April 25, 2018 To MUSD Parents/Guardians: Based on information we have today, a majority of our school based educators and staff plan to participate in the statewide walkout beyond Thursday, April 26. While the last thing we want to do is close our schools, we cannot appropriately supervise students and ensure student safety; therefore, all 18 Marana schools will be CLOSED Thursday, April 26 and Friday, April 27. This impacts preschool through high school. The Marana Unified School District is committed to re-opening schools as soon as possible. At this time, it is unknown how long schools will be closed. It is our hope that schools will reopen on Monday. In the event that schools will be closed on Monday, April 30, we will inform parents no later than 3:00pm Friday, April 27. We ask that you continue to consider an alternative plan for your child(ren) in the event that our schools are forced to close beyond Friday, April 27. The District will continue to provide updates to parents through email, phone call, and text as applicable. Updates will also continue to be provided on our Website at www.maranausd.org and on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/maranaschools/. Answers to questions can be found in our FAQs. We encourage parents to read the FAQs for valuable information regarding breakfast and lunch meals, activities, athletics and field trips, graduation, educational meetings and more. Thank you for your continued support of our staff and schools while these statewide actions are under way. Sincerely, Doug Wilson, Ed.D. Superintendent Attached: Copy of Letter |
