Announcements

SHS Laptop and Device Collection

In the coming weeks, we will begin our laptop and device collection process. Thank you for your continued partnership as we work to ensure that each year, we can provide our students with access to laptops and devices to enhance learning. In order to continue this opportunity, we need all devices returned and assessed before the end of the school year. This will allow for laptops to be maintained over the summer and redeployed in the fall.

Please take a moment to speak with your student and locate all Snohomish School district laptops, chargers, cases, and hotspots (if checked out). We will collect laptops, chargers, cases, and hotspots on the following days:

· Senior Collection: June 6

· 9th through 11th grade Collection: June 14 and June 15

Please note that any laptop, charger, or hotspot that is not returned may result in a fine or fee on your student's account. If your student is a Senior, this may result in their inability to receive their graduation tickets until all fines and fees have been paid. If there are extenuating circumstances, please reach out to an administrator.

Thank you for your support and partnership. Go Panthers!

Make sure your child's immunizations are up to date!

It is important to make sure your child goes to their regularly scheduled wellness appointments, which often include immunizations. The summer months are a great time to get your child caught up with immunization requirements before the 2022-2023 school year. Schedule your appointments early, as health care providers’ schedules quickly fill up in August and September. Make sure to turn in your updated immunization paperwork to the school by Wednesday, September 7.

This reminder is especially important if your child is transitioning to preschool, kindergarten, or 7h grade, as each of these grades has additional immunization requirements.

Every student enrolled/registered in school or childcare in the state of Washington must have medically verified up-to-date immunization records on file with the school in which they are enrolled/registering before the first day of school 2022-2023. Medically verified immunization records include one or more of the following:

FAQs

If I am approved for ACP and currently on an internet service plan with a provider, can I switch to a different internet service plan of that provider, including to that provider’s low-cost plan, and receive the ACP benefit?

  • Yes. The ACP benefit can be applied to any internet service offering, and providers cannot restrict you from switching service offerings or subject you to mandatory waiting periods. Sometimes providers prohibit existing customers from switching to low-cost internet service plans; however, consumers receiving the ACP benefit are not subject to these “existing customer” restrictions.

What happens if my provider has eligibility requirements for an internet service plan that conflict with ACP rules? (e.g. My provider requires that I pay off my past debts before signing up for XYZ internet service plan)

  • ACP rules override the rules of participating providers in the context of an ACP consumer. For instance, a provider may generally require that consumers pay off past or present debts before signing up for XYZ internet service plan. However, consumers who are approved to receive ACP benefits are not subject to that requirement (since the ACP rules prohibit providers from declining to enroll ACP consumers based on past or present debts).

Note: The ACP rules clearly allow ACP consumers to apply their benefit to any internet service offering that is generally available (i.e. not a grandfathered/legacy plan) and prohibit mandatory waiting periods (47 CFR 54.1808(e)(6)(iii)) and restrictions on switching plans (Para. 166 of the Report and Order).

Student Transportation Input Form

So that we can better plan student transportation needs and routes/schedules for the 2022-2023 school year, we have implemented an online Student Transportation Input form at www.sno.wednet.edu/ridethebus. Between now and through early summer, we are asking all parents/guardians of 2022-2023 students to please complete this form. The form only needs to be completed once per student.
