STATE TESTING IS ALMOST UPON US!

As we come into the final months of the 2024-2025 school year, state testing is fast approaching. Across the state, 6th-8th graders will be taking the English Language Arts and Mathematics Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA). In addition to these two tests, 8th graders will also take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS). Students will be taking the tests over several days in their subject area classes. This means if your student is taking the Math SBA and has 3rd period Math, they will test in their 3rd period class with their usual teacher. First up will be the 8th grade WCAS, May 7th and 8th. The English SBA for all grades will be administered from May 13th-16th and the Math SBA for all grades will be administered the following week from May 21st-22nd.

A few things you can do to support your student’s success from home:
  • Ensure your student arrives at school on time.
  • Avoid scheduling appointments during days/times your student will be testing.
  • Have your student eat a healthy breakfast at home or school.
  • If your child has headphones they can bring, remind them to pack them.
  • Ensure your child gets a good night of sleep.
  • Have your student plug their computer in the night before to make sure it’s fully charged.
  • Encourage them to do their best!

If you want more information regarding opting out of state testing, please contact Mr. Coram via email at CoramSC@mukilteo.wednet.edu.
 

WEB - WHERE EVERYBODY BELONGS

ATTENTION 6TH AND 8TH WEB LEADERS!

Join us for a movie night featuring "ZOOTOPIA" where eighth grade WEB Leaders and sixth graders will come together for a fun evening. Students can relax in the bleachers or bring along a cozy blanket and pillow and sit on the floor. Delicious pizza and popcorn will be served throughout the event, which runs from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to be part of the WEB fun!

MOVING THIS SUMMER???

Is your family moving into a different school district? Moving out of state? Are you switching your student from in-person to online school?

Please let our registrar, Miss Howard, know of any current or future school changes so she can send your student’s academic records to their new school.

Below is an important message from Kamiak counselors that was shared with your students on Schoology this week:

“The 2025-2026 schedule request change window opens April 29th and goes until May 9th. Students should log on to their Qmlativ account on April 28th to review their requests. Current 8th graders can make changes via email/Schoology messages to their Kamiak Counselor (see the website for contact information). Please note that only emails/Schoology messages from the student (not the student’s parent/guardian) will be processed.”

Mr. Noble will remind your student(s) when the window officially opens, but double check with your student this weekend that the courses they requested are the ones they want and encourage them to reach out to their counselor when the window opens to make changes if not!

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

Scent Awareness

Scented products can trigger serious health reactions in people with asthma, bronchitis, migraines, allergies or chemical sensitivities. Please remind your students to maintain a healthy environment for everyone by not spraying scented products while at school.

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.
