving forward? What will graduation look like?

"The good news is that our dedicated team of staff has already been working hard to provide essential services and remote delivery," says Meek. "We already have the systems and ability to maintain connections with our learning community, and will continue to provide:
       • Remote delivery of instruction
       • Food and child care services
We will continue to do our very best to meet our student's needs– this mandate just extends our efforts."

We anticipate more details and instruction from the state and will continue to provide more information as it becomes available.
