We want to inform you of a situation that may impact our schools with questions and concerns. Marysville 911 has received several calls regarding an armed individual near school campuses in Marysville. While Marysville Police Department will continue investigating, they and the Mount Vernon Police Department believe these are intentional false reports similar to the "swatting" that occurred around the region several weeks ago.
There is no known threat to our schools. We will remain vigilant and continue to work with the Marysville Police Department for the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
These calls are from a female and originate from Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon Police Department is investigating to determine the origin of the calls. These incidents are happening with more frequency across the country. It is an intentionally false report with seemingly specific information about an active shooter situation. These are extremely concerning and a reminder of how important it is to verify facts before sharing information about a reported threat.

Friday, December 9, 2023: At approximately 10:28 this morning Pinewood Elementary School was placed in lockdown due to police activity in the area. The police placed the school in lockdown out of an abundance of caution while they searched for a suspect tied to a robbery near the school.

This morning at approximately 9:45 am a 911 call came through Snohomish County dispatch from an unknown source stating there was an active shooter at the Marysville Getchell High School campus. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of students and staff, the school was placed on lockdown. Marysville Police Department immediately responded and quickly investigated. Police have indicated there is no credible threat taking place on campus.
All calls whether considered legitimate or not are taken seriously and the police remained on campus until all areas were checked and verified and deemed no threat.
Parents, please do not go to the school to pick up your child as you will not be allowed access during a lockdown. The lockdown will be cleared shortly. All students and staff are safe. We appreciate the quick response from the Marysville Police Department to help us keep our students, staff, and community safe. School Resource Officers will remain on campus.
Power Outage Update: November 6, 6:12 PM
Dear MSD Families and Staff,
All schools will be open and operating on a regular schedule tomorrow, Monday, November 7.
Thanks to the hard work of our facilities and maintenance staff each school has been checked and the power to the schools has been verified. There may some residual issues with phone service or the internet but our technology team is checking sites and addressing issues as they arise.
We also appreciate the work of the PUD crews as they have cleared debris on power lines and fixed transformers.
We know some areas of Marysville and Tulalip are still without power and some roads have debris on them so please be safe driving to school or work.
November 6, 2022
Dear MSD Families and Staff,
The recent high wind storm has caused some damage to schools and grounds around the district. In addition, some areas of Marysville and Tulalip are still without power. We want you to know that our facilities and maintenance crew has been working over the weekend to clear debris and assess damage including determining which schools are still without power. As of this writing, approximately 11,500 homes and businesses are without power in the area. The facilities and maintenance crew will continue to work throughout the day. If by 5:00 pm, power is not restored in schools experiencing outages a decision will be made and we will notify families and staff of the impacted schools this evening.

Outdoor Activities:
Due to the air quality staying at unhealthy levels, outdoor activities for students including elementary school recess and outdoor PE for all grades are to be held indoors where feasible. In addition, outdoor after-school sports practices are to be moved inside where feasible.
The status of scheduled after-school sports competitions will be monitored and communicated directly to coaches from the Athletic Department and to parents/guardians through FinalForms.
Smoke and Particulates:
Many of our buildings are experiencing the smell of smoke indoors. To help alleviate some of the smell, the airflow has been reduced. This will not eliminate the smell of smoke.
Each building has filters that are changed on a regular cycle. These filters may help to reduce the particulates indoors. Students and staff who must walk outside between classes and who are in sensitive groups may want to consider wearing a mask to help limit exposure and reduce the inhalation of particulates.
Masks are available from your school offices.
This current order is in effect through Thursday (October 20) evening.
In Marysville, due to the air quality reaching unhealthy levels, outdoor activities for students including elementary school afternoon recess, outdoor PE for all grades, and outdoor after-school sports practices and events are canceled with the exception of the MPHS vs. Snohomish girls' soccer at Snohomish. Currently, the air quality levels in Snohomish have not reached unhealthy levels. The soccer game is currently planned as scheduled but this could change as the day progresses. MPHS Soccer Coaches will be kept informed if the status changes.
For schools and after-school sports practices, activities may be held indoors where feasible.
