SUPPORTING YOUTH IN A DIGITAL WORLD

Mukilteo School District is proud to welcome Dr. Lucía Magis-Weinberg, a globally recognized expert in adolescent brain development, for two powerful virtual sessions this October: one in English and one in Spanish.

Thursday, October 30, 6 to 7 p.m. (Session in Spanish)
Spanish language event: Zoom link

Thursday, November 6, 6 to 7 p.m. (Session in English)
English language event: Zoom link

This session will give you the practical tools and confidence to set healthy limits, foster digital wellness, and guide your children to be responsible digital citizens. We will cover creating a family media plan, establishing clear rules, and managing screen time without constant battles.

Together, you will learn to mentor, rather than monitor, so your kids build a positive and safe relationship with technology.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS: SERVE ON A SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE

Mukilteo School District invites you to help shape important decisions about curriculum, budget, and student services by serving on a district standing committee. Interested in learning more or volunteering? Join us for a Zoom meeting on Monday, November 17, at 4 p.m. To receive the Zoom link, please RSVP by Wednesday, November 12.

Committee members are elected by attendees at the meeting and may serve on one committee per year. We would love to have you involved!

During this year’s meeting, the school district will be looking to fill these positions on standing committees:
 
  • BUDGET COMMITTEE: The committee reviews and provides input to the superintendent regarding board and districtwide initiatives and preliminary budget recommendations. The committee meets twice a month from late January through early May. There is one parent opening (two-year term).
  • RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT: The committee reviews proposals for research conducted in the district for approval and makes recommendations regarding the school district’s assessment program. The committee meets when research proposals are submitted and need to be reviewed. This is generally twice per year. There is one parent opening on the committee this year (two-year term).
  • STUDENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The committee reviews and recommends revisions to the Exceptional Misconduct portion of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. It meets once a year, usually in May. There are two openings this year (two-year terms).
  • INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE: The committee reviews and decides upon curriculum materials recommendations by district and school teams, ensuring all instructional resources align with district standards, state regulations, and reflect community values. The Instructional Materials Committee makes recommendations to the school board for adoption. The committee has meetings in the afternoon, two or three times a year, and committee members serve three-year terms. There are three parent/family positions open this year.
  • SPECIAL PROGRAMS: The committee's purpose is to foster communication and learn about the district’s multilingual education, intervention, highly capable, and special education programs, as well as provide input on annual applications and program evaluation efforts. The committee meets twice a year, usually in the late afternoon or evening. There are two parent/family member openings (two-year terms) for parents who have students receiving one of the following services: Title 1, Highly Capable Program.

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.
