Across the state, 6th-8th graders will be taking the English Language Arts and Mathematics Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA). Students will be taking the tests over several days in their subject area classes. This means if your student is taking the Math SBA and has 3rd period Math, they will test in their 3rd period class with their usual teacher. The English SBA for all grades will be administered from May 14th-17th and the Math SBA for all grades will be administered the following week from May 21st-23rd.

A few things you can do to support your student’s success from home:

• Ensure your student arrives at school on time.
• Avoid scheduling appointments during days/times your student will be testing.
• Have your student eat a healthy breakfast at home or school.
• If your child has headphones they can bring, remind them to pack them.
• Ensure your child gets a good night of sleep.
• Have your student plug their computer in the night before to make sure it’s fully charged.
• Encourage them to do their best!

If you want more information regarding opting out of state testing, please contact Mr. Coram via email at CoramSC@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

Harbour Pointe Middle School is proud to present Shrek The Musical Jr at the Kamiak PAC on May 23, 24, and 25th at 7pm with a community service performance May 25th at 2pm. No tickets are required for the 2pm show but donations to HP Drama Boosters are welcomed.

Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical. It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family. Parental disclaimer: An alternative word for donkey will be used once in the show.

Purchase your tickets here:

Sign into or create your account (directions included on website) . Once signed in go to Items At All Schools>Middle School>Harbour Pointe>Shrek Jr Tickets. You can also use the search bar and type Shrek Tickets. Tickets purchased online will be available at Will Call on the evening of the show. If you would like to buy tickets in person they will be available for purchase from HP’s bookkeeper.

We hope to see you there!

Is your family moving into a different school district? Moving out of state? Are you switching your student from in-person to online school?

Please let our registrar, Miss Howard, know of any current or future school changes so she can send your student’s academic records to their new school.

“The 2024-2025 schedule request change window opens April 29th and goes until May 10th. Students should log on to their Qmlativ account on April 28th to review their requests. Current 8th graders can make changes via email/Schoology messages to their Kamiak Counselor (see the website for contact information). Please note that only emails/Schoology messages from the student (not the student’s parent/guardian) will be processed.”

Mr. Fleming will remind your student(s) when the window officially opens, but double check with your student this weekend that the courses they requested are the ones they want and encourage them to reach out to their counselor when the window opens to make changes if not!

2023-2024 Counselors:

Regular attendance is crucial for students' academic success. We encourage families not to schedule appointments during school hours, although we understand that it may be unavoidable at times. If you need to pick up your student early from school, we require some time to retrieve them from their class. Kindly notify us at least ONE DAY PRIOR by calling (425)366-5105, or emailing HPAttendance@mukilteo.wednet.edu with:

• Your student's name
• Date & time of student's pick up
• Reason for leaving school early

Provided with sufficient advance notice for pick-up, we will have your student waiting for you at the main office at the specified time, saving you from waiting.

We would like to remind you that for vacation/travel absences, a Pre-Arranged Absence Form must be filled out and returned to Student Services at least one week prior to travel. If you know that your student will be absent, please ask them to get a form from Mrs. James in Student Services or print it out at the link below. Your student will need to bring the form to each of their classes for teacher signatures, then collect a parent's signature before returning it to Student Services.

Unless you have an arrangement with the school, please DO NOT drop-off students in the main parking lot during the bus turn-around from 7:35 AM to 8:30 AM.

For the safety of our students, the main parking lot is reserved for school bus drop-off only at that time. All student drop-offs must take place in the back parking lot. We appreciate your support in ensuring the safety of our students!
