AVID Family Night coming November 30 at Marysville Middle School from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. This event is open to all families district-wide.
Outdoor Activities:
Due to the air quality staying at unhealthy levels, outdoor activities for students including elementary school recess and outdoor PE for all grades are to be held indoors where feasible. In addition, outdoor after-school sports practices are to be moved inside where feasible.
The status of scheduled after-school sports competitions will be monitored and communicated directly to coaches from the Athletic Department and to parents/guardians through FinalForms.
Smoke and Particulates:
Many of our buildings are experiencing the smell of smoke indoors. To help alleviate some of the smell, the airflow has been reduced. This will not eliminate the smell of smoke.
Each building has filters that are changed on a regular cycle. These filters may help to reduce the particulates indoors. Students and staff who must walk outside between classes and who are in sensitive groups may want to consider wearing a mask to help limit exposure and reduce the inhalation of particulates.
Masks are available from your school offices.
This current order is in effect through Thursday (October 20) evening.

Food for Thought:
Marysville School District 2016 statistics show that 54% of elementary students use Free/Reduced meals. These children receive meals at school, but what happens to these children when the school week is over?
Food For Thought Backpack Program is currently working with all of elementary school counselors to provide these students with weekend meals. We also have a “Food Pantry” in all of the Middle & High Schools for those students in need.
Each bag contains:
-Breakfast: Instant oatmeal, box cereal, Pop Tart, and shelf-stable milk
-Lunch: Mac & Cheese, Top Ramen, Cup of Soup or Campbell’s soup, and juice
-Snack: Fruit snack, granola bar, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks, apple, banana or oranges, and juice
-Dinner & Dessert: Chef Boyardee Meal, Kids Complete Meal, ravioli, chili, shelf-stable milk, and pudding or fruit cup

Recently a group of staff from the Marysville School District and The Tulalip Tribes attended the Native Voices Educator Art Academy Training at the Skokomish Community Center during the week of August 1 - 5. The group trained in equity, diversity, and the arts in relation to Native American arts and culture, earning 13 STEM clock hours and 17 equity hours, with the potential for more with classroom mentorship! The Arts Impact Team included mentors who guided us through the week with the Skokomish Tribe graciously hosting us.
