February 18th Family Update

Family Update – February 18th

Dear Daniel Bagley Families,

It’s hard to believe that when we return from mid-winter break, we’ll be heading into the month of March. After Governor Inslee’s COVID 19 press update yesterday, we know our ability to continue to adapt and change with the safety protocols will continue to be a focus for our community in the coming weeks. While we may not know all of the specifics yet, what we do know is that we have students, staff and families who are flexible, caring and working together to keep everyone safe.

2022-23 Superintendent Procedures for Student Assignment

There are changes to our 2022-23 Superintendent Procedures for Student Assignment, policy 3130SP impacting our move rules that you should know about.

Revisions were voted on and approved by the school board February 9, 2022.

These changes are as follows:

• Students who move out of their school’s attendance area may now remain at the current school to the highest grade offered.
• Assignment will not change upon processing change of address form unless families request to be reassigned to their new boundary school for the following school year.
• Also, resident students who move out of the district may remain at the current school to the highest grade offered (as long a Choice Transfer Request form is submitted prior to the start of the following school year).

Repeats from Last Week

Safety Updates from Nurse Beck:

• Updated travel guidelines: COVID travel guidelines and restrictions may vary by region and may change abruptly. Families are encouraged to stay up to date on regulations and best practices by checking the CDC website frequently and right before traveling.

• Accepting COVID-19 Home Tests – Beginning on February 7, 2022, Seattle Public Schools will begin accepting rapid home antigen tests for a return to school. This change applies to unvaccinated students or staff that are identified as a close contact and are required to quarantine, students or staff that have two or more symptoms, or students and staff that are not close contacts but have COVID symptoms.

• COVID protocol update– The district is now aligning with DOH on quarantine guidance of 5 days.

• Mask Guidance–CDC says N95 masks offer far better protection than cloth masks against omicron variant

• Close the Loop– If your child is out due to illness please be sure to update us on your child’s status OR share negative COVID test results (even if testing is done at Bagley) BEFORE sending them back to school by emailing bagley.attendance@seattleschools.org

Honoring MLK day and looking forward to BLM coming up in February

Classes will be engaged in learning together next week; we will also share and celebrate together as a whole school at our community assembly at the end of the month on 1/28.
