Building for Our Students’ Future
Capital Bond - February 11, 2020
Snohomish School District is asking voters to consider a $470 million school funding measure in the February 2020 election to rebuild aging elementary schools, reduce the need for portable classrooms and make sure our school buildings continue to be a source of pride for our community. These projects will ensure our students have access to safe, quality school buildings and programs throughout our district, which serves about 9,800 students.

Issue with Comcast/Xfinity emails

It has come to our attention that some of our families with comcast.net email addresses may not be receiving communications from our schools. We are continuing to research the problem, but what we do know is these messages have all been successfully sent from our mail server. The problem is with some users’ mail relay (mx1.comcast.net). It appears as though some are having issues accepting School Messenger, Listserv and other sno.wednet.edu emails. Thus, some messages are not arriving to mail client addresses. The district is not able to fill this form out for specific email users – this is a personal setting Comcast/Xfinity only accepts for the noted subscriber.

When filling out the Comcast/Xfinity Blocked Provider Request Form located at http://postmaster.comcast.net/block-removal-request.html, please tell them to whitelist the following IP addresses:
