Snohomish School District Board of Directors

School Board DirectorsSchool board meetings are generally held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, with some exceptions for holidays and breaks. Board meetings are held at the Resource and Service Center at 1601 Avenue D in Snohomish unless otherwise noted. Most meetings begin at 6 p.m.

From the Superintendent

Dear Families and Community Members:

Welcome to the 2018–2019 school year! This is my third

year in Snohomish, and I am thrilled to get to know more

staff, students, parents and members of our community.

We are a strong learning community where all of us

come together to ensure all of our students have the best

opportunities for success.

The annual calendar serves as a parent/community

handbook, as well as a guide to the many events and

activities in our classrooms, schools and district. Use

this calendar as you plan times to join us throughout the

year. Please watch for other communications and stay in

close contact with your school. If you have any questions

not answered within this publication, please call our

Communications Office at 360-563-7263 or my office at

360-563-7280.

It is an honor to serve our community through the

education of all students. It is a privilege and responsibility

that each of us in Snohomish does not take lightly. All staff

work to build relationships with all students so they can

have the best opportunities for success.

I look forward to working together with you throughout

the year. Let's make it a great one!

Thanks,

Dr. Kent Kultgen

Superintendent

Partner with us for healthy schoolsYou can help prevent the spread of illness by keeping a sick child at home. A temperature of 100.4F (38C) or higher suggests infectious illness. Your child should be fever-free for 24 hours without medicine before returning to school. Diarrhea and/or vomiting, red eyes or eye drainage, or a rash with fever may also indicate infectious illness. Please contact your medical provider and keep your student home until (s)he has received clearance to return to school. Also consider whether your child is rested and alert enough to learn, pay attention in class, and participate in all school activities.

What’s in this publication?The 2018–2019 district calendar includes important dates for many school district activities, as well as information we must legally provide and information we feel will be important to you. Please note that the events in this calendar are accurate as of August 2018, but may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Our website and school newsletters are an excellent way for parents to stay informed of any changes or newly-added events.

Skyward/Family AccessSkyward/Family Access is a web portal where students and parents/guardians can review student progress from home, office or mobile device.

With Skyward/Family Access, students and parents/guardians have access to a variety of student information, such as attendance, bus routes/schedules, grades, assignments, food service balance and student and family demographics. Student absence notifications can also be entered here. Not all Skyward/Family Access features are available at all schools.

Parents/guardians may pick-up user names and passwords at their child's school during school hours. Photo identification is required.

Breakfast and lunch programOur district and our partner, Chartwells, work hard to provide students and staff with good-tasting, nutritious meals. All district schools serve lunch and breakfast. Free and reduced-price meals are available to all students who qualify. If you have questions about the free and reduced meal program, please call 360-563-7314. Any other questions may be directed to our Food Service office at 360-563-7298.

A meal account is automatically set up for every Snohomish student. Parents/guardians can add funds to meal accounts by sending cash or a check to school with their child or by paying online through our online payment system. Parents/guardians may pre-pay for meals so that students do not need to carry money to school each day. Student purchases, transactions and food service balances are the financial responsibility of parents and/or guardians. All schools use an electronic point-of-sale system that keeps a running balance. This can be used for breakfast, lunch and a la carte purchases.

How to register for school• Elementary school: Students entering kindergarten

or first grade must be 5 or 6 years old on or before August 31. All students registering for kindergarten will need their birth certificate and immunization record (see page 40 for immunization requirements). Kindergarten registration begins in March 2018.

• Secondary school: All students registering for secondary schools need their immunization record and withdrawal sheet or grade report from their previous school. A birth certificate is requested.

School MessengerOur district uses the School Messenger automated system as a tool for communication with our parents, students, families and staff. School Messenger works with the district’s student-data system (Skyward/Family Access) to notify families and staff through phone and/or email of emergencies, inclement weather situations, attendance issues, underfunded student lunch accounts and other events/activities. The overall goal of using this service is for parents families to receive important information about Snohomish schools—especially information that affects their children—in a timely manner. As long as we have a primary phone number and/or email on record for a student, the student’s family should automatically receive these messages when they are sent out.

