RESCHEDULED Connecting with the Curriculum

We are thrilled to share that our Connecting with the Curriculum event has been rescheduled! While we unfortunately had to move our original date, we are excited to now welcome families on Thursday, March 19 from 5:30–7:00 PM.
We look forward to coming together to share learning experiences, highlight classroom curriculum, and strengthen our school–family connection. Families are welcome to bring the entire family, but all children must remain with their adult during the entire event.

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support. We can’t wait to see you there!

Pathfinder Spirit Days

Character Day for our Pathfinder students!
Thursday, March 12 for preschool
Friday, March 13 for kindergarten

Your child may come dressed up like their favorite Disney, television, book, or movie character. Please do not send students to school with a costume-related mask and accessories as part of their outfit. Since we are a school full of young children, if your child dresses up, please make sure it is not something that would scare other children. Keep it playful and fun. Thank you!

Transportation Changes

Please remember that all transportation changes must be called into the school office before 2:30 PM. This ensures we have enough time to notify teachers and staff and helps us keep every student safe and accounted for at dismissal. Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Kindergarten Registration is Open

Do you or someone you know have a child who will be 5 years old by August 31? Will they attend kindergarten in Mukilteo School District next fall? Registration for kindergarten classes for the 2026-27 school year is currently open.

Families can register online at the link below or may pick up a registration packet in the Pathfinder office. Our office is open from 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., but we recommend visiting between 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to avoid drop off and pick up traffic in our parking loop.

Daylight Saving Time- March 8

Spring is almost here which means it is time to "spring forward". On Sunday, March 8, remember to set your clocks forward one hour. To help plan, here are some helpful tips:

  • Set your clocks forward one hour before going to bed on the night of the change (Saturday night).
  • Adjust any devices that don't automatically change (like wall clocks, microwaves, or alarm clocks).
  • Check your routines: With the time change, mornings might feel a bit earlier, and evenings will be lighter. It can be a great time to shift your schedule a little earlier to make the transition smoother.
  • Be mindful of kids' bedtime: The time change can disrupt sleep schedules. Try to adjust bedtime by 15-minute increments a few days before the change to make it easier for everyone.
