We want to inform you of a situation that may impact our schools with questions and concerns. Marysville 911 has received several calls regarding an armed individual near school campuses in Marysville. While Marysville Police Department will continue investigating, they and the Mount Vernon Police Department believe these are intentional false reports similar to the "swatting" that occurred around the region several weeks ago.
There is no known threat to our schools. We will remain vigilant and continue to work with the Marysville Police Department for the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
These calls are from a female and originate from Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon Police Department is investigating to determine the origin of the calls. These incidents are happening with more frequency across the country. It is an intentionally false report with seemingly specific information about an active shooter situation. These are extremely concerning and a reminder of how important it is to verify facts before sharing information about a reported threat.

Dear MSD Families and Staff,
All schools will be open and operating on a regular schedule tomorrow, Monday, November 7.
Thanks to the hard work of our facilities and maintenance staff each school has been checked and the power to the schools has been verified. There may some residual issues with phone service or the internet but our technology team is checking sites and addressing issues as they arise.
We also appreciate the work of the PUD crews as they have cleared debris on power lines and fixed transformers.
We know some areas of Marysville and Tulalip are still without power and some roads have debris on them so please be safe driving to school or work.
