Non-Parent/Guardian Pick Ups
Dear Parents and Guardians -
If someone other than the listed Parent or Guardian needs to pick up your student during school hours, "Day Of" permission is needed. Please make sure that you call the Office at 360-629-1300, send an email to Attendance, or send in a note that morning.
"Day Of" permission is needed for those designated as Emergency Contacts as well.
We cannot release a student without "Day Of" permission to anyone other than a listed Parent or Guardian. Thank you for your assistance in keeping our students safe!
To keep everyone safe on school buses and to abide by state law, please follow these guidelines while on a bus:
All items — such as sports equipment, instruments, and metal water bottles — must be completely secured inside of a closed bag or instrument case.
The bus is considered an extension of the school day, and students are expected to behave in a way that is consistent with school/classroom expectations.
For example, items such as bats, lacrosse sticks, tennis rackets, and Stanley water bottles must be secured inside a closed bag while on a school bus.
There are no exceptions to these rules and regulations, per WAC 392-145-021 (Washington State Administrative Code) and School Board policy.
We appreciate your help in making sure that our students continue to stay safe on the bus and following state law so our school buses remain in service.
Please contact our Transportation Department with any questions.

The Technology Student Association is one of 8 recognized Career & Technical Student Organizations in the State of Washington, and is focused on the development of STEM Careers. These organizations allow students to take what they have learned in the Career & Technical Education Classroom and apply this knowledge outside of the school walls. They allow students to demonstrate and develop their technical, leadership, and employability skills through hands-on application and various learning opportunities.
Stanwood High School held the District 1 Contest in Ag Mechanics on 3/18/24. The contest covered: welding, chemical calibration, pesticide label identification, stair jack layout, concrete calculation, small gas engines, and residential house wiring. We had nine teams competed, 89 individual students. The teams are gearing up for state held at Perry Tech in Yakima on 4/12/24. We would like to thank all the community members that helped put the contest on and who also donated the many individual prizes last night with a value of over $3000. A special thanks to the people who came and took part in the contest Evan Caldwell, and Ryan Ovenell.
Stanwood placed 2nd last night being edged out by Mount Baker high school by 7 points.
