Kamiak Weekly Update

We would like to remind you of the procedure for early dismissals at Kamiak when your student is leaving school early.

To ensure a smooth process, please notify us through Parent Square, email KAAttendance@mukilteo.wednet.edu

or by calling 425-366-5460 either the day before or the morning of the early dismissal. This allows us to prepare a pass for your student in advance.

On the day of the dismissal, the student will sign out at the attendance office and meet their parent/guardian at the roundabout.

We understand that unexpected situations arise, and we're happy to assist with last-minute dismissals as well!

Thank you for your cooperation.
