Safe & Secure Schools Webinar: Keeping Students Safe Takes All of Us 
Community conversation will give families practical tools to feel safe, supported and connected 

Mukilteo School District invites families, students, staff, and community members to a virtual community conversation on Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. about how we can work together to keep students safe, supported, and connected.  

During this interactive event, attendees will learn about the many layers of school safety at Mukilteo School District from secure buildings, visitor management, and emergency preparedness to bullying prevention, mental health, digital safety, and student belonging. 

“Keeping students safe starts long before there is an emergency,” said Safety Director Russ Robinson. “Families and students are important partners in that work. Understanding how schools respond in an emergency, how to report a concern and where to turn for help all contribute to creating safe, welcoming schools where students can thrive.” 

Robinson says participants will have an opportunity to work through real-life scenarios, hear directly from students about what helps them feel safe and learn more about the trusted adults and resources available throughout the district. 

“Attendees will leave with practical tools they can use right away - including how to report concerns, access mental health support, prepare for emergencies, and help create safer, more connected schools,” he adds. 

Mukilteo School District is proud to welcome Dr. Lucía Magis-Weinberg, a globally recognized expert in adolescent brain development. Drawing from the latest neuroscience and real-world research, Dr. Lucia Magis-Weinberg will unpack how digital devices are shaping the teen brain, behavior, and mental health - and what parents can do to help their kids build healthier relationships with technology.

These sessions will give you practical tools and confidence to set healthy limits, foster digital wellness, and guide your children to become responsible digital citizens.
