News & Announcements

This summer, all kids 18 and under can enjoy free breakfast and lunch with Snohomish School District’s Kids' Café - no sign-up, no hassle, just great meals! Swing by your school library for stories and smiles, and keep an eye out for the Book Café rolling through neighborhoods with free books to spark summer reading fun. Come eat, read, and explore all summer long!

SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, provides a one-time $120 annual benefit to help families purchase groceries for school-aged children when meals are not available during the summer months. Families are strongly encouraged to update their mailing address with their TANF or SNAP office, as well as with their child’s school, in preparation for 2026 SUN Bucks benefits. If changes are necessary, this information must be updated no later than Friday, May 29. The address on file will be used to deliver benefits.

For students in 7th grade, the Tdap vaccine must be given at or after age 10 to be accepted for school entry. If your child is 10 years old and already received this booster, their immunizations are complete. The middle school nurse may need medical verification when this vaccine was given. If your child receives this booster anytime between now and the start of next school year, please bring the record to the school nurse. It is good to keep a copy of immunizations for your records.

Do you have a child who will be new to the Snohomish School District during the 2026–2027 school year? Or, have you recently moved to the area? Will your child be able to enroll in kindergarten or a preschool program next year? We can’t wait for you to join us!

Cold and flu season is here in our community, and the health of our students and staff remains a top priority. Here are a few helpful reminders for families to help keep our schools healthy.

Message from Superintendent Kent Kultgen regarding the results from the February 2026 election.

We’re excited to share that beginning this school year, elementary schools in the Snohomish School District will be using a newly designed report card. The updated report card simplifies grading so it’s easier to understand a child’s progress toward grade-level standards.

We want to share an early update about the 2026–2027 and 2027–2028 school year calendars. We recognize how important advance notice is for family planning, and we appreciate your flexibility. The proposed start and end dates and other key breaks for both school years are outlined here.

Thanks to all those who joined us at our October 20 Connected Conversations - Connected and Protected: Navigating the Digital Age with international author and speaker Katherine Martinko. Click here to watch the recorded presentation.

Being in school on time, all day, every day makes a big difference for student success. Starting as early as kindergarten, consistent attendance helps children build strong learning habits, stay connected with their peers, and stay on track toward high school graduation.

Join Superintendent Kent Kultgen on Wednesday, September 17, from 9-10 a.m. for Coffee & Conversation. Learn more at www.sno.wednet.edu/coffee.

Please review our updated procedures for car drop-off, walkers, bus riders, and parent pick-up to help ensure a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal for all students.

With the new school year underway, our Meet the District Staff spotlights are shining once again for 2025-2026!

New spotlights will be shining all school year ... so keep watching!
