If your student tests positive for COVID-19, please notify our contact tracer Tien Nguyen as soon as possible.
Did your student receive a negative result with a home test?
Be sure to snap a picture before you discard it! You may be required to provide a negative test result to clear your student for return to school. Test results are at the request by and emailed to our COVID case manager. Please do not send the physical home test with your student to school; a picture is sufficient.
This week we completed contact tracing and reporting for 22 members of our school community who tested positive for COVID-19. Six or seven tested positive late last week or over the weekend, then we learned about them on Monday and processed their cases.

The World Language Department is proud to announce the April Rotary Student of the Month – Rei Zhu. Ms. Fukushima says, “Rei embodies excellence in all areas as a language learner!

He is the “cool senpai” that all the underclassmen look up to! Omedetou-gozaimasu (Congratulations)! You can find Rei in the math lab, as an active officer for the National Honor Society, on the EHS Equity Team and the Japanese Cultural Club.

Financial Assistance needed for Prom?
Seniors, please contact your Counselor asap if you need financial assistance for Prom tickets or a dress!
From Youth Eastside Services' Counselor Andrea Frost
Are you seeing an increase with changes in mood, attention, or behavior in your child? Are they tardy or going to the bathroom more than usual at school or home? Has their friend group changed, are they isolating more, communicating less or using cologne, perfume, gum, mouthwash or air fresheners more often?
These may be signs they are experimenting with vaping nicotine, marijuana or other substance use. If you have questions or concerns about your child, you can check out this Community Resource sheet for Parent support at the link here or the other websites for gathering information on substances or ideas on how to start conversations with your teen about drug use. There are also helplines for you and your teen--all free resources! Or you can contact Andrea Frost, your EHS Substance Use Prevention Intervention Specialist at andreaf@youtheastsideservices.org.
