Safe & Secure Schools Webinar: Keeping Students Safe Takes All of Us

Our District invites families, students, staff, and community members to a virtual community conversation on Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. about how we can work together to keep students safe, supported, and connected.  A link to the event will be posted at www.mukilteoschools.org/events.  
 
During this interactive event, attendees will learn about the many layers of school safety at Mukilteo School District from secure buildings, visitor management, and emergency preparedness to bullying prevention, mental health, digital safety, and student belonging. 
 
Attendees will leave with practical tools they can use right away - including how to report concerns, access mental health support, prepare for emergencies, and help create safer, more connected schools.

Cougar Attendance Matters!
