Thank you for visiting our site on the Internet. The Mukilteo School District serves a diverse population of about 14,000 students who live near the Puget Sound about 15 miles north of Seattle, Washington.  Our mission is to help prepare our community's children to be successful, contributing workers, learners and citizens. Our students learn in an environment that is positive, caring, and focused on their highest academic potential. And, it's working. Mukilteo students consistently score well in annual achievement tests and win academic honors. Many people have moved to the area because of the first-rate Mukilteo school system.

The Washington State Parent Information Resource Centers  are community-based centers that offer information to parents on state educational standards, supplemental services and school choice along with a wide variety of activities and services for families. By providing information, education and support, as well as links to other available community resources, the Centers seek to promote the self-sufficiency and well-being of families.

Each site has:
 

  • Information & referral services - extensive information on community services and resources and can assist parents and teachers with referrals.

  • A resource library with handouts, magazine articles, books, videos and other materials on a variety of topics, e.g., literacy, homework help, managing television, education reform efforts, parent involvement, childhood developmental milestones and parent education. Some material is available in several languages.

  • Advocacy and leadership training for parents
    Information on parental involvement plans, best practices for parental involvement, support for parents in need of assistance getting active in their child’s school, an established line of communication for parents to report abuses and obstacles.

  • Partnerships with after-school programs

     The PIRC is a valuable educational site which assists parents in taking a proactive approach to developing a whole, healthy family by making educational materials, training, support information, and other resources readily accessible to all families in Washington State.
