Every year, the School Counseling Center holds Breakfast with the Counselors workshops for parents and guardians of students in each grade. This year, we plan to bring those workshops online and open them all to parents/guardians of students in any grade. The workshops serve as a time for people to come together, share ideas, and learn how best to support their students as they navigate their high school careers. As the challenges have increased amidst the pandemic, we want to facilitate conversations early and often. Although it’s not mandatory, here is an article we recommend reading before the workshop: Resilience: Helping Your Teenager Cope with Challenges
A Note From The MURSD Technology Department
Dear Families,
We strive to eliminate communication barriers between MURSD and our families. We wanted to offer two helpful suggestions that would support the flow of critical information from the district.
1. Please add "no-reply@mursd.org" to your contacts. We hope that if our sending email address is in your contacts, it will not get filtered out of your inbox by your email provider.
2. Please install the MURSD app so your family can receive push notifications with crucial information. Here is a link to the Apple App, and here is the link Android App."
Thank you in advance for your support. Please reach out if you have any questions.