For more information, see the district website at www.sno.wednet.edu.

Child Find NoticeThe Special Services Office seeks to identify any students, age birth to 21, who may have disabling conditions. Anyone may make referrals. Screening is free and appointments are required. Please contact the district office at 360-563-7310 to request a screening.

Release of student directory informationProcedure number 3231, Student Records, states that the district may publicly release directory information without consent. In instances where directory information is disclosed, such disclosure does not reflect the district’s approval or endorsement of the activities or viewpoints of the recipient of such information. This directory information may include the student’s name, address (physical and e-mail), phone number (home and cell), date and place of birth, photograph, dates of attendance, participation in officially recognized sports and activities, height and weight of members of athletic teams, diplomas and awards, and most recent previous school attended.

Those who do not want such information released should contact the district’s Communications Department at [email protected] or 360-563-7263. Parents/students may also notify their school office in writing as soon as possible each new school year.

This information will be not be released for commercial purposes.

Also, federal law requires the district to provide military recruiters with names, addresses and telephone numbers of secondary students upon request unless parents have advised the district in writing that they do not want their student’s information released.

Student discipline rulesRules and policies regarding student conduct, discipline and rights are posted on our website at www.sno.wednet.edu in the Student-Parent Handbook. Hard copies are available upon request from all school offices.

Do you want to receive district and school newsletters?Our district uses an electronic mailing list to send our district and school newsletters and communications. If you would like to subscribe, please visit our district website at www.sno.wednet.edu/subscribe. In the quick links, you will also see a link to subscribe to newsletters.

If you are already a subscriber, don’t forget to change your preferences if your e-mail address changes or if you would like to change which schools you receive communications about.

Student records (FERPA)The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. The parent or eligible student has a right to:

• Inspect and review the student’s education records;

• Request amendment of the student’s education records that they believe to be inaccurate or misleading (see Board Policy and Procedure 3231 and 3231P);

• Consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA and its regulations authorize disclosure without consent;

• Obtain a copy of the policy in the parent’s primary language. A copy of the full policy is available upon request from Shawn Stevenson, Executive Director of Student Services, at the Snohomish School District Resource and Service Center, 1601 Avenue D, Snohomish, WA 98290.

School closure and late start informationWhen a decision is made to close school or start late, calls are placed to families through School Messenger (see page 31). Local radio and television stations also announce school closure or late start information. If Snohomish is not mentioned during the newscast, you will know our schools are open and buses are operating on or near the

Chloee Henley ~ Snohomish High School

normal schedule. Because safety is the determining

factor, buses may run behind schedule when fog, ice or

snow conditions exist. Parents are urged to make sure

their children are adequately clothed so waiting in cold

weather will not be uncomfortable.

Important: If school has been closed for the day,

no after-school meetings or practices will be held. All

evening meetings/functions scheduled to take place in

district facilities will also be canceled.

Inclement weather / late startIn the event of inclement weather/late start, all schools will start two hours late and dismiss at their regular times unless otherwise announced. Additional changes during late start include:

• No morning or afternoon preschool, ELL extended day, or ECEAP

• No out-of-district transportation

• No morning skills center

• No elementary band

• No secondary zero-hour classes

Limited transportationWhen weather conditions dictate that certain roads are not safely passable, the district will announce that it is providing “limited transportation.” Your child’s bus driver will let students know which roads will be impacted on his/her route, and each school office has a list of the affected roads/areas within their boundaries. These roads are also listed on the district website. Once limited transportation has been announced for the day, it will remain in effect for both the morning and afternoon routes, even if roads have cleared during the day.

training extends from reviewing the riders’ rules to rehearsing emergency exit procedures. Emergency exit drills are practiced periodically during the year; the bus driver will instruct students on the use of emergency exits and will supervise students as they practice their use.

