MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL LAMBERT - Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected
Dear Parents,
There is an important change in the optional instruction we are providing. Beginning Monday, April 20th teachers will be putting lessons for new learning in their Google Classroom. Teachers will also be providing live or recorded lessons on new material.
It is very important that your child is able to access the lessons from the teacher. Please contact us if you still are not able to get online to access the instruction.
Also, a part of the optional learning are the math and reading workbooks from school. Please come to the school on Wednesday or Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to pick up your child's academic materials so they can work in their workbooks at home. Line up at the back doors of the MUR and staff will bring your child's bag of materials to you.
Please contact me at 831-206-9522 or tlambert@mvwsd.org if you have any questions or need assistance.
Best Regards,
Theresa Lambert
Principal Mariano Castro Elementary

Middle School electives selection coming soon
It is the time of year when our incoming middle school students choose their electives for next year. As we enter the third year of the new inclusive middle school schedule, our middle schools are currently working to provide quality offerings that we hope will pique students’ interests and a great complement to our core academics.
Parents will receive an email on April 24 with course descriptions and selection directions. All 5th-7th graders will preference their course electives online through Powerschool on April 29-May 8, 2020.
