Golden Apple Award Winners
Golden Apple Award Winners

WHS PTSA Golden Apple Awards!

Congratulations to PE Teacher Darcy Vitulli, Math Teacher Michelle Gruber, and Athletic Trainer Sarah Carlson who were presented with "Golden Apple" awards from WHS PTSA on Friday, June 6 at the Moving Up Assembly.

WHS PTSA representative Kim Norris shared, "I am excited to present the 2025 Woodinville High School PTSA’s Outstanding Educator Award. This award recognizes teachers & staff who make significant contributions and enhance the education of students at WHS. We received nominations for more than 70 teachers this year, which is fantastic & speaks to the strength of the staff here at WHS. We would like to thank all the teachers for the countless hours you spend preparing, teaching, and making a difference in the lives of our students. Let’s give all our teachers a round of applause.

Our first Outstanding Teacher award winner makes students feel welcome and important. She always has a smile on her face, which lets everyone around her know that she is happy to see them and loves being at school – this positivity is contagious. We all know she loves being a falcon as she has taught at Woodinville High School for 36 years. From day one to the final bell, Darcy Vitulli showed up with heart, humility, and humor. We would like to congratulate you on your dedication, impact on students, and legacy at Woodinville, as one of our Golden Apple award winners. Enjoy every minute of what’s next—you have earned it.
 
Our second Outstanding Educator award recipient brings wisdom, patience and quiet leadership to our school. One student commented, 'She doesn’t just teach – she listens, encourages, and makes you feel like you matter.' Simply put, Woodinville High School is better because of her. Her fellow Math teacher summed it up so well, “Her retirement is well-earned, but her absence will be deeply felt.” Although she is not in the audience today, we would like to thank Ms. Gruber for all that she has contributed to WHS and congratulate her as one of our 2025 Golden Apple Award winners.

Our third and final Outstanding Educator is recognized for her exceptional ability to connect with students and her unwavering dedication to Woodinville High School. She never lets kids be forgotten. She goes above and beyond to support our student-athletes, providing expert care, steadfast commitment, and a calming presence both on and off the field. Students love her because she genuinely cares about them and wants to see them do their best. Sarah Carlson, you consistently go above and beyond to ensure the health and safety of all athletes at Woodinville High School, which is one of the many reasons you have been awarded the Golden Apple this year. Thank you for all that you do.
WHS PTSA congratulates Ms. Vitulli, Ms. Gruber, Ms. Carlson and all the exceptional teachers at WHS. We also extend our warmest congratulations to Candace Wenzel, Shannon Dias & Beth Grothen who have been recognized for their many years of service to our school. If you are here, please stand so we can all share in celebrating your well-deserved title as our 2025 Golden Acorn Award winners. Our school motto, “One Falcon, One Family,” truly reflects the spirit of our community, and we are grateful for the contributions of our students, parents, teachers, and staff in making our school feel like a family.

The awards were determined with input from WHS students and staff. Thank you to the WHS PTSA for your efforts and support!
GO Falcons!

Water Safety From the Nurses

As we round the corner to warmer weather, please remember that our lakes and rivers are still dangerously cold. Even if the top few inches of water feel warm to the touch, know that everything below that can take your breath away! This causes a reflex that has been known to drown people in our region every year. 

Please read the information in the links below so that everyone can have fun in the water and STAY SAFE!

Greetings From the School Counseling Office!

Hi Falcons!

It’s hard to believe, but there are just two weeks left in the school year—summer is almost here! As we approach the finish line, we encourage all students to check in with their teachers and make sure any missing assignments are completed before the semester ends.

Seniors:
Graduation is nearly here, and we couldn’t be prouder of you! It has been a true privilege to watch your growth and accomplishments throughout the years. Celebrating with you at Senior Awards Night was a highlight, and we can’t wait to see you walk across the stage in your caps and gowns on June 12th. You’re almost there—finish strong!

On June 11, seniors will receive an email from Ms. Tang to confirm their post-high school plan, as indicated in the senior survey. Please respond to confirm your plan. If you're attending college, the email will also include for where we will be sending your final high school transcript. 

