Dawg Dish - Updates from MVHS
Week of April 26, 2021
Note from the Principal's Desk
Greetings!
As we wind down the month of April, I would like to thank our families, staff and community for their flexibility and patience as we transitioned back to on campus learning. While we are certainly not back to fully "normal" status, we are on our way. One of the questions asked last week was whether or not MVHS would be back in person in the fall. We are anticipating that, with approval from WA DOH, we will fully be back in person next fall (5 days a week, traditional schedule). This, of course, depends on extinguishing COVID 19 spread in the community via vaccinations, social distancing and following mask mandates. Information on vaccination clinics for Skagit County, if you are in need, can be found at the end of this newsletter.
Below you will also find important information regarding upcoming winter sports, coming school year opportunities and end of the school year celebrations for students. Please be sure to save the dates and mark your calendars for all that apply for your MVHS student.
With respect,
Dr. Terri Wattawa, Principal
Al terminar el mes de abril, me gustaría agradecer a nuestras familias, personal y comunidad por su flexibilidad y paciencia mientras regresamos al aprendizaje en el campus. Si bien ciertamente no hemos vuelto a un estado completamente "normal", estamos en camino. Una de las preguntas que se hicieron la semana pasada fue si MVHS volvería en persona en el otoño. Anticipamos que, con la aprobación de WA DOH, volveremos en persona el próximo otoño (5 días a la semana, horario tradicional). Esto, por supuesto, depende de extinguir la propagación de COVID 19 en la comunidad a través de vacunas, distanciamiento social y siguiendo los mandatos de máscaras. La información sobre las clínicas de vacunación para el condado de Skagit, si lo necesita, se puede encontrar al final de este boletín.
A continuación, también encontrará información importante sobre los próximos deportes de invierno, las oportunidades del próximo año escolar y las celebraciones de fin de año escolar para los estudiantes. Por favor asegúrese de guardar las fechas y marcar en su calendario todo lo que aplique para su estudiante de MVHS.
Con Respeto,
Dra. Terri Wattawa, Directora

Tips for registering in PrepMod:
· Each person needs to be registered separately. If family members also qualify please try to register them for the same day. If they have different time spots they can come at the earlier time and go through the clinic together.
· 16 and 17 year olds should arrive with a parent or guardian OR have a parent available for phone consent when they arrive at the clinic.
· The clinic date and location are found at the top of the registration screen. Spanish language registration is available via a button in the upper right of the screen.
· The time selection for that date is the first screen that appears. If you are assisting with registration please write down the time you choose because it does not appear again when registration is complete.
· The registration consists of 4 screens. Save and move to the next screen and be sure to complete through the review page until you receive your confirmation.
· Fields are required to be filled in but you can be flexible with what is entered. For instance if someone does not have an email use: noemail@co.skagit.wa.us. Phone numbers are important, please try to provide a good phone number.
· Insurance information is not collected beyond the single type of insurance question. We do not bill insurance and there is no fee for vaccination.
· All print materials are available in English and Spanish at clinics. We have Spanish and Mixteco speakers present on Friday and Saturdays.
· Information on what to expect at the clinic and directions can be found at www.skagitcounty.net/covidvaccine .
· Second dose appointments are reserved for all that receive first dose either 3 weeks later.
Thank you all! Let’s get people registered for vaccine! Remember that the Fair now offers the PlayZone for kids!

Consejos para registrarse en PrepMod:
· Cada persona debe registrarse por separado. Si los miembros de la familia también califican, intente registrarlos para el mismo día. Si tienen horarios diferentes, pueden venir antes y pasar juntos por la clínica.
· Los jóvenes de 16 y 17 años deben llegar con un padre o tutor O tener uno de los padres disponible para dar su consentimiento por teléfono cuando lleguen a la clínica.
· La fecha y la ubicación de la clínica se encuentran en la parte superior de la pantalla de registro. El registro en español está disponible a través de un botón en la parte superior derecha de la pantalla.
· La selección de hora para esa fecha es la primera pantalla que aparece. Si está ayudando con el registro, anote la hora que elija porque no volverá a aparecer cuando se complete el registro.
· El registro consta de 4 pantallas. Guarde y pase a la siguiente pantalla y asegúrese de completar la página de revisión hasta que reciba su confirmación.
· Los campos deben completarse, pero puede ser flexible con lo que ingresa. Por ejemplo, si alguien no tiene un uso de correo electrónico: noemail@co.skagit.wa.us. Los números de teléfono son importantes, intente proporcionar un buen número de teléfono.
· La información sobre seguros no se recopila más allá del tipo de pregunta sobre seguros. No facturamos al seguro y no se cobra ninguna tarifa por la vacunación.
· Todos los materiales impresos están disponibles en inglés y español en las clínicas. Contamos con hablantes de español y mixteco presentes los viernes y sábados.
· Puede encontrar información sobre qué esperar en la clínica e instrucciones en www.skagitcounty.net/covidvaccine.
· Las citas para la segunda dosis están reservadas para todos los que reciben la primera dosis 3 semanas después.
