Skykomish Valley Indian Education

Skykomish Valley Indian Education (SVIE) is a federally funded three district consortium program serving Native American/Alaska Native students in Monroe, Snohomish and Sultan School Districts.

The focus of the SVIE program is for both academic support and cultural activities and includes a wide range of opportunities for Native American/Alaska Native youth including additional reading and math support, events such as Heritage Day, the annual Traditional Pow Wow, and regularly scheduled parent meetings.

Eligible students:

  • are those in preschool through 12th grade attending a public school in one of the districts in the consortium. Preschool children are only eligible if they are enrolled in the district’s preschool program and are receiving a free (no tuition) public education
     
  • must provide proof of tribal membership for the child, the child’s parent, or the child’s grandparent