🔗 Senior Timeline: WHS Senior Timeline
🎓 Scholarship Opportunities: College & Scholarship Info
If you have any questions, please reach out to your counselor or contact Ms. Tang in the College and Career Center.

Juniors:
You're just one step away from being Seniors! Summer is a great time to start thinking ahead—whether it’s college, career training, or other post-high school plans. If you missed your counselor’s presentation, be sure to check out our college and career planning resources on the counseling website.

All Students:
Remember, the Counseling Office is open for drop-in visits before/after school, during Options, or at lunch—we’re always happy to see you! If you need to meet at a different time, you can also schedule an appointment through Bookings.
Let’s finish the year strong together!

transition into summer kit

Transition into Summer Kit

As the school year wraps up, students and families may face challenges during the shift into summer. To support your community, we’ve created a Transition into Summer Kit—a ready-to-use resource designed to guide families through a healthy, intentional transition.
Families can access the following worksheets:
  • Summer Tips for Families: To aid the transition into summer.
  • Summer Intention Setting: A guided activity to help families foster purpose and joy.
  • Healthy Summer Habits: Tips on screen time, stress, and routine to encourage balance.
  • How to Find a therapist: A guide to accessing support through the summer months.
As the school year winds down, many families breathe a collective sigh of relief. The pressure of schedules, assignments, and daily routines begins to ease. However, the transition into summer can also bring its own set of emotional and mental health challenges. Shifts in routine, less structure, and increased family time (or lack of connection, depending on circumstances) can affect everyone's well-being in different ways.

Here are some therapist-approved tips to help students and families prioritize mental health during the summer months:
1. Keep a Healthy Routine (Without Over-Scheduling)
Having some predictable structure can be very grounding—especially for teens. Try to maintain consistent wake-up times, meal routines, and bedtimes. A loose daily plan that includes physical and social activities, as well as relaxation, can prevent the feeling of aimlessness that sometimes contributes to low mood or anxiety.
2. Prioritize Sleep
Sleep schedules often get disrupted over summer break. However, sleep remains critical for mental and emotional regulation at every age. Aim for 8–10 hours of sleep for teens. Create tech-free wind-down time in the evenings an hour before bedtime.
3. Build in Meaningful Screen Breaks
With more free time, screen usage tends to spike—sometimes at the expense of real-world connection and mental health. Encourage “tech-free” blocks during the day, especially in the morning and before bed. Use this time to engage in offline activities like reading, board games, or going for a walk together.
5. Get Outside—Daily if Possible
Nature has a powerful impact on mental health. Even short walks, outdoor play, or sitting in a green space can reduce stress and improve mood. Make it a family/individual  priority to spend some time outside every day—even if it’s just for 15 minutes.
6. Make Time for Connection
For some students, school is their main source of social contact. Families can help by encouraging social interactions through in person ‘hang outs’, camps, or community events. At the same time, build in regular family connection time—meals together, movie nights, or even shared chores can foster closeness.
8. Support Transitions and Emotions
Some students may be feeling anxious about upcoming changes—like starting a new school, moving, or just transitioning grades. Validate those feelings. Offer space to talk about worries and remind them that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Change often brings discomfort, and that discomfort doesn’t mean something is wrong—it just means something new is happening.
9. Don’t Be Afraid to Seek Support
Just because its summer doesn’t mean mental health concerns go on vacation. If your child or teen is showing signs of depression, anxiety, or emotional distress—such as persistent irritability, withdrawal, changes in sleep or appetite, or talk of self-harm—reach out to a mental health professional. Early support can make a significant difference.

A Final Thought:
Summer is a unique opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and reset. By weaving in simple mental health practices, families can help teens build emotional resilience—not just for the summer, but for life. The most important is to create a sense of safety, acceptance, and support within the home. That’s where well-being begins.

Report an Absence in 4 Simple Steps

While we know regular attendance is one of the most powerful ways to prepare your student for success, we also know that sometimes students must miss school for a variety of reasons. Next time that happens for your family, let our attendance office know through ParentVUE:
1.    Login to ParentVUE*
2.    Click the “Report Absence” button next to the name of your absent student
3.    Fill in the fields with the date(s) of the absence and provide an explanation
  • For example, describe if it is a full-day absence or if leaving early or arriving late, provide a specific time
4.    Click to submit, automatically notifying the school of the absence

Learn more or view step-by-step images and instructions. You can use this method to report an absence of up to 4 days. As a reminder, an absence of 5 days or longer requires families to submit a Notice of Pre-Arranged Extended Absence Form. 

