Kamiak Weekly Update
May 13th, 2022
Athlete of the Week
The Kamiak Knights tennis captains, Riley Beirne (12th), Chloe Lee (11th) and Jinny Min (12th), have led the team through their leadership and action on the courts. All three players have represented Kamiak in a positive light as we have competed and battled against our opponents. Riley (#2 singles), Chloe (#1 singles) and Jinny (#2 doubles) have collectively been a part of the team for 10 years and can always be depended upon to assist in various roles. Congratulations!
Double Layered
Congratulations Toko!
Toko just won the Congressional Art Competition. After her other recognitions this year, this is like having a Triple Crown winner.
Her newest piece is headed to Washington DC where it will be displayed in the US Capitol for an entire year!
Local framing shop, Garrett’s Framing Studio, has so generously donated their time and materials to get Toko’s piece framed and ready for the big show!

Kamiak Theatre Arts Department Presents CHICAGO: HIGH SCHOOL EDITION
BOOK BY FRED EBB AND BOB FOSSE
MUSIC AND LYRICS: JOHN KANDER & FRED EBB
Directed by Bryan Sullivan, Music Direction by Nancy Duck-Jefferson, Orchestra Direction by Brian Steves
May 6, 7, 13 at 7 pm May 14 at 2 pm
In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.

ATTENDANCE REMINDERS FOR FAMILIES
PLEASE call or email ONE DAY IN ADVANCE (if possible) when you need your student dismissed early from school. Our campus is HUGE! We have multiple buildings with almost 2,400 students. Students may be off campus for aerobic walking, in one of two lunchrooms or in East Campus. We will get a pass to your student, they will sign out in Attendance and meet you at your vehicle in the roundabout at the time you indicate. Thank you for your help with this.
For ANY absence, please email (in your native language is fine) KAAttendance@mukilteo.wednet.edu or call 425-366-5460.
INCLUDE:
Student First and LAST NAME
DATE of absence
REASON for absence
TIME for dismissal (if applicable)
VOICEMAIL or EMAIL RESPONSE: We will only return your call or voicemail if we have questions but will always respond to email.
PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCES: please have your student pick up a pre-arranged absence form (#1 on the purple wall) in Attendance, fill it out in ink, have their teachers and parent/guardian sign it and return to Attendance. Each student is allowed 5 Excused pre-arranged absences per year.
SPRING ATHLETE REMINDER: Your student may NOT participate in practice or competition on a given day if they have ANY unexcused absence OR miss more than 3 periods of the day EVEN IF the absence is excused (exception: school-related absence such as class fieldtrip). Please note that if your student misses more than 25% of class, they will be marked with an Unexcused Absence rather than a tardy (i.e., depending on the day of the week and the class period, arriving more than 10-13 minutes into a class will be an unexcused absence). Visit the Athletics page for eligibility info or email the Athletic Department at KAAthletics@mukilteo.wednet.edu with athletics questions.
Course Request Changes
Earlier this year, our students picked their classes for next year. If students have changed their minds about the classes they want, there is one last opportunity to make a change.
The schedule change window is May 9th to May 20th. We recommend that all students double check their course requests in Qmlativ during the schedule change window. If they have changed their minds or see an error, they will need to set an appointment to meet with their counselor or visit during lunch when counselors hold drop-in appointments.
(Note: Only incoming ninth grade students may make course change requests by email. All other students complete their course change requests using in-person meetings.
After May 20th, no schedule changes are made and we respect your course respects as your final decision.

This means you will not need tickets. But, recognizing the unpredictability of the COVID-19 Pandemic, things can change uncontrollably. We look to regular guidance from the Snohomish Health District, and will let our Kamiak community know if/when there is a change regarding our plans for Graduation.
