Dear MUSD Parents/Guardians:
On behalf of the Governing Board and Senior Leadership, it is my privilege to welcome you and your child(ren) to the 2018-2019 school year. We are confident that this will be a GREAT year! As members of Senior Leadership and I visited schools today, we observed wonderful things occurring. Greetings and hugs. Friends reconnecting. New relationships developing. Routines underway. New classrooms explored. Students excited and learning already underway. I encourage you to ask your child about their first day of school during dinnertime tonight. In Marana schools, our educators and staff are committed to innovative, inspirational, and transformational learning. Our rigorous curriculum is based on standards that provide a consistent framework to give students the tools they need to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens. We are confident when every student graduates and leaves our District that they will be prepared with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary for success in an ever-changing society. As we begin the new year, we are pleased to have modern new furniture in most classrooms as well as access to mobile devices. New furniture, customized to individual student needs, provide teachers and students the opportunity to interact and collaborate as part of their learning environment. By incorporating 21st century technology and configurable furniture into the classroom, our District deepens the learning experience through higher levels of engagement and empowerment. Our educators and administrators work with parents and students to ensure that each child has opportunities to excel in all areas. We also encourage parents to take an active role in in their child's learning. To enhance that partnership, please sign up for MUSD Connection (ParentVue), make sure your email and telephone remain current, follow your child's school Facebook and District Facebook, and visit the District Website and your school's Website. In addition, the District values open, honest conversations about the issues that matter most to you. Therefore, we offer parents an online communications solution, Let's Talk! This innovative tool allows you to contact District and school leaders whenever it is convenient for you. In closing, our greatest wish is that each of our students will learn and grow; discover and pursue their passion; fulfill their dreams; be true to self; and live a life of great success. We recognize that each family we serve has a choice, and we are honored you have selected the Marana district for your child. Best wishes for a wonderful year. Pursuing Excellence, Doug Wilson, Ed.D.
