GUSD Income Survey - IMPORTANT!
Bear Families,
This year because of COVID-19 the USDA allows us to serve one free breakfast and one free lunch a day to ALL students for the 21-22 school year.
This made collecting free/reduced meal applications unnecessary, however we still need income data for the Local Control Funding Formula and Title 1 funding for our schools. Over half of our Mountain Avenue families still need to submit their annual re-enrollment in Parent Portal and at that time you will submit information that will support data for our funding. Our records show that your family has not completed the income survey for this school year.
It is easy!!
Log on to parent.gusd.net, update your contact information and complete the income survey. Please complete this by Friday, October 1st.
- Annual Student Information Update
- Go to parent.gusd.net
- Update your contact information
- AND complete your income survey
If you need further assistance, please call the school office at (818) 248-7766 this week so that we can complete the income survey over the telephone.
Thank you!
Principal Scott

We have suggested donation levels:
Bronze: $150/child, Silver: $300/family, Gold: $750/family, and Platinum: $1,000/family.
Every donation will receive a yard sign!
M.A.C.K. is proudly committed to supplying needed resources and programs no longer funded by the state and GUSD and strives to provide tools and resources for our students to succeed. Look for M.A.C.K. Minders during the month of October to tell you about various programs that M.A.C.K. currently funds, has funded in the past, and hopes to fund into the future – your contribution today helps to fund these programs, just as past donations are funding programs and resources your child benefits from today.
