COVID-19 Family Information

Snoqualmie Valley School District remains committed to providing our students and staff the safest learning environments possible. We partner with the Washington State Department of Health and King County to ensure we follow the appropriate protocols and guidelines.

Below are the public health recommendations to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

• Students and staff who show symptoms of COVID-19 should stay home and should get tested for COVID-19.

• Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 should remain home for a full 5 days with day 0 being the first day of symptoms or for those without symptoms, day 0 is the day of the positive viral test.

• Students and staff can return to activities, including school, on day 6 if their symptoms have improved and no fever (>100.4F) for the past 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications. It is recommended to wear a mask for an additional 5 days (day 6 through day 10) when outside of the home.  Testing is not required for returning to school.

• Students and staff exposed to COVID-19 should monitor symptoms, get tested and consider wearing a mask at school. 

• In the event of outbreaks in school, the district works directly with King County Public health and follows their response recommendations.

To reduce the spread of COVID-19 Snoqualmie Valley School District will continue to offer free COVID-19 testing take-home kits for staff and students at their schools as supplies are available. You are encouraged to test as needed at home if you have had a possible exposure. 

COVID-19 vaccinations remain the best protection against hospitalization and severe disease. The COVID-19 vaccine is now available for children 6 months and older. Booster doses are also available for children 5 years and older. You are encouraged to vaccinate your children if they are eligible, in consultation with your healthcare provider.
