SCHOOL MEALS
The Mukilteo School District participates in the National School Breakfast and Lunch programs. Free and reduced-price meals are served to students whose families qualify under the federal eligibility guidelines. Applications are included in each student’s first-day packet, are available on the school district’s website or may be picked up at school sites. Applications must be resubmitted each year. Menus are distributed to elementary students each month and are posted at middle and high schools. Families may also access menus and nutrition information on the school district’s website. Meal prices for elementary students are $1.75 for breakfast and $3.25 for lunch. Secondary students pay $2.00 for breakfast and $3.50 for lunch.
The school district uses an automated point-of-sale program that creates an account for each student and allows families to pre-pay for meals on the student’s account. Prepayments can be made through www.myschoolbucks.com, the school district’s website, or at the student’s school. More information about school meals and prepaid meals can be found by going to the Nutritiion Services website or by calling 425-356-1212.

USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Mukilteo School District provides students with access to the Internet to find online instructional material, explore educational topics, conduct research, and contact others in the educational world. But access to the school district’s computer network also is a privilege that comes with responsibilities for its appropriate use. It is important that students and parents understand both the benefits of using the computer and the potential hazards.
The school district makes a concerted effort to prevent student access to objectionable material on the Internet by using Internet filtering software. While filters make it more difficult to access objectionable material, filters are not perfect. Every user must take responsibility for his or her use of computers and avoid objectionable
content. Teachers and other staff members supervise computer use to assure that students are accessing educationally relevant information. Guidelines for the acceptable use of computers are contained in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook and are reviewed with each student annually. If you have questions about your child’s use of the Internet while at school, please contact your child’s principal.
