A Reminder about our Dress Code
Spring is here and it is time to remind students and parents of appropriate school attire. It is our goal to maintain an academic atmosphere at all times. Please dress your child in clothing that is safe and appropriate for school.
The following rules apply:
- Shorts, skorts, and skirts must reach the end of the fingertip when arms are extended down at their side. No spaghetti strap shirts or shirts that expose the tummy. Sleeveless shirts are ok.
- Tennis shoes for PE. Shoes need to be appropriate for playing safely on the playground, therefore no flip flops. If a student forgets or wears inappropriate clothing, that student will be asked to go to the office, change clothes (as available), or call home to notify the parents to request clothing if needed.

Help your Child Succeed in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance Early
Did you know that if your child misses more than 18 days in a given school year that this is chronic absenteeism? Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school and themselves. Here are some tips to increase your child’s attendance:
- Set a regular bedtime and morning routine
- Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before
- Develop backup plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call a family member, a neighbor, or another parent.
- Try scheduling medical appointments and extended trips when school isn’t in session
- If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.
The most crucial learning hours of a school day are the morning hours because this is when students are most attentive. Students who are tardy miss the beginning of their morning classes, and they also cause a distraction when they arrive late to class. Please ensure that your student is on time for class every day. At Mukilteo Elementary, school starts promptly at 9:00am. Any student arriving after 9:00am will be marked tardy. Remember you can drop your child off as early as 8:45am for them to eat breakfast or go to walk n talk. Studies have shown that students who are frequently tardy have lower GPAs, lower scores on standardized assessments, and lower graduation rates. Chronic tardiness in elementary and middle school is also linked to failure in high school. We want all students to be successful at Mukilteo Elementary and it starts with making sure you are ready to learn at 9:00am
