Great Schools
Mission staff works above and beyond to guide and love our students. We know this and we want our community to hear about Mission's greatness. I encourage you to leave a positive comment about us on the Great School Website.
Teacher Announcements
Two more books for our library
- These two books feature Pacific Asian Islanders' history and customs. These offer students some insight into their unique ancestry, traditions, and contributions and serve to enhance our support for the implementation of the FAIR Act, recognizing the ongoing impact of diverse communities in our everyday life. These two new titles are now in our library.
Cafeteria News
- Gentle reminder to please have your students line up for lunch in alphabetical order.
- Students with allergies: we will start using the lanyards to assist with identifying students that have food allergies. Brenda will be contacting teachers personally regarding these students.

When leaving plans for subs, please include directions on how to access the technology. Here are two samples for primary and intermediate grades.
