We are almost one-third of the way through the school year. This is about the time parents ask me how they can get involved and support us here at Kamiak. The best way to support a high school student (and our whole school) is to show up. Students at this age are exploring their interests and growing their skills. They want supportive fans who are there to cheer them on and help make their interests possible. Here are three great ways to get involved as we shift from November to December:

There is one more way to get involved…but it’s mostly at home. Consider showing up for a conversation with your child about their interests they aren’t yet exploring. There is always room for one more member of most clubs all year. Our sports teams have roles for players and student-supporters in every season. It takes some encouragement for most people to feel like they can join something new – maybe some encouragement from you will make the difference.

Each year, Kamiak works with our local middle schools to help provide holiday gifts for families in our community. This year we are helping 62 children in the Mukilteo School District. Many 3rd period classes adopted families this year and are working to fill their gift requests. But, if your child’s 3rd period did not adopt a family, or if you are able to help by providing additional gifts, please take a look at our Amazon Wish List. Items can be shipped directly to Kamiak High School. Thank you for your support this holiday season.

 

Information about local food support resources that are currently available in our area:

    Food Banks Padlet.

Our school has a small food pantry available for students and families. Items are available on a first-come, first-served basis as we rely on donations. Families can reach out to their student’s school counselor or Student Support Advocate to schedule a time to stop by during school hours.

There are a couple local options for families who could use help with a Thanksgiving meal this year:

Hot Meal Options: Several community programs are offering free hot meal deliveries or in-person Thanksgiving dinners around the holiday.

The Kamiak Girls Wrestling program is celebrating an exciting milestone this week: the team was featured in the Everett Herald in an article titled “Strength in numbers: Kamiak girls wrestling takes next step.”

The article highlights the record turnout for the Lady Knights this season and the strong team culture that is emerging as the program continues to grow. With more athletes than ever before, the team is building depth, developing new leaders, and creating more opportunities for girls to participate in one of the fastest-growing sports in Washington.

Head Coach John Knight-Baldwin praised the commitment of the athletes and the support of the Kamiak community, noting that this year’s growth reflects both the hard work of returning wrestlers and the enthusiasm of new team members joining the mat for the first time.

This recognition from the Everett Herald is a proud moment for the program and a great reflection of the positive momentum within Kamiak Athletics.

1st quarter grades have been finalized. Please consider working with your student to review their grades and come up with a plan, if needed, to address any academic concerns. We highly encourage students to work directly with their teachers to discuss and problem-solve grade concerns. If you have a 12th grade student, first quarter grades are an important indicator of on-track graduation status. Most of our seniors need to pass most, if not all, of their current classes to graduate. If you have questions about your students’ grades, please don’t hesitate to contact their teachers or school counselor for support. 

If your student is currently enrolled in Running Start, winter quarter registration has begun! To register for classes, your student will need to complete the quarterly Running Start Verification form with their Kamiak School Counselor. The verification form is available on the college website and the Running Start page of the Kamiak website (CCRC section). All directions and required steps for this process were sent to student’s school outlook emails in October. Please have your student review all directions before meeting with their counselor. Students should meet with their counselor as soon as possible as classes are already starting to fill up for next quarter!

The High School and Beyond Plan is a state-mandated graduation requirement for all students, beginning in middle school, that guides them in planning for post-high school education, training, and careers. Counselors met with students earlier this fall to help them access the application and work on required tasks. For more information on your student’s grade-level activities, please visit our High School and Beyond page on the Kamiak website. https://ka.mukilteoschools.org/hsbp
