Daily Schedule - Week of September 27th thru October 1st

To view upcoming weekly schedules visit the Eastlake website here.

Starting Monday, September 27th if any student or staff has any COVID symptom we will need to see negative PCR test results before the student’s or staff member’s quarantine is lifted. This is a new requirement from King County Public Health. Until now, a fully vaccinated student or staff member could return to school or work after 24 hours have passed since the symptoms improved without medication.  

Any student or staff member with COVID-like symptoms must contact our school nurse Tracy Gordon. She will ask you questions so she can determine whether you need to quarantine, and for how long.  

Please know that the COVID PCR test is considered to be more accurate than the rapid test. The LWSD can accept positive test results from either type of test. However, for negative results our district will only accept the PCR test. So if you are in quarantine and hope for a negative COVID test so you can return to school quickly, please make sure you are taking the PCR test and not the rapid test.  

Students must wear their masks correctly over their nose and mouth while in the hallways and while eating and drinking. If students eat or drink outside the classroom please follow these guidelines:
