MSD Service Center hours have changed! If you need to stop by and see us at the district office, doors are open Monday through Friday from 8am - 4pm, with a one hour lunch closure between 11:30am and 12:30pm.
REMINDER: Tomorrow, Sept. 30 is Orange Shirt Day, also known as the National Day of Remembrance, or the Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
The day is meant to raise awareness of the long lasting impacts of American Indian boarding or residential schools that operated from the early 1800s to the 1970s with the primary objective of "civilizing" or assimilating Native American children and youth.
Tomorrow, students across the Marysville School District will spend time learning about that history in the Pacific Northwest and the impact on Tulalip Tribes.
The district strongly encourages our staff and community to observe Orange Shirt Day, and join us in recognizing the importance of remembering the children who died in the Residential Boarding School system while honoring the survivors.
Last week, Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP), Developmental Preschool, and Community Peer Preschool students kicked off their school year, and more learners are joining us today as part-day ECEAP begins. Over the summer, our staff also began the process of creating new classrooms to support future growth on campus.
Consolidating our early learning programs under one roof helps us more efficiently offer support to families, provide more inclusive learning opportunities, and grow our capacity to serve even more of our youngest learners. 🌟 Enrollment is happening throughout the year, so check out the ELC website for more information!
September 17 is known as Constitution Day, because on this day in 1787 (almost 240 years ago!), the historical document founding the United States Government was signed. Throughout the day, students across MSD will be learning about this document, its significance, and what it means to be civically engaged. Consider this your annual reminder to give it a read too! https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
UPDATED AT 3:39pm: The small tree fire has been extinguished by Marysville Fire.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION: At approximately 3:30 pm, MSD staff were informed of a fire in a tree next to the Cedarcrest Middle School campus. Firefighters are on site – no students are on campus.

To protect the student’s privacy, we will not be able to share any more information about the incident.
It's time to turn up the (Friday Night) Lights! Today, our high school football teams play their first games after our soccer teams kicked things off last night. Our student-athletes for all of our fall sports have been working hard for the past few weeks already (drinking plenty of water while they're at it), and we're cheering them on for a healthy and fun-filled season! Stay in-the-know by following the high-school game schedules for Marysville-Getchell, Marysville-Pilchuck, and Tulalip Heritage here: https://www.wescoathletics.com/school-search/
The first day of the 2025-2026 school year for our 1st through 9th graders (plus Legacy High School) is in the books. Thanks to all who made it a great first day. We'll see the rest of our high school students tomorrow!
Upon receiving the report, the school immediately went into lockdown. MPD quickly verified the safety of our campus and lifted the lockdown at 9:38am.
All students and staff are safe and school is now resuming as normal.
We want to thank our staff who followed our outlined safety procedures and MPD for their collaboration. Safety is our highest priority.
ONE MORE DAY: Our bus drivers are hitting the road this morning to learn their routes ahead of the first day of school TOMORROW! In that spirit, here are some pretty simple but important reminders:
1: When you're driving on a two-lane road or traveling the same direction as a bus on a multi-lane street, it is illegal and SUPER DANGEROUS to pass a bus that is stopped with red flashing lights. We hope keeping kids safe is incentive enough, but our buses are also equipped with stop arm cameras that send information directly to the Marysville Police Department so violators will face hefty fines.
2: We know you have places to be, but please slow down in school zones, especially during school hours and at the start and end of the school day.
Thank you for helping us keep our staff and students safe this school year!
2 DAYS LEFT: Did you know our elementary school start times are 5 minutes earlier this year? That's right, 5 whole minutes (now starting at 9:20am). To help you remember, our bell schedules and school year calendar are listed on our website, so save or print a copy for your future reference. Find them by visiting our home page: https://www.msd25.org/
Back to school may be right around the corner, but this week, we’re celebrating our high school students who put in the time and effort this summer to earn the class credits they need to graduate.
By the numbers: more than 300 students in 9th through 12th grades recovered a total of 614 classes. And on Thursday, we’ll celebrate the accomplishments of our seniors during summer commencement at Marysville Pilchuck High School’s auditorium. The event is open to all – please join us in congratulating our graduates!
