REMEMBER, GRADE REPORTS ARE NOW ELECTRONIC
Our school strives to ensure that parents receive important information in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner. To that end, we are excited to announce the expansion of the Report Card feature within MUSD Connection, the District's secure Web-based tool, providing parents and students the ability to view student information such as class assignments, grades, course history, attendance, and health information from the convenience of any computer or mobile device, 24-hours a day.
This Report Card feature now provides the ability to view and print your child's K-12 grade Report Card/7-12 grade Progress Report instantaneously! This means, timely notification regarding your child's academic progress and no more waiting for the mail. Not to mention, the cost-savings associated with reduced printing and mailing expenses, so that more dollars can be directed to your child's classroom.
Not yet connected? It's easy and fast. Simply contact our Registrar, Emily Sosinski at 682-3102 to receive your secure MUSD Connection User Activation Key.
PTO THANKS!
Thanks to our wonderful Parent Teacher Organization for sponsoring a dance for our students on Friday night! Students appreciate having a fun and safe event to enjoy with their friends.
BUS PASSES
Reminder, we are unable to issue bus passes on Fridays due to buses being full since there are no after school activity buses on that day. Thank you for understanding.
