Spring Musical Chair Needed!
We are starting to ramp up to have a Covid safe musical this spring and we need your help! If has been a Rockwell tradition for years to have the 4th and 5th graders volunteer to perform a musical at the end of April, but we need to start the preparations for that now.
In the past, we have used theater companies to teach the students the musical in and after school, but we need a chair (or co-chairs) to start planning and organizing both the production company and the student volunteers.

COVID Student Quarantine Update
As we near the middle of the fall season, we want to thank all of our students, families, and staff for the collective efforts to keep everyone safe. We need everyone to keep being vigilant about staying home when sick, wearing face covering, and washing hands.
We continue to follow guidance from King County Public Health, when it comes to determining when students can return to school when they are close contacts, test positive, or have symptoms. Isolating and quarantining students or staff that present symptoms, test positive, or have been close contacts is an important layer of safety to help prevent transmission of COVID-19 within our school.
When provided with a range of options we are using the safest options identified by King County Public Health. We will continue to evaluate the impact on our students and schools and may adopt other options identified by Public Health as conditions evolve. Under Public Health guidance:
-
Unvaccinated students and staff identified as close contacts and have a negative test will quarantine for 14 days from the last date of contact with the person with COVID-19. Students and staff who are vaccinated and do not have symptoms do not need to quarantine.
-
Students and staff who test positive and have no symptoms can return after isolating for 10 days. If students and staff who test positive and do have symptoms must also be symptom free before returning.
-
Students and staff with symptoms, who test positive, and have no close contact are required to isolate for 10 days.
-
Students and staff with symptoms of illness, who test negative and have no close contact, may return AFTER they are cleared by a contact tracer (this may take up to 48 hours). In all cases where students have symptoms, they must be symptom free for at least 24 hours before returning regardless of the length of isolation or quarantine.
- For families that cannot access free sites or private providers resources, the district will soon begin offering free testing at regional sites.
