Reservations & Scheduling

  • A variety of indoor and outdoor school facilities are available for community use.

    Outdoor facilities include:

    • Sand fields
    • Grass fields
    • Synthetic turf soccer/football fields
    • Rubberized tracks
    • Baseball and softball fields
    • Tennis courts
    • Parking lots

    Indoor facilities are generally limited to common-use spaces, including:

    • Gymnasiums
    • Multi-Purpose Rooms (MPR)
    • Cafeterias/Commons
    • Swimming pools

    Classrooms are not available for rent without the explicit permission of the classroom teacher.

    Use of a school kitchen requires a Nutrition Services employee to be on-site, and the associated staffing costs will be charged in addition to the facility rental fee.

    To view all available rental spaces, please visit our Facility Use Photos page.

  • Applications must be submitted online through the District’s facility scheduling program, ML Schedules.

  • Facility use reservations are scheduled quarterly by season rather than for the entire year at once. This helps ensure school activities and events are scheduled first, reducing the need for cancellations or scheduling conflicts.

    Each season, reservations open in priority order based on group classification (Groups A–D). Each group is given an approximately three-day reservation window before scheduling opens to the next group.

    Reservation requests are accepted beginning at 7:00am on the first day of each group’s scheduling window and are reviewed in the order they are received. Requests submitted after a group’s designated scheduling window will be reviewed along with requests from the currently open group.

    To view upcoming scheduling windows and season dates, please see visit our Facility Use Scheduling Dates page.

    Facility requests must be submitted at least 10 working days before the requested use. Requests within 10 days must be made by emailing facilityuse@mukilteo.wednet.edu, and if approved, will incur a $50 late application fee.

  • Yes. The District reserves the right to cancel or reschedule non-school activities if they conflict with school programs. Groups will not be charged when this happens.

  • Outdoor space rentals do not include restroom access. If your group is interested in placing a portable restroom for your event, please complete the Portable Restroom Request Form.

Rates, Billing & Invoicing

  • Facility use rental fees are based on the type of space used and the user’s group classification.

    For more information about Group Classifications and Rates, visit the Facility Use Rates page.

    If you know your Group Classification and event details (site, space, day of week, length of event), the Facility Use Rate Estimate Calculator is a useful tool.

  • Invoices for facility use are generated at the beginning of each month, for the previous month’s usage. Mailed invoices will be sent to the billing address on file and are due within 30 days of the invoice date.

  • Payment can be made by mailing a check to:

    Mukilteo School District
    c/o Business Office
    9401 Sharon Dr
    Everett WA 98204

    Credit card payments can also be accepting over the phone by calling (425) 356-1281

  • Late fees are assessed if payment is not received within 30 days.

    The late fee is 5% of the invoice amount, or $15, whichever is greater.

Changes & Cancellations

  • Reservation changes or cancellations be submitted in writing at least two working days prior to the reservation date.

    Failure to notify the Facilities Office of date or time changes at least two working days in advance will result in charges for the time scheduled or actual hours used, whichever is greater.

    To request a change or cancellation, email facilityuse@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

  • Cancellations made with less than two working days' notice will be charged in full. Groups that fail to show up for a scheduled reservation without notifying the District will be responsible for the full reservation fee and any associated staffing costs. Custodial staff are guaranteed a minimum two-hour payment under the Collective Bargaining Agreement; therefore, a minimum of two hours of custodial charges will be assessed if a custodian was scheduled for the event.

  • Organizations reserving facility or field space should only reserve dates, times, and spaces they need and intent to use. Intentionally reserving more space than needed and then cancelling unneeded space prevents other organizations from reserving or using district fields/facilities.

    Organizations found to be routinely excessively reserving or cancelling facility or field space may be assessed additional cancellation charges from those stated above.

  • The District reserves the right to cancel or revoke facility use reservations when necessary, including when school activities take priority, facilities are closed, or a user fails to comply with facility use policies.

    If a facility is closed due to weather, equipment issues, holidays, or other operational reasons, the user will be notified and no fees will be incurred. The District is not responsible for any costs, losses, or damages resulting from a District-initiated cancellation.

Custodial & Staffing Requirements

  • Use of indoor school facilities outside of regular custodial hours – which includes all Saturday, Sunday, and Holiday use – will result in custodial fees in addition to the space rental charges. Custodial overtime fees are assessed when required to provide access, security, setup, and cleanup, and will be billed back to the user group.

    An additional custodian may be assigned for groups over 300.

  • A District employee must generally be present during facility use. Custodial overtime fees are assessed when required to provide access, security, setup, and cleanup.

  • Custodial services include unlocking and locking doors, operating lights, setting up chairs, and cleanup of spaces used (including trash and bathrooms).

  • The custodial overtime rates are:

    Monday-Saturday: $55/hour
    Sunday/Holiday: $85/hour

     

  • Custodial coverage typically begins 30 minutes before the reservation and extends 30 minutes to 1 hour afterward, though additional time may be required depending on the event and cleanup needs.

Facility Rules & Expectations

  • The custodian on site will meet you at the entrance at your scheduled reservation start time. For the safety of staff and participants, doors will remain locked and should not be propped open. An adult must be present at the entrance to allow access for participants and verify that all individuals entering are associated with their respective program.

  • Additional tables and chairs can be requested on the application form. Our high schools have approximately 50 rectangular folding tables and 200-250 chairs on site. Middle schools and elementary schools have a very limited number of additional tables and chairs for use.

    School sports equipment is not available for use by community members. This includes, but is not limited to: volleyball standards/nets, track equipment, and sports balls.

    Some areas have projector screens available for use, however users must provide their own projector, computer, and cords.

  • Not without prior approval. Furniture and equipment may not be moved between rooms unless arrangements have been made in advance.
