Week of May 16th - 20th - Standard 5 Day Week Schedule.

To view upcoming weekly schedules visit the Eastlake website here.

If your student tests positive for COVID-19, please notify our contact tracer Tien Nguyen as soon as possible. 

We will start sharing Eastlake’s rate of COVID-19 in a different way. Instead of sharing the current week’s total cases at the end of every week, we are referring everyone to our District’s Health & Safety Dashboard:

This is what you’ll find on the LWSD Dashboard:

I hope you find our LWSD Health & Safety Dashboard informative.

We would like to remind you that the most up-to-date calendars are on the district website by clicking on the Calendar link in the top right corner. Some people are finding old and inaccurate versions of the LWSD school calendar by searching for it online. For example, the first option for a Google search is an outdated version. So please check the LWSD website when you need to see the calendar.  

On May 23rd and 24th Eastlake will host the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) and Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS).

On May 23rd, Sophomores and any Juniors or Seniors who haven’t completed a graduation pathway will take the ELA SBA. Juniors with the last name A-Mz have the option of taking the WCAS, although it is not a graduation requirement. On May 24th, Sophomores and any Juniors or Seniors who haven’t completed a graduation pathway will take the Math SBA. Juniors with the last name N-Z have the option of taking the WCAS, although it is not a graduation requirement. More information on the logistics of test day will be coming out soon. 

This week our ASL students participated in “Voices Off Day” to celebrate Deaf Culture, raise Deaf Awareness, and experience 12 hours with one less mode of communication. Students were free to break voice, when it was requested of them or out of frustration of not being able to communicate, but being conscious of why they broke voice. This experience gave students insight into the challenges, frustrations, and treatment the Deaf receive daily when intermingling with the hearing world. The students were then asked to fill out a journal entry about their experiences. As one student stated well “It helped me to be mindful of my behaviors and habits and how they can impact others.”

The Princeton Review is excited to announce Academic Success Week: Preventing Summer Slide. We know that students can often slide back on their key academic skills during the summer. We are hosting a series of events from May 15th to May 19th aimed to combat the summer slide. Our experts will discuss building study skills, writing academic essays, and how college admissions offices view high school grades. We will also have a special program covering what students should know about the new Digital SAT. You can download a flyer advertising Academic Success Week by clicking here.

Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) announced that the following students from Eastlake High School successfully completed the WAS Phase One curriculum and qualified to participate in the competitive Phase Two – the WAS Summer Residency: Olga Carvallo, Sagan Hoffman, Hudson Kass, and Charan Sampath. WAS is designed to connect high school juniors with educational and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through independent learning, hands-on interaction, professional guidance, and site-based tours. Since 2006, over 1,900 students have successfully completed the program and 67% reported being in a STEM career pathway. In October 2021, along with almost 200 others, these motivated students began Phase One, a five-month course consisting of eight NASA and University of Washington designed lessons. While successful completion of the curriculum can earn the students 5 UW credits in Earth and Space Science; the ultimate prize is securing a spot in Phase Two— the Summer Residency. This summer, WAS scholars will be presenting their design for a human mission to Mars. In each session, four student teams will cooperate to plan a human mission to Mars with support from professional engineers/scientists, university students, and certificated educators. Additionally, participants receive briefings from aerospace professionals, virtually tour engineering facilities, and compete in hands-on engineering challenges at home. Congratulations, Olga, Sagan, Hudson, and Charan!

Applications for Washington Aerospace Scholar’s 2022-23 program year will be available starting in the Fall of 2022. Be the first to know by filling out an interest form. The online course will begin in late October and participants must be high school juniors. Check out the Virtual Info Night on June 1st!
