Summer Reading and Learning
Now that summer is almost here, what are you going to do to keep your children busy and occupied? I hope you have a lot of fun things plans with your family and friends. I also wanted to let you know that just because it is summer, it does not mean your child should stop reading on a regular basis. I encourage you to go and visit the local library and find some fun books to read. I also want to let you know that most of the summer educational programs will remain available to your child through your child's login if they want to keep their learning going. But no matter what, enjoy this time of sleeping in (if you can) and relaxing. We will see you all back in August!
Additional Bus Stops Returning to Mission Meadows 2024-25
We are excited to announce that the district's transportation department anticipates being able to reinstate some paused bus routes for the 2024-25 school year. Our district's long standing tradition of providing general education transportation to qualifying schools and students is a commitment to providing an equitable access to education to all students. Be on the lookout for a letter from the transportation department to qualifying students in the coming weeks. It is important that you return it promptly upon receiving this notice letting them know whether or not you will be taking advantage of this bus transportation. Thank you for your patience as the district worked diligently in solving the staffing shortage. We look forward to providing bus transportation to students again to help families in the 2024-25 school year. Here are the proposed bus stops that will be reinstated.
New Bike/eBike Protocols for 2024-25
