Dear Wolves,

We made it through the first week of concurrent instruction. As with all our recent transitions, we will continue to learn and improve. Although it has been inspiring and rejuvenating to see students back on campus, we need to make a concerted effort to also serve our remote students. We appreciate your patience as we figure this out.

In-person students need to go into Skyward every morning to complete their attestation. This is required not only on the mornings they are coming to school but also on the mornings they will be absent.  We must know for each absent student if the absence might be COVID-related. This also applies to Running Start and other part-time students as long as they have at least one in-person class on our campus. Starting next week we will remind in-person families by email and/or phone if absent students have not completed attestation.

When students walk into our school they show us a green check mark for their attestation. Some students are finding it easier to take a screen shot of their daily green check mark and then display this screen shot as they walk in, rather than going into Skyward again. This is fine as long as the screen shot also includes that day’s date.

T3 report cards will be available through Skyward after 9am on Thursday 29th April.

This country is facing a reckoning. Has been for some time now. The trial and conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd played out to the backdrop of increasing violence against people of Asian descent, the killings of Daunte Wright, Adam Toledo, Mi’Khia Bryant and Andrew Brown, the introduction and passage of Jim Crow voting laws across the nation, and anti trans legislation in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. We are once again having to ask ourselves who do we want to be as a nation? One built on love, dignity for all, and the celebration of the tapestry of different cultures, languages, ethnicities and races that make the United States unlike anywhere else in the world? Or do we want to lean into hatred, fear and the exclusion of difference to the point of tearing ourselves apart? At Eastlake we strive to be the former. We may stumble in our attempts, but we never lose sight of our end goal: to be a place where Trans rights are human rights, Black Lives Matter, Love is Love, we stand up against Anti Asian and Pacific Islander Hate, we are stronger because of our different abilities and ways of processing the world, and all religions are welcome. To that end, we know that as a school we are part of the larger community, and the world, and just like those working to make it a better place we ask ourselves today: what is justice? Justice is not one conviction, it is the murder of George Floyd not happening in the first place. Justice is not anti-trans laws being defeated in Washington state, it is them not being introduced in this nation ever. Justice is all of our students feeling safe enough to walk out their doors and come to school in person and not worry that the color of their skin will make them a target for someone else’s hate. So please join us in not only educating yourselves on what injustices are happening but also taking proactive action to create a community, a nation and world where we are not always chasing the hope of liberation, but where liberation is who we are.

There’s still time to file your financial aid application for this coming fall. In Washington, there are two ways to apply for financial aid. U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens can apply with the federal FAFSA form. People who can't file the FAFSA—due to immigration status or other issues with federal aid—can apply for state aid, including the new Washington College Grant (WCG) using the WASFA. Completing a FAFSA or WASFA financial aid application is an important first step toward college or career training.
