Principal's Message
Dear Mariner Families,
The holiday season is rapidly approaching! There are less than two weeks of school before we have an extended winter break. This time of the year can be exciting, but we also know that it can be a difficult time for many students. If you have any needs or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact a counselor, administrator, or teacher at Mariner. We will do what we can to help make this time of the year pleasant for our students and families. If you enjoy good music during the holiday season, our talented musical groups will be performing in the next few weeks. The Mariner Choir performs their “Winter Concert” on Wednesday, December 8th at 7pm in the Mariner Commons. The orchestra will have their “Winter Concert” on Monday, December 13th at 7:00pm at the Performing Arts Center at Kamiak. And the Mariner Band will be performing their “Holiday Spectacular” concert on Thursday, December 16th at 7:00pm in the Mariner Commons. Each of these performances are free to the public. Lastly, I want to remind you that you can view your student’s updated grades through Family Access in Qmlativ. Teachers are required to update grades in Qmlativ at least two times per month. If you have any questions about grades that your student cannot answer, please be sure to contact the teacher directly.
I hope you have a safe and happy holiday season!
Sincerely,
Nate DuChesne - Principal

TENNIS COACH OF THE YEAR!
Mariner High School tennis coach Jonathan Ochoa-Abarro has been named 4A WESCO Boys Tennis Coach of the Year by fellow WESCO league coaches for his excellent coaching and for being a positive leader to his student-athletes.
Jonathan has been the Mariner tennis coach for both the boys and girls teams for the last four years and both programs have been growing in numbers under his leadership. The boys' team had the best season this year! He also ran a youth tennis camp this past summer for Mukilteo School District students in grades 4-12. In addition to coaching tennis, he also teaches special education at both Mariner and Kamiak. Congratulations, Jonathan!
Students in grades 6 through 12 will have access to free online tutoring services beginning December 8 through a partnership with Revolution Prep. Academic tutoring will be accessible through the student portal on the district website in many key academic subjects (math, science, English Language and literature, foreign languages, history, etc.). Students also have the option for test preparation sessions for SAT and ACT.
The sessions are offered in one-hour blocks with up to 5 other students. They are available after school, evenings and weekends. Students may drop-in to a session, but reservations are recommended as some sessions may fill up