We have an outstanding record for keeping our buses and other vehicles safe and well maintained. Our vehicle maintenance crew has received commendations from the Washington State Patrol and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for safety inspections.

Bus routesOur Transportation Office is responsible for developing student bus routes and schedules. For the most up-to-date information on bus schedules and routes:

• Visit our district website at www.sno.wednet.edu• Log onto your student’s Skyward/Family Access

account. • Use our eLink Versatrans online tool• Call 360-563-3525

Posted bus routes and pick-up and drop-off times are approximate. Please remember that traffic, weather and other unforeseen circumstances may cause some routes to be early or delayed. It is recommended that parents and students arrive at their bus stops at least five minutes prior to the published times.

It is our district’s practice that kindergarteners will not be let off the bus unless the student’s parent (or designated adult) is at the bus stop at the time of student drop-off. Kindergarteners whose parent is not at the bus stop will be returned to the student’s elementary school where the parent (or emergency contact) will be called for student pick-up.

School bus safetyFamilies and schools share the responsibility for providing a safe environment for students while they are riding district buses and during times of emergency school closures. Please encourage your student(s) to be cooperative in observing the bus safety rules.

Students need to arrive at their bus stops five minutes prior to the published time. Students on buses are expected to follow behavior rules corresponding to classroom conduct regulations. They must sit properly in their seats, refrain from throwing objects, keep their hands to themselves, wear seatbelts, be courteous to

others, and obey the bus drivers at all times. Drivers will give bus conduct reports to students who do not follow bus rules, and administrators have the authority to take appropriate disciplinary action, including suspending a student from riding the bus.

Snohomish bus drivers meet all school bus driver certification and CDL requirements, and are well-trained in the use of their bus and emergency equipment. All buses are equipped with two-way radios, most have sanders, and all can use chains when necessary. In addition, buses have video cameras. Student safety

Early Childhood Education Assistance Program (ECEAP)Children 3 and 4 years of age whose parents meet family income guidelines are eligible for family-centered preschool enrichment programs located at Central Primary Center. ECEAP is state-funded and is provided at no cost to the family. ECEAP students and their families are also provided access to a variety of health and social services. The program promotes physical, social, intellectual and emotional growth and well-being of children from limited-income families. For further program or registration information, please call 360-563-4641.

Title I/LAPTitle I is the largest federal aid program for our nation’s schools. The Learning Assistance Program (LAP) is a state-funded program. The purpose of Title I and LAP is to provide opportunities and services to students who are at risk of not meeting our state’s performance standards. Title I provides supplemental support in reading, writing and/or mathematics to identified students. Individual schools determine the grade levels and specific subject areas to be served. Title I and LAP programs are located in most of our elementary schools. Parents have the right to request information on the professional qualifications of their student’s classroom teachers. For more information, contact Teaching & Learning Services at 360-563-7257.

Operation School BellOperation School Bell, sponsored by the Assistance League of Everett, provides clothes to any needy K – 9th grade child enrolled in Snohomish County schools. Permission for this service must be granted to school personnel by a parent/guardian.If you need this service or know of someone who does, please contact the child’s school office. A clothing list with the need indicated by the parent/guardian must accompany the child to Operation School Bell.

Asbestos management programIn 1986, the district was required to adhere to the

Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA).

Since then, we have continued to inspect any known

asbestos every six months, and our custodial/

maintenance staff members receive annual training.

Additionally, every three years our facilities are re-

inspected by an accredited inspector. AHERA manuals

are available at sites where asbestos remains.

Student insuranceParents/guardians are responsible for

providing accident and health insurance

coverage for their

student(s). Primary or supplemental

coverage is available on a voluntary

basis through Myers-Stevens and Toohey.

Enrollment forms are available in English

and Spanish at your school’s office. Students

participating in interscholastic athletics who

do not have adequate personal coverage are

strongly encouraged to purchase additional

coverage.

Student appointmentsParents and students are encouraged to make

medical and dental appointments for non-school

hours. When an early dismissal must be made, a note

should be presented at the attendance office before

school. Elementary parents should come to the office to

pick up their child.

