COVID Communications
Based on the guidance from the Department of Health (DOH), and to efficiently keep our families updated with COVID-19 information, we are changing our COVID communications. With the latest guidance provided to Lake Washington School District, the district chose to use the place-based notification option for students when they are possibly exposed to a positive COVID case on campus. This means that instead of tracking down anyone who was within a certain amount of feet within a duration of time, we now notify families of any student who was in the same classroom or shared space with a COVID positive student or staff member. We realize that this will create an increase in messages from the school for some of our families and for our staff, but it is the most efficient notification system with the resources we have. This also meets the concerns of some who would like to know when they have been exposed to someone with COVID even when they are not sitting side-by-side. This is the method we will be using for the duration of the school year, so we thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this new process up until the last day of school.
What does this mean? You will receive an Exposure Notification Letter if you were in a classroom or office with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, regardless of how many feet apart or how many minutes together.
-Todd Apple
If your student tests positive for COVID-19, please notify our contact tracer Tien Nguyen as soon as possible.
Please check our District’s Health & Safety Dashboard to monitor the number of COVID-19 cases at Eastlake for students and for staff. You will also see the numbers from all the other LWSD schools and additional information from the King County dashboard.
