• Classes start the week of Monday, January 13 and finish the week of March 31, 2025
• Registration opens: Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 9am
• Registration closes: Monday, January 6, 2025 at noon (Credit cards will be charged and classes will be confirmed or canceled based on enrollment at that time.)

Starting on December 9, if your child in grades 4 or 5 rides an e-bike to school, it must have the approved MBUSD-certified sticker displayed on their e-bike to be permitted to park on school grounds.

To receive this sticker, students must have completed a District-approved e-bike certification course through E-Bike Sense or PedalAce. Without this certification, students will not be allowed to bring or park their e-bikes on campus, and any e-bike found without a sticker will be held for parent pick-up. Private course options remain available with E-Bike Sense (in-person) and PedalAce (online), and free District-sponsored classes will again be offered in January.

Here is the link to register privately for the in-person E-Bike Sense course. Please use the discount code MBUSD25 to receive a 25% discount available to MBUSD families.

Here is the link to register for the online PedalAce course. This course is offered at a 50% discount.

If your student has already completed or will complete a private class through PedalAce and E-Bike Sense, please submit their certificate of completion to the front office as soon as possible. Once verified, a sticker will be issued to immediately be placed on the e-bike. Certificates will be cross-referenced with lists provided to the school by PedalAce and E-Bike Sense.

This newly updated Parent Handbook has everything you'll need to have the best year ever! It includes calendars, information, resources, policies, and more. Click here to check it out!

Here's to a great school year, Mustangs!

Warmly,