Student safetyFirearms and other dangerous weapons (or facsimiles) are not allowed on school property. In accordance with state law, policy states that students found in possession of a firearm on Snohomish School District property will be expelled from school for not less than one year. School officials will notify the student’s parent/guardian and the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Also in compliance with state requirements, our properties are alcohol, drug, and tobacco-free. This policy applies to students, staff and community members. Policy 3240 covers all definitions and sanctions; it is available on our website at www.sno.wednet.edu, at all schools and at the Resource and Service Center.

Attendance policiesGood attendance at school is very important, and the Snohomish School District encourages all students to be in school every day, except in cases when they are ill or have a personal emergency. In accordance with state law (known as the ‘Becca Bill’), our district has policies which specifically define acceptable absences and the procedures that principals will follow regarding student absences. Please see the School Attendance form at the back of this calendar/handbook for additional information.

A student whose absenteeism exceeds what is acceptable within the guidelines of the policy will lose academic credit. Your child’s school will advise you of the district’s attendance policy.

Parents should contact their child’s school when he or she will not be in school. After an absence, students should bring a written and signed excuse to the office or teacher when returning to school. Students who will be absent from school for an extended period of time for any reason should make arrangements with their teacher(s) in advance.

Health servicesSince the health status of a student bears a direct relationship to the student’s ability to benefit from any educational experience, the district is interested in knowing any health problems the student may have. It is important that this information be provided when the school year begins. Our district’s health services include vision screening and the development of individual health plans for students with life-threatening conditions or other health concerns that may impact your child while at school.

Life-threatening health conditionsState law requires that when there is a student with a known life-threatening condition, schools must be prepared for a life-threatening event on the day the student starts school.

If your student has severe allergies/anaphylaxis, diabetes, or asthma, (s)he may be affected by a state law that requires a health care plan be implemented before (s)he attends the first day of school. If your student has been prescribed an Epi-pen or other medication for allergies, requires blood sugar testing and/or insulin, or requires medication for asthma, please contact the building nurse to write your student’s health care plan. Not all elementary schools have a full-time nurse. Elementary students requiring nursing supervision may be asked to attend an elementary school staffed with a full-time nurse.

Student emergenciesIn case of serious injury or illness at school, we will call the phone number listed as primary first. If we cannot reach a parent at that number, we will call the next person listed on the student’s emergency information. If there is no response at this number, the child will be taken to the hospital. Please fill out the emergency enrollment form completely and accurately. If there is a change of address or phone number at any time during the school year, please inform the school promptly.

Medication at schoolWashington state law allows school employees to administer oral medication and to administer epinephrine by injection for a life-threatening condition when certain requirements have been met. Please note that non-medically trained personnel may administer medication to your child. If your child requires eye, ear, nose drops or topical medication, please check with the registered nurse at the school to see if that need can be accommodated.

When your child needs to take medication during school hours, the medication must be brought to the school in the original pharmacy container. The label should state the child’s name, date of prescription, name of physician, name of drug, route of administration and when to take it.

We must have a written, unexpired request from the parent/legal guardian along with a written, unexpired prescription from a licensed professional to administer the medication; these must be accompanied with instructions. The medication and necessary paperwork should be reviewed by the school nurse. “Medication” means all drugs, whether prescription or over-the-counter.

Medication forms must also be completed for all medication students will have in their possession. This includes medications needed for field trips and all after-school activities, including athletic and non-athletic extra-curricular activities. Medication forms are available at your school or you can download them from the district website at www.sno.wednet.edu.

ImmunizationsThe amended School Immunization Law requires that a completed Certificate of Immunization form be present at school on or before your child’s first day of attendance. The Certificate of Immunization form (CIS) must show proof of full immunization or initiation of a schedule of immunization. Parents electing to exempt their child from immunizations must complete a Certificate of Exemption (COE). Effective July 22, 2011, the COE must include the signature of a licensed health care provider. If a parent completes the COE and an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease for which the child is exempt occurs, the child may be excluded from school for the duration of the outbreak by order of the Public Health Officer. You can download the CIS and COE forms on the district website, or get a copy from your health care provider’s office or the health department.

