  • Student privacy rights form

    Schools and school districts have the authority to share “directory information” about students to certain people or institutions, such as news media or colleges, unless the parent or guardian opts out of sharing that information. Directory information is defined as a student’s first and last name; photographic and electronic images; dates of school attendance; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams; degrees, honors, and awards received; and most recent school attended. (Mukilteo School District does not release directory information for commercial purposes.) School districts also provide a list of high school student names to military recruiters and institutions of higher education. Parents and guardians have the right to tell the school district and its schools to keep private any directory information about their student. This form is optional. Complete this form by October 1, ONLY if you DO NOT want directory information released about your child. If you have more than one student, complete a form for each student to opt out. Please note: You must be logged into ParentSquare to complete this electronic form. You can also access fillable pdf versions of this form and their translations on the  district website under the Students and Families tab , or request a paper copy from your student's school office.  You can learn more about your student's privacy rights on the district website in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook's Legal Notices section .  [Thursday, Sep 14 at 10:25 AM] We discovered that the student privacy rights opt-out form sent last night required a response to both sections, which may not have accurately represented family preferences. The form has been updated for more flexible choices. If you already filled out the form and are satisfied with your responses, there is no need to complete the form again. However, if you would like to change your choices through the revised form, please complete it again and we'll overwrite your previous responses. Thank you for your understanding as we try new ways of collecting this information.

  • Sad news about a Kamiak High School student

    Dear families, You may have heard or seen on the news that a Kamiak High School student was injured this morning in a drive-by shooting on Hardeson Road. We are sad to share that the student died this afternoon. We are without words about this tragic, senseless loss of a young life. We extend our deepest sympathies to the family, and to all who knew and loved them. At this time, we are not yet able release the student’s name. On Monday principals at the schools the student attended will be working with their staffs and supporting each other and our students. It’s important to note that local law enforcement investigators believe the shooting was targeted, and that there is no threat to Kamiak or any other area schools. News like this can be upsetting to students whether they knew the student or not. Impacted schools will have counseling resources available for students who need extra support as they return to school next week, and all schools have counseling resources that any student can access. Please contact your school principal or office if you would like them to know of any additional support your child might need. Families can help by listening if a student wants to talk about how they’re feeling. We’ve provided some resources below that might help in those conversations.  Please give your loved ones a few extra hugs this weekend.  Resources: The Do’s and Don’ts of Talking with a Child About Death from PsychologyToday.com Helping Your Child Deal with Death from KidsHealth.org

  • Your response helps your school determine future fun...

    Dear families:   Your child’s school participates in a federal program available to select schools as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called  Community Eligibility Provision  (CEP). This means that all students attending this school are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at no charge throughout the school year, regardless of family or household income. However, some of the education programs the district provides are funded from state dollars that require our school to collect household information for all students attending CEP schools.   To collect the information, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has developed the Family Income Survey. The Family Income Survey is used to capture information and ensure the district/school receives all of the funding it is entitled to for other state funded education programs.   If you haven’t already done so , please complete the form attached to this ParentSquare post by September 30, if possible. Your participation is essential in order for us to provide OSPI with the information they need and ensure the will continue to receive critical state funding for educational programs. If you'd prefer a paper form, please request one from your school office.   Thank you for your help in gathering this important information. If you have any questions, please contact Nutrition Services at 425-356-1212.
