Marysville panel begins reviewing boundaries

Elementary and middle school boundaries will be changing in the Marysville School District.

A boundary advisory committee will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday at the district office, 4220 80th St. NE, in the early stages of its discussions.

A new elementary school will be built at 67th Avenue NE and Grove Street and will open in 2008.

Marysville Junior High School is being converted into a third middle school, prompting more boundary changes for students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

Mukilteo parents can review AIDS materials

Parents of fifth- through 12th-grade students in the Mukilteo School District can preview HIV-AIDS instructional materials at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Lake Stickney Teaching and Learning Center.

Information also will be available on the human growth and development learning materials for fourth-, seventh- and ninth-grade students.

Parents can excuse their child from the sex education units by written request to the school’s principal.

To have children excused from the HIV and AIDS lessons, parents are required by state law to first review the class materials.

For more information, call Lloy Schaaf, director of curriculum, at 425-356-1205, or e-mail schaaflm@mukilteo. wednet.edu.

The center is at 1625 Madison Way, Lynnwood.

Sports still on at middle schools in Lake Stevens

Lake Stevens middle schools will continue to offer interscholastic sports when eighth-graders leave next fall to learn at the new Cavelero Mid-High School.

Competitive sports will be available to seventh-graders under the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, while sixth-graders will have intramural options.

Under the combination system, each head coach of a seventh-grade “cut sport” – basketball, volleyball and softball – will be responsible for a weeklong sixth-grade interim session.

Sixth-graders also can participate in non-cut sports, with the exception of football.