Integrated Pest ManagementThe Snohomish School District uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) modeled after Environmental Protection Agency recommended guidelines for the control of structural and landscape pests. IPM coordinates the use of non-chemical methods along with all available pest control methods. These include pruning, using disease resistant plants, and the judicious use of chemicals that are deemed the least hazardous to human health and the least damaging to the environment. When chemicals are applied, they are applied by either a commercial applicator or a licensed district employee. Chemicals are also used at our high schools as a part of the horticulture program, and they follow the same guidelines as outlined in our IPM.

A notice will be posted in the school’s main office 48 hours prior to the application of any biologic or chemical pesticide. It will provide the reason for application and the name of the product to be used. For individual pre-notification, please call your child’s school and ask to be placed on the pesticide pre-notification list Notification procedures do not apply to emergency applications to school facilities for the control of any pests that pose immediate human health or safety threats (e.g. to control stinging insects).

Title IX, anti-discrimination statementThe Snohomish School District does not discriminate in any programs or activities on the basis of sex, race, creed, religion, color, national origin, age, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, disability, or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups.

The following employees have been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination:

Education Rights of Homeless Children and Youth(McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act)

Our schools provide equal and comparable access to all students regardless of their home living situation.

Who is considered eligible for assistance?Any child or youth who lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence is considered homeless. This includes those who are temporarily sharing housing with others due to loss of housing, living in hotels, camping grounds, emergency shelters, cars, bus/train stations or other similar settings.

McKinney-Vento eligible children and youth have specific rights that include:

• Attend either the local school or the school of origin; whichever is in the students’ best interest.

• Maintain enrollment in the current school for the remainder of the school year.

• Enroll in school immediately.

• Assistance with transportation, if needed.

If you have a student/child who may qualify for McKinney-Vento services, please complete the Student Housing Questionnaire attached to this calendar and return it to your child’s school. If you have further questions, please contact the Homeless Liaison at 360-563-7314.

This facility has everything aquatic under one roof – swim lessons, recreational swim, surfing, diving, water play, competitive swim and water fitness classes. We are also the home of the Glacier Peak High School and Snohomish High School boys’ and girls’ swim and dive teams.

The 52,000-square-foot Snohomish Aquatic Center is located at 516 Maple Avenue in Snohomish. The facility’s competition pool has its own natatorium to provide functional and acoustic separation from the recreation pool. The competition pool (6,163 square feet) and recreation pool (5,091 square feet) function independently of the activities that occur in the other areas.

School attendance is required by state law.• State law requires children from age 8 to 17 to attend school.

• Children that are 6- or 7-years-old, who are enrolled in school, must also attend school.

• Youth who are 16 or older may be excused from attending school if they meet certain requirements per state law (RCW 28A.225.010).

• If your child is going to be absent, please contact the school office.

School’s duties upon a student’s absences:• If your child has two unexcused absences in one month, state

law (RCW 28A.225.020) requires we schedule a conference with you and your child.

• In elementary school after five excused absences in any month, or ten or more excused absences in the school year, the school district is required to contact you to schedule a conference. A conference is not required if your child has provided a doctor’s note, or pre-arranged the absence in writing, and plans are in place so your child does not fall behind academically.

• If your child has seven unexcused absences in any month or ten unexcused absences within the school year, we are required to file a petition with the juvenile court, alleging a violation of RCW 28A.225.010, the mandatory attendance laws. You and your child may need to appear in juvenile court.

Did you know? • Attending school on-time, all day, every day will give your

child the best chance of graduating from high school.

• Starting in kindergarten, missing on average just two days a month, whether excused or unexcused, makes it more likely that your child will not meet academic standards in math and reading by third grade.

• By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.

• Absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully or facing some other potentially serious difficulty.

• By 9th grade, regular attendance is a better predictor of high school graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.

