HPMS Family Bulletin - 11/29/2024

As you may know, for the past several years, we have had staff members serving as flaggers to support the flow of traffic on Harbour Pointe Boulevard at arrival and dismissal and, more importantly, student safety in the crosswalk at that time. Due to a lack of enough trained staff to serve as flaggers, we are going to revert to a model of staff serving as crossing guards. This change will begin on Monday, December 2nd.

Starting that day, staff will be posted at the crosswalk to support students in activating the crosswalk lights, waiting for traffic to stop, and then crossing safely. Staff members in high-visibility gear will be posted on either side of Harbour Pointe Boulevard and will use the signs paddles to emphasize student crossing.

Please remember to not drop off students on Harbour Pointe Blvd. Drop off in the back area of the school or on 50th across from the school and the flagger will get your student across the road safely.

If you arrive BEFORE 7:35A and you wish to wait with your student…

During the morning drop-off, the “kiss-n-go” line should be moving.

HP Leadership is hosting our annual Will E. Melt Toy Drive. We are looking for new presents for children for the upcoming holiday season. Grab a tag off Will E.’s fence and purchase a new toy to help brighten a child's holiday!

All toys will be donated to the Everett Toys for Tots sponsored by the Marine Corps Reserve.

As you know from previous messaging via ParentSquare, HP counselors will be going into classrooms beginning next week to teach the Signs of Suicide curriculum to students across each grade level. SOS has been used by thousands of schools over the past few decades, including yearly lessons at Harbour Pointe for the better part of the past decade. Studies have shown that it effectively teaches students about depression and suicide while reducing the number of students’ self-reported suicide attempts. Our goal in teaching these lessons is that students will leave the lesson with a greater understanding of warning signs of depression/suicidality and a clear plan for how to involve adults to get help.

As the holiday season approaches, there are several community resources available to assist families with Thanksgiving meals, holiday baskets, and gifts for children. If your family is interested in learning more about these resources, please contact your school Counselor or Raylin Lucey, the Student Support Advocate. You can reach Raylin through the SSA Referral Form or by email at luceyrj@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

If your student is participating in clubs, sports, Band, Choir, or Orchestra, they must purchase a $15.00 ASB membership.

Please email our bookkeeper, Ms. Gish.

Please check if your students have fees and fines. There might be charges for lost/damaged books, club fees, or athletic uniforms that were not returned. Any fines and fees carryover from year to year. It’s best to clear these up now. Please click HERE or scan the QR code to check your student’s account.

Items to be delivered to a student during the school day may be placed on the appropriate grade-level shelf located in the vestibule for student pick-up at passing or lunchtime. Please make sure food items arrive in time for a student’s lunch; we cannot guarantee they will have time to eat it otherwise. Staff is not responsible for deliveries or messages unless there is an emergency. Flowers, balloons, and special food treats are not permitted at school due to disruption of learning.  

Thanks to the generosity of the PTO, we are able to maintain a stock of snacks for students who need extra nourishment during day. As the school year has gotten started, we have seen more and more students getting snacks. We’re especially seeing our sixth graders getting snacks in the afternoon, probably because their lunch time is so early in the day. If families are able, we encourage them to pack extra snacks for their students so that we can maintain the supply for students in need.

If your family needs assistance with food, clothing, or other basic needs, please reach out to Raylin Lucey, the Student Support Advocate at Harbour Pointe Middle School. You can contact him through the SSA Referral Form or by emailing luceyrj@mukilteo.wednet.edu. He is here to connect you with local resources that may be able to provide support.
