Note from the Principals
Dear Frank Love Families,
Heading into the Memorial Day weekend is always a signal that the end of the school year is upon us. It’s natural to begin to see students lose steam and start to disengage from the work of school. We understand the feeling and will continue to cheer on each student to finish out this year strong. You can help by continuing the routines and schedules you have likely set for school work and bedtimes. Encourage your student to talk about how they are feeling about the school year ending and help them find a fun way to mark this transition. Students could make a countdown calendar, write a note of gratitude to share with their teacher or classmate, or record all of the amazing skills they have learned this school year! Please look for more information in the coming weeks for an an opportunity to celebrate the end of the school year as a school community.
Wishing you a wonderful four day weekend.
Sincerely,
Katy French, Principal
Denise Waters, Assistant Principal

Health Room News
Daily Health Checks
Thank you for completing the daily health check before 8:30am on your student’s hybrid days. At 8:30am we print a list of students who are missing a health check. As each student arrives to the screening area, we look to see if their name is on the “missing daily health check list.” If they are on the list, we need to manually look up their health check on an iPad. The line moves faster for everyone if all the health checks are completed before 8:30am.
Safety Update about Face Coverings
The district has updated the safety directives to include that face coverings worn by students and staff must be masks. Gaiter-style face coverings or bandanas are no longer an acceptable alternative. We have extra masks at school if your student forgets their mask at home. See the district policy on face coverings here.
What if My Child is Sick?
Please be sure to contact the school nurse via email or phone if your student has any possible COVID symptoms, is having a COVID test, or is a Close Contact of someone who is known to have COVID. We need to be able to respond quickly to COVID cases to protect all the students and staff at our school.
COVID Vaccine News
There is good news about vaccines! Everyone 12 years old and up is now eligible for a COVID vaccine, and the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is available once again. One good website to search for vaccine appointments is https://prepmod.doh.wa.gov/ You can also use this website to search for a specific brand of vaccine. One local resource is the King County Vaccination Partnership on the Microsoft Campus. Click here to pre-register, and then call (425) 899-3933 to schedule. For help with other areas in the state, call 1-800-525-0127.
Community Assistance
During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our community has come together to help families in need. Organizations are ready to help with food, housing, healthcare and more. For more information use this link: https://www.nsd.org/northshore-learns/community/assistance
School lunches and breakfasts remain available for any child under 18. A weekly meal pick-up is available for remote students. Orders must be placed a week in advance for weekly meal pick up. See http://www.nsd.org/meals for more information.
