HP SPRING MUSICAL
Blue water with bubbles with yellow starfish
Hello HP families,
I am excited to announce that Harbour Pointe’s 2025 Spring Musical this year will be The Little Mermaid Jr.!

Auditions: Tuesday, January 28th from 3:00 – 5:00pm
Callbacks: Thursday, January 30th from 3:00- 5:00pm

Rehearsals will be Monday-Thursday from 3-5pm starting February 4th. Full rehearsal schedule is the audition form. Due to the Kamiak PAC being under renovation this year Mr. Hickox is working hard to lock in a performance venue, announcement and performance dates to come. If your child is cast, they will not be able to participate in Wrestling, Girls Basketball, or Track due to our rehearsal schedule.

Audition Form due January 24th: https://forms.gle/FivTofzDQqree3xr8

Questions? Reach out to Mr. Hickox (hickoxta@mukilteo.wednet.edu)

Show Synopsis:
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.

Counselors' corner with blue and navy arrows
Believe it or not, we’re almost halfway through our second trimester! This point of the trimester is the perfect time to check in with your student about their academic progress. Encourage them to reflect on their goals and hopes for this term—what’s going well, and where might there be room for improvement? Reviewing grades on Schoology and/or Family Access, assignment completion, and study habits can provide valuable insight on what your student needs to do to succeed this trimester. If adjustments are needed, work together to create a plan to stay on track and finish the trimester strong. Addressing concerns now helps avoid the last-minute scramble later. While your student is ultimately responsible for their grade, the things we do as adults play a huge role in setting them up to achieve to their highest ability, and parental support & guidance is crucial! As always, feel free to reach out to your student’s grade level counselor if you’d like support in guiding these conversations or ideas of how to set up a consistent academic routine for your student.

Absences
If your student is absent, it is important to excuse the absence by doing one of the following: 

  1. A written note from the parent/guardian for an excused absence must be received within two school days following a return to school. Administrators may request doctor’s verification for excessive absences.  
  2. A phone call from the parent or guardian if a student will be absent. Email HPAttendance@mukilteo.wednet.edu or call the 24-hour attendance line at 425-366-5105. When returning from an absence, a student should always get an “Admit to Class” pass from Student Services. Give this pass to your teacher. If the parent phoned in earlier, or if the student brings a signed excuse, the absence is excused. To avoid having the absence recorded as unexcused; students have one additional day after returning to school to bring a signed note from a parent or guardian. 
Pre-Arranged Absences
We would like to remind you that for vacation/travel absences, a Pre-Arranged Absence Form must be filled out and returned to Student Services at least one week prior to travel. If you know that your student will be absent, please ask them to get a form from the Student Services office. Your student will need to bring the form to each of their classes for teacher signatures, then collect a parent's signature before returning it to Student Services for administrator consideration. 
Early Pick-Up Procedure
Regular attendance is crucial for students' academic success. We encourage families not to schedule appointments during school hours, although we understand that it may be unavoidable at times. If you need to pick up your student early from school, we require some time to retrieve them from their class. Kindly notify us at least ONE DAY PRIOR
by calling (425) 366-5105, or emailing HPAttendance@mukilteo.wednet.edu with:
  • Your student's name
  • Date & time of student's pick up
  • Reason for leaving school early
Provided with sufficient advance notice for pick-up, we will have your student waiting for you at Student Services at the specified time, saving you from waiting.

(More information can be found in our handbook online.)
 
GOOD TO KNOW
HP Store QR Code
MSD Online Payment Portal
If your student is participating in clubs, sports, Band, Choir, or Orchestra, they must purchase a $15.00 ASB membership. If you purchased your PE clothes online, please see our Bookkeeper, located in the Great Hall. Yearbooks will be distributed at then end of the school year.

DO YOUR STUDENTS OWE FEES AND FINES?
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.

Activity Bus Info
  • Students must be a regular bus rider (live within the school bus boundaries)
  • There are two lines of Activity Buses (a NORTH bus and a SOUTH bus).
  • Students need to know their address to get on the correct bus.
  • There are limited stops on the route, so it may not be your child's regular stop but somewhat close in proximity.
  • Students may ask the bus drivers to find out which bus they should take and what stop they should get off.
  • This is NOT your student's regular bus route. Depending on when your student's stop is, they could arrive home after 5:00PM.
  • All Activity Buses leave at 4:10PM from the front of the school.

Deliveries
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.

Snacks
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.
