We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our office manager, Jamie Wright. You can reach her at WrightJL@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

All of our students will receive a student planner on the first day of school. If a student loses their planner, the replacement cost is $4.00.

Students should use their planners to keep track of homework, assignment due dates, tests and other important items.

Students should also review the student handbook section at the beginning of the handbook. This section of the planner goes over all of the school rules and important info about OV.

All OV students will be dismissed at noon on Wednesday. Free Grab 'n Go lunches will be available at dismissal.

Due to early dismissal and the upcoming holiday, there will be no after-school clubs on Wednesday, including Elect to Learn and Learning Labs. The activity bus will also not be running that day. (Athletes—please check with your coaches to confirm whether practice will be held.)

As many of you may have heard, SNAP benefits are stalled this month, and this may impact some of the families in our community. To help provide additional support, we are launching a schoolwide food drive to stock our Packs for Kids program (coordinated by Jim Tinsley). Our goal is to collect quick and easy dinner items that students can prepare at home.

We are asking for shelf stable, kid-friendly foods that don’t require extra ingredients like milk, butter or eggs. “Heat and eat” or “just add water” items are especially helpful.

Donations can be sent to school with your student or dropped off in the main office. Any contribution—big or small—helps support a family in our community.

Thank you for your continued care and generosity. Our Pirate community truly takes care of one another!

Please join us for the second annual Mukilteo School District Winter Food Drive, benefiting district students and families. District food drive runs from November 19 - December 5.

Drop off your non-perishable food items (see attached flyer for suggested items) to one of these three locations:

OV's Main Office (mark it "MSD Food Drive")

Mondays - Thursdays from 7:30am-4pm

9600 Sharon Drive, Everett (House 3)

Mondays - Thursdays from 1pm-4pm

Mukilteo School District Office

We appreciate your help and support!

Some families are worried because help from SNAP (food benefits) has been impacted by the recent government shutdown. If your family needs extra food support, talk to your school counselor or Student Support Advocate—they can help assist you find additional resources.

If you or your family need more help, see or call our Student Support Advocate, Patty Nogueda, in the main office. She can be reached at 425-366-5224.
