Eastlake Student Health Services is collecting Covid vaccination information for students who have been fully vaccinated. If your student has received BOTH doses of the Covid vaccination, we urge you to take a picture or scan of the vaccination card and send it via email to EHS-Vaccinations@lwsd.org. Once we receive your vaccination card it will be verified with the Washington Immunization Information System (WAIIS) and uploaded into Skyward.

Students and families can access some LWSD digital platforms over the summer. Use this link to download the list or see the list here.

Summer Athletics

Each summer, many of our programs have summer offerings. These are intended for student-athletes who plan to play on our teams during the up-coming 2021-2022 school year. These workouts are optional but encouraged.

Visit the Eastlake Athletics website here for complete information - FINAL DEADLINE to sign up is June 20th.

Visit the Eastlake main Athletics page for complete registration information.

Reminder that to play a sport at Eastlake, you must have a current physical on file in the Athletic office. With the Covid school closures, and the suspension of sports at the middle school level, there are many incoming 9th graders that do not have a current physical. If you are planning on playing a summer sport, please make sure you get a physical this summer!

Need to check the expiration date of your students physical? Log into FinalForms and directly under your students name is the date of expiration.

Hacktable is a student-run organization based in the Seattle area working to make STEM education more accessible and fun for everyone. Their goal is to create a platform where students can collaborate with others who share their interests in computer science and STEM. Hackathons are events that span over several days where computer programmers and others involved in software development will work together to develop a project. In November 2020, Hacktable hosted a free, virtual event. It featured a focus on virtual education. They had over 300 participants, from middle schoolers to college students, who worked together to create over 60 distinct projects.

For information about the Hacktable event that will be happening in July click here.

A big thank you to Julie Blissett for heading up the senior celebrations sponsored by the PTSA this year. Thank you also to Leanne Brodzinski for producing this year’s PTSA Senior Convocation event and Senior Slideshow.

We appreciate all of the time and effort that went into honoring the Class of 2021!

I do not meet with students over the summer, so I encourage you to reach out to community providers and emergency services for crises. Here is a list of crisis and community supports for you to contact. I will be checking my email this last week of school, so please reach out ASAP if you have immediate questions/concerns.

We’re closing out the Wolves Weekly with some tips for summer and a peek at the fall ahead, especially for rising seniors. We love working with you, Wolves. Rest up, recharge and we’ll see you in September!

The Guide includes many of our favorite resources, tips and links for a variety of post high school options, college planning to-do’s, money matters, timelines and more. Keep it handy during the summer break.

Summer is a great time for rising seniors to get started on their college essays. Check out the essay prompts for The Common Application and The Coalition Application. Some schools, like the University of California schools, use their own application portal and essay questions. Some schools, like Washington State University, do not require an essay under most circumstances. Check with your target schools for application requirements and consider finishing the summer with a draft. Look for essay and application support in Fall Wolf Time sessions as well as Senior English classes.

Wednesday, September 8, 2021, 6:00 pm. This event will be conducted virtually on Teams.

Out-of-pocket costs are an important factor when choosing a college for many. Summer is a great time for families to discuss what is affordable. While doing college research, make sure to check out the Net Price Calculators required on every college website for an estimate of costs. Scrutinize target college websites for merit aid opportunities and create a scholarship profile for outside scholarships on a website like Washboard too.

Never pay to apply for a scholarship or to have access to a scholarship database. Some scams are obvious, others are sneaky. Be wary of offers cloaked in accolades (“Congratulations on your selection for membership in the NSHSS Honor Society”) or exclusive memberships (“Join our membership of high achieving students!) When in doubt, ask Mrs. McGuigan (cmguigan@lwsd.org) in the EHS College and Career Center.
