SPRING/SUMMER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

Greetings Kamiak Parents and/or Guardians of Student-Athletes!

The WIAA rules allow for our coaches to work directly with our incoming and returning student-athletes during the Spring/Summer time period: June 2nd-July 31st

Coaches that will be offering optional school and booster sponsored activities will be sending out information soon specific to their programs, but all incoming and current Kamiak student-athletes must have their parent fill out the below Google form to be cleared into the Spring/Summer season for practices, camps, open gyms, contests, open conditioning, etc.

Here is the Spring/Summer Athletic-Activity parent permission form link:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrrwhYJXa_UYgBEqBeYs54ttl0_QZAhGwtk43En98Gc_trAQ/viewform?usp=dialog

We will also post the link on our Athletic Website here:

https://ka.mukilteoschools.org/kamiakathletics#springsummer

Our Athletic website is also a great place to find out more about our Athletic programs, coaches contact information, and tryout information as we get closer to the next school year.

Attaches is also some additional information and important dates that we’ll be sharing with our incoming 9th graders during our Fall Sport Coaches presentations scheduled this month at OV, HP, and EX, but it is also helpful for all of our returning student-athletes and families.

We’re excited about the important work that will happen this Spring and Summer that will launch us into a great 25-26 school year for Kamiak Athletics.

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.

Absences

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

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.
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.

A sign reads 'Notice Fragrance Free Zone' with a red circle and slash through a perfume bottle.

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.

A yellow school bus is parked in a lot with a blue sky in the background.

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.
