A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens | | | Good evening Mountain Lion family, Rain. I am not sure anybody remembers the last time it rained in Tucson. I was very much a skeptic when the weather app on my phone showed rain for Monday and was very pleasantly surprised to see and hear it this morning. The cold temperatures also reminded us that we truly are in November. This has been such a challenging school year that at times it is hard to remember we are closer to the end of the first semester than we really are. That said, please remember that we are off Wednesday for Veterans Day, have Thanksgiving fast approaching and semester exams the week of December 14th. This will be a sprint to the end and we ask that you keep an eye on ParentVue for information on your child's grades. Have a fantastic four day week and please take a look at the important messages below. Thank you very much. With winter sports getting ready to begin, Southern Arizona Urgent Care is offering free sports physicals. Please visit https://southernarizonaurgentcare.com/ for more information. Also, all winter athletes need to go to https://registermyathlete.com/ to complete their profile, which will allow them to attend tryouts. Basketball, soccer and wrestling begin on November 9th. Have a great week and again, thank you. Veterans Day Week: Cohort Schedule The week after next, MUSD does not have school on Wednesday, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day.
