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.

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.

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.

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.
