Marysville School District 25

This morning at approximately 9:45 am a 911 call came through Snohomish County dispatch from an unknown source stating there was an active shooter at the Marysville Getchell High School campus. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of students and staff, the school was placed on lockdown. Marysville Police Department immediately responded and quickly investigated. Police have indicated there is no credible threat taking place on campus. All calls whether considered legitimate or not are taken seriously and the police remained on campus until all areas were checked and verified and deemed no threat. Parents, please do not go to the school to pick up your child as you will not be allowed access during a lockdown. The lockdown will be cleared shortly. All students and staff are safe. We appreciate the quick response from the Marysville Police Department to help us keep our students, staff, and community safe. School Resource Officers will remain on campus.

Power Outage Update: November 6, 6:12 PM 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.

November 6, 2022 Dear MSD Families and Staff, The recent high wind storm has caused some damage to schools and grounds around the district. In addition, some areas of Marysville and Tulalip are still without power. We want you to know that our facilities and maintenance crew has been working over the weekend to clear debris and assess damage including determining which schools are still without power. As of this writing, approximately 11,500 homes and businesses are without power in the area. The facilities and maintenance crew will continue to work throughout the day. If by 5:00 pm, power is not restored in schools experiencing outages a decision will be made and we will notify families and staff of the impacted schools this evening. For your information, inclement weather bulletins for families and staff are linked below: Inclement Weather Bulletin for Families: https://5il.co/13mc4 Inclement Weather Bulletin for Staff: https://5il.co/13mc5 The picture taken of fallen trees at the Transportation Center. Thankfully, the bus was not damaged.

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.

In Marysville, due to the air quality reaching unhealthy levels, outdoor activities for students including elementary school afternoon recess, outdoor PE for all grades, and outdoor after-school sports practices and events are canceled with the exception of the MPHS vs. Snohomish girls' soccer at Snohomish. Currently, the air quality levels in Snohomish have not reached unhealthy levels. The soccer game is currently planned as scheduled but this could change as the day progresses. MPHS Soccer Coaches will be kept informed if the status changes. For schools and after-school sports practices, activities may be held indoors where feasible.

Reminder! Join Dr. Robbins, Marysville School District Superintendent at the Community Building Circle scheduled this evening at 6:30 pm at the Marysville Pilchuck High School Library. Enter at main entrance, watch for directional signage.

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. Representation included Cedarcrest Middle School, Totem Middle School, MPHS, Lead Native Liason-Matt Remle (not pictured), and Tulalip Tribal members.
