There will also be additional students recognized that will stand where they are seated for their participation in various other programs and extra-curriculars at HP.

We look forward to celebrating with you all!

ATTENDANCE
Early Pick-Up Procedure
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.
PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCES
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.
MORNING DROP-OFF PROCEDURE
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!
