HPMS FALL FUNDRAISER

🎉 We Did It—Thank You, Families! 🎉

We are beyond excited to share the results of our fall fundraiser: thanks to your incredible support, we raised a whopping $68,311, more than double our original goal of $30,000!

Your generosity and enthusiasm have been nothing short of inspiring. Every dollar raised goes directly toward enriching our students' experiences through music, sports, clubs, and after-school programs—the heartbeat of our school community.

  • Water Balloons at Mr. Coram – For those who hit the $1,000 mark, get ready for splashy fun!
  • Donuts for the Top-Selling Class – Sweet treats for the class that led the charge!
  • Principal for the Day – One lucky student will hand over their tests and homework to Mr. Coram!
  • Prize Wheel – A spin of the wheel means a chance to win fun surprises and bonus rewards!
 
💛 Thank You for Making This Possible
This fundraiser was more than just a financial success—it was a celebration of community, teamwork, and the power of coming together for a shared goal. We can’t wait to see the impact of your contributions throughout the year.

From all of us at Harbour Pointe Middle School, thank you for your continued support. You’ve helped us build something truly special.

Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 9:55 A.M. in the Harbour Pointe Gym

Join us in honoring our veterans at the upcoming Veterans Day Assembly! Hosted by the National Junior Honor Society, this special event will feature a presentation by Senior Vice Commander Carl Kurfess from Edmonds VFW Post 8870, along with inspiring performances by our Harbour Pointe Choir and Band.

Community members and HP families are warmly welcome!

Let’s come together to show our gratitude and respect for those who have served.

This month, Mr. Noble will be teaching bullying prevention lessons in 6th grade classrooms. Students are learning how to recognize the difference between normal peer conflict and bullying, strategies for handling tough situations, and how to speak up for themselves or others.

As families, you play a big role in reinforcing these lessons at home. A few ways you can help:
  • Start the conversation: Ask your child what they learned about bullying prevention and how they can apply it at school. Ask them what the S.T.O.P acronym means.
  • Emphasize kindness and respect: Encourage your student to treat peers the way they want to be treated—even when it’s hard.
  • Model problem-solving: Show your child how you handle disagreements calmly and respectfully.
  • Remind them they’re not alone: Let your child know it’s always okay to talk to a trusted adult—at school or at home—if they see or experience bullying. If Students don’t report it, we won’t know it is happening.

Working together, we can help make our school a safe and supportive place for all students.

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 is one Activity Bus.
  • Students need to know their address.
  • There are limited stops on the route, so it may not be your child's regular stop but somewhat close in proximity, although they may have to walk a bit more to their home.
  • 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.
  • The Activity Bus will 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.