What you can do:• Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick, such

as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or a contagious rash.

• Avoid appointments and travel when school is in session.

• Keep track of your child’s attendance. Missing more than nine days, excused or unexcused, could put your child at risk of falling behind.

• Set a regular bedtime and morning routine as well as finishing homework and packing backpacks the night before.

• Have a back-up plan in place with family members, neighbors, or other parents for getting your child to school in case something comes up.

If you are struggling to get your child to school for any reason, we are here to support you and work with you towards possible solutions. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office to schedule an appointment to discuss your child’s attendance.

Asistencia a la escuelael formulario

1601 Avenue D, Snohomish, WA 98290-1799360-563-7300 Fax 360-563-7279

La ley estatal requiere la asistencia a la escuela.• La ley estatal requiere que los niños de las edades de 8 a 17

asistan a la escuela.

• Los niños que tienen o 6 o 7 años, que están inscritos en una escuela, también tienen que asistir a la escuela.

• Los jóvenes que tienen 16 o más pueden estar disculpados de asistir a la escuela si cumplen con ciertos requisitos según la ley estatal (RCW 28A.225.010).

• Si su hijo va a estar ausente, favor de ponerse en contacto con la oficina de la escuela.

Los deberes de la escuela cuando está ausente un estudiante:• Si su hijo/a tiene dos ausencias sin excusa en un mes, la

ley estatal (RCW 28A.225.020) requiere que fijemos una conferencia con usted y su hijo/a.

• En la escuela primaria después de cinco ausencias con excusa en un mes, o diez o más ausencias con excusa en el año escolar, se requiere que el distrito escolar se ponga en contacto con usted para fijar una conferencia. No se requiere una conferencia si su hijo/a ha surtido un recado del doctor, o arreglado de antemano la ausencia por escrito, y se han hecho planes para que su hijo/a no se atrase académicamente.

• Si su hijo/a tiene siete ausencias sin excusa en un mes o diez ausencias sin excusa durante el año escolar, se nos requiere que presentemos una petición con la corte Juvenil, alegando una violación de RCW 28A.225.010, las leyes de asistencia requerida. Usted y su hijo/a necesite presentarse en la corte juvenil.

¿Sabías? • El asistir a la escuela a tiempo, todo el día, todos los días

dará a su hijo/a la mejor oportunidad de graduarse de la preparatoria.

• Empezando en el kindergarten, faltar un promedio de solamente dos días al mes, con excusa o sin excusa, hace más probable que su hijo/a no alcance los estándares académicos en matemática y lectura al llegar al tercer grado.

• Al grado 6, el estar ausente es una de tres señas que un estudiante abandone sus estudios de la preparatoria.

• Las ausencias pueden ser una seña que un estudiante esté perdiendo el interés por la escuela, batalle con las tareas, que alguien le esté acosando, o que esté enfrentando a otra dificultad potencialmente seria.

• Al noveno grado, la asistencia regular es un mejor pronóstico de la tasa de graduación de la preparatoria que las calificaciones de los exámenes del octavo grado.

Lo que usted puede hacer:• No deje que su hijo/a quede en casa a menos que está

realmente enfermo, como con fiebre, vomito, diarrea o una roncha contagiosa.

Evite citas y viajes durante días de escuela.• Manténgase al corriente de la asistencia de su hijo/a. Faltar

más que nueve días, con excusa o sin excusa, puede poner a su hijo/a en riesgo de atrasarse.

• Establece una rutina regular de hora de acostarse y de la mañana junto con terminar la tarea y empacar las mochilas la noche anterior.

• Ten un plan de respaldo hecho con familia, vecinos, u otros padres para que su hijo/a llegue a la casa si ocurre algo.

Si usted está batallando para que su hijo/a llegue a la escuela por cualquier razón, estamos aquí para apoyarle y trabajar con usted hacia posibles resoluciones. No dude en ponerse en contacto con la oficina de la escuela para fijar una cita para platicar de la asistencia de su hijo/a.
