COVID precautions at schools: Daily Digital Attestation process for middle school/high school students, as follows:

We are excited to welcome back our in-person, grades 6-12 students on Monday, April 19! 

All Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students and staff must complete a health check each time they enter the building for the day to attest that they have no symptoms of COVID-19 or close contacts with people who have tested positive for COVID-19. 

Attestation and/or screening of all persons is an important step to keep anyone that has symptoms of COVID-19 out of district buildings. This process is required by The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) as well as the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I). 

For middle school and high school students, a new digital attestation process, called “Wellness Screening,” is available from use of a smart phone with an application. Elementary students will continue to complete paper attestation forms. 

Once it has been verified that the student has completed the wellness screener, the student’s temperature will be taken. If their temperature is under 100.4 degrees, the person can enter the building. Even if a student is going to be absent, we are encouraging students to complete their digital attestation to help us keep track of COVID symptoms.
