"Lunch on the Snow" at MSE is cancelled today due to icy conditions on the playground. We will see you next time!. 🍎
Happy Snow Week everyone! We will continue to have school for the remainder of the week.
No school on Monday! (MLK Jr Day)
Family and friends attending Lunch on the Snow will be seated outside with their children and all other students will eat inside of the cafeteria. Make sure you dress warm and cozy!
Poor weather conditions will unfortunately cancel the gathering.
Have you ever heard anybody say, “The school just wants my child there for the money!?” Other than us wanting the students to learn, they couldn’t be more correct! Schools are funded on our average daily attendance (ADA) for each district. When our ADA is high, we receive more funding. When it is low, we receive less funding. ADA funding is what our budget is composed of. With a low ADA, decisions have to be made that ultimately affect keeping staff. It is that simple, albeit sad. All educational studies surrounding effectiveness and success at school show staff as the biggest impact in a child’s education.
Did you know that you can send your child to school for a partial day? The child will still receive credit for attendance, and the school will receive ADA funding. For example, if they have an appointment at 9:00 am, send them to school until 8:50 am. Doing so will also allow your child to check in with the teacher, gather work needed for that day, and help your child feel connected.
As far as illness, we follow the CDPH guidelines, outlined here. chrome-extension://bpmcpldpdmajfigpchkicefoigmkfalc/views/app.html

We hope this helps to inform our families that attendance is important for your child’s educational development, as well as for staffing and services provided in our district. Together, we can provide the best educational experience for your child, increase our ADA, keep our class sizes small, offer programs and services, and keep teachers/staff employed.
Good evening, MSUSD families. While the high school does not have school tomorrow due to a staff in-service day, we DO have school. The staff is eager to see all of our students tomorrow. We can't wait to start 2024 together! See you in the morning.
