School Liaison

Your local School Liaison Officer can inform you of local school options and help guide your choices as you plan for your child’s educational needs as well as provide additional information and support.

What is a School Liaison Officer?

The School Liaison Officer is the primary point of contact between the military installation, the local schools and school districts, transitioning families and the community at large. The Navy School Liaison Officer (SLO) program helps installation and regional commanders work with state departments and local school districts to foster awareness of the stressors on military families brought about by frequent transitions and extended deployments. These education professionals are located on all major Navy installations and serve as linkages between Navy families and schools.

The School Liaison Officer specializes in serving military students grade K-12 and families, and offers a wide spectrum of services including:

• Assisting families with inbound/ outbound school transfers
• Providing information on local schools and boundaries
• Providing information for parents to make informed school choice
• Providing information on graduation requirements
• Providing military and community agency referrals
• Helping families understand and navigate the special education process
• Providing information on home schooling regulations
• Assisting with post secondary preparations

The NAVSTA Everett School Liaison Officer can be contacted at: Smokey Point Naval Support Complex, 13912 45th Ave NE, Marysville, WA 98271. Phone: 425-304-3688; Fax: 425-304-3689 or online by clicking here.
