Mount Shasta Elementary School

Attendance is vital for the success of your child. Please send your child to school unless they are experiencing one of the symptoms listed below. Make appointments for later in the day or after school. If you are going out of town, send your child to school for as long as possible. Every minute of their education counts! Develop healthy routines while they are young. They will last a lifetime!

MSUSD Families, Please note the following bus changes: For this Weds.- Friday we will not have an afternoon bus run. Next week: Monday: morning and afternoon route both running. Tuesday: morning route only running. All following days are covered, both in the morning and afternoon, unless an unforeseen conflict arises. If this creates a hardship for your family, please call the school office.

Dear Families, Aug. 21, 2023 The entire staff at MSUSD would like to welcome you to the 2023-2024 academic year! We are so excited to share this journey with you. We have had many positive changes that are in place for your child this year. First, we have a new bus! Please wave at bus 23 as you drive by. It is air conditioned and has seat belts! Next, we have a new 50% English Language Teacher to assist our students whose home language is not English. Laurel Kessler will be teaching these students for 30 minutes daily. We also added a School Improvement Coordinator position, with Mr. Belzer leading the charge. We are excited to have his drive, determination, and expertise assisting the staff and students with improved academics and attendance. This is in addition to his principal duties at MSE. We also hired a Community Schools Coordinator. Jessica Sanchez will be primarily focused on opening a preschool for the 24-25 school year! She will also help in translation services and resources for all families. We are so happy she has joined our team. Also hired is Angie Danel, or Miss Angie as the students call her, as Secretary at MSE. We also hired many new instructional aides as well as a new Kindergarten Teacher, a 4th Grade Teacher, and a Bridges Teacher. Look for communication via emails, Sisson and Mount Shasta Elementary’s Facebook pages, our website, and for more important and timely information, we will send out a group text and/or phone call. As always, please reach out to the office if you have any questions, or your site administrator. We are here to support you and your child in any way we can. Here’s to an amazing year! Warmly, Tami Beall Superintendent

Happy 1st day of school! We are looking forward to a great year with our MSUSD students and families! 💙🍎