You can support your student and our attendance office in these changes by using ParentVUE to make attendance notifications as early as possible.

2024-25 School Year Calendar Update: Last Day of School is June 20, 2025

Last week, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction informed Northshore that the requested waiver for two inclement weather days was approved. 
  • Northshore's updated last day of school for K-11th grade students is Friday, June 20, which will be a partial day. (WHS will operate on Last Student Day Schedule #28.)
  • Tuesday, June 17 and Wednesday, June 18 will be full days of school.
  • As a reminder, June 19 is a holiday (Juneteenth), and schools are closed.

Dismissal times for the last day of school, June 20, are listed on Start and Dismissal Times webpage.

Because Northshore schools were closed for weather-related issues for a number of days this winter, we have not met our state-required instructional hours. This means that instructional hours will need to be made up on two Wednesdays that were previously scheduled to be Early Release Wednesdays: April 30 and May 7. These two days – April 30 and May 7 – are now full days of school.

Revised one-page family calendars are posted to the district website. These updated calendars are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Hindi, Chinese - simplified, and Chinese - traditional.

Northshore’s Community-Supported Food Program and Backpacks for Kids - free and confidential

Northshore School District
 

 
May 5, 2025

Dear Northshore Families and Staff:

We recognize that summer can be a challenging time for our families who need additional support for their Northshore students. Our community has come together to support Northshore students with two important programs: Community-Supported Summer Food Program and Northshore Schools Foundation’s Backpacks for Kids. 

Participate in the Programs
In response, multiple community organizations and volunteers have come together to ensure that no Northshore student goes hungry during the summer months and everyone who needs a new backpack to start the 2025-26 school year gets one. For the food program, non-perishable items will be delivered to the homes of families that enroll in the community-supported program every two weeks. For Backpacks for Kids, the backpacks and supplies will be distributed to families through their student’s school in late summer.

If you are interested in receiving meal support or a backpack and school supplies, please enroll by completing this form.

Your submission is confidential and will only be shared with Northshore staff that are coordinating the program, district-approved volunteers supporting the food distribution, and the Northshore Schools Foundation. The food program will include deliveries from late June through August.

Safe Schools Reminder

The beginning of a new year provides a good opportunity to remind students and families of our commitment to student, family, and staff safety, as well as avenues available if you or your student has concerns you wish to share with us. Our school works closely in collaboration with law enforcement, District Safety and Security, and District administrators to ensure your concerns are taken seriously and are addressed promptly. We must be vigilant in the protection of our school community, and we value and appreciate our partnership with you. We can't do it alone.

If you or your student sees or hears something concerning, please say something. If at any time you or your student believes you have knowledge of any situation where danger is imminent, dial 911 immediately.  And please continue to encourage your student to share any concerns with a trusted staff member. If they aren’t comfortable sharing directly with staff, concerns can always be anonymously submitted using our Safe Schools Alert System:

Student Device Protection Plan

The Northshore School District provides each student with a district-issued technology device. When students/families assume responsibility for a district-issued device, they sign forms agreeing to accept financial responsibility for any device damage or loss. We know accidents and loss can happen. The Student Device Protection Plan provides NSD families an optional path to mitigate the financial liability of using a district device. 

PARTICIPATION COST: The standard payment to enroll in the NSD Student Device Protection Plan is $25 per year; free for students who have qualified for free or reduced-price meals and who have provided consent to share their status for fee waivers. No refunds will be given once enrolled in this program.

COVERAGE AND BENEFIT: This program covers the device (Chromebook, Macbook, or iPad) loaned to your student against accidental damage for the school year. This program does NOT cover damage resulting from misuse or neglectful loss of the device. We expect all students to properly use their device and to secure it when it is not being used. If the device is used improperly or is not secured while the student is not using it, families will be expected to pay the full cost of replacement or repair.
