The first quarter ends on Friday, November 4th!
The first quarter is a pivotal time for all students, particularly our Freshman students who are new to all things High School. Students are required to earn 24 credits over the course of their 4 years of high school in order to graduate on time. This means that students must pass every class, every semester of every year to be considered “on track” toward graduation. First-quarter grades are a great indicator of how a student is doing in school and where they might see their strengths or areas of improvement.
We have a number of opportunities for students to get help with their classes.
- Student Intervention Time (SIT) which occurs Tuesday-Thursday at the end of the 3rd period.
- Students can go to a teacher’s classroom and get additional support on their work.
- Academic Success Center (ASC) is available to students to receive extra support during the school day. The ASC is open every period, during both lunches and after school.
- The Writing Center is open during both lunches, during SIT, and after school for students to receive tutoring support in their English classes.
- Finally, many teachers provide additional support for their students, please encourage your student to talk with their teachers about additional support.
ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
We know that attending school every day is a key to success in and out of the classroom. Students who miss 10% (18 absences per year) are considered chronically absent and are in jeopardy of falling behind academically, and socially with opportunities for positive engagement in school. Please encourage your student to attend school every day and ON TIME.

Ninth Grade is Important
Did you know?... Students who pass ALL of their classes in Grade 9 are FOUR TIMES as likely to graduate as those who fail only one class. To help students succeed during their first year of high school, Mariner partners with The Center for High School Success (CHSS) to ensure our students in Grade 9 get all the help and support that they need to pass all of their classes.
If you or your Grade 9 student is interested in learning more about the program, contact our Student Success Coordinator Ryan Peterson at petersonra@mukilteo.wednet.edu or have your student stop by room E-104!
