Representatives for the Committee for the 42nd Annual Confucius Memorial Ceremony joined our MUSD leaders at our Sept. 26 meeting in adopting Resolution 2024.10 Honoring the 2,573rd Anniversary of the Birth of Confucius, which recognizes Confucius' invaluable contributions to philosophy, social and political thought.

The Los Dichos parents of Randall World Languages School were honored for their volunteer service and support of our MUSD students and learners. LosDichos is a program that allows parents to be reading volunteers in the classroom. Every month our parent volunteers and the coordinator, Raquel Villalobos, meet and organize the activities for the book of the month. Along with reading to classes, these amazing volunteers plan and do crafts activities that go with the books as well as analyze and talk about the message or teaching that the book is giving.

Working to improve upon a 95% average daily attendance for the 22-23 school year, the district and school sites have collaborated to engage, inform, and support our students and families around positive attendance. Studies indicate that when students are present, they increase their opportunities for learning and growing individually and as a citizen of their school community. As a district, MUSD is committed to reaching a 97% average daily attendance for the 23-24 school year. Staff shared attendance data comparatives and strategies of engagement to support sites, parents and students. Click for Presentation slides
