Hello From SWS! | January 23rd, 2023
Hello, SWS Community!
Happy Lunar Year!
Lunar New Year Performances:
During lunches last week we had music classes perform Gong Xi on the Boomwhackers and two solo performances to celebrate Lunar New Year. See the pictures below!
Message from Ms. Johnson:
- Thank you students for reading!
- Students will get a piece of paper reminding them if their book is overdue.
- Please remind your student to return their overdue library books this week so other students can read them.
Important Reminders
January 31st Clinic Vaccine Day:
The clinic will host a vaccine day on Tuesday, January 31st, to administer school-required immunizations and COVID booster shots! Contact clinic staff for information.
STUDENT IMMUNIZATIONS
Washington state law requires that students receive appropriate vaccinations for school entry by February 9th, 2023. After that date, school administrators are required to send students home until the student immunization requirements are completed. Washington State Law allows exemptions to the immunization requirements for religious, medical, or personal reasons.
For more information on immunizations, contact Nurse Andrea Kurtzman or go SPS Health Services website: https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/health-services/
