On the TRAIL - for Staff
April 12-16
We are MT - MUSTANG STRONG!
Welcoming some students 4 days a week!
Families and Staff will be able to see who is coming on which days in Synergy as of Monday. EGUSD tech rolled it over this weekend and we will double check numbers on Monday. While preliminary numbers looked good, if there is any class where size is an issue, specific families will be notified if their request could not be fulfilled.
What if a family changes their mind after Monday?
- Parent/guardian must call the front office to make their request.
- If the request is able to be fulfilled (based on space and health/safety guidelines), the student would start the following week.
What if the student isn't attending in person but it is noted that they are intending to come?
- We will be calling students who have not been attending in person to see if their desire has changed.
- This will help us to know the actual spaces available.
- If a family no longer wishes to have the student attend in person, please make the change officially with the front office so we can make space for others who wish to attend in person and to help our staff know who is on campus daily.
Chromebooks are still available for anyone who has changed to in person and does not have one issued already. Contact the front office.
Front office hours - 7:30-4 via appointment or phone call 916-688--0050.
Thank you to all for making the first week a success. Let's keep doing our best for our Mustangs. We are MT - Mustang Strong and always finding a way!
Reach out if you need help and let's have a great week!
Go Mustangs!

Respecting each other's safety - following the protocols
Help us to be safe by:
- wearing the mask correctly (over nose and mouth)
- We must wear them on campus now. See past emails about when/where and how to properly wear the mask.
Let's be sure to follow all safety protocols including but not limited to:
- use the daily checklist and do not come to campus if any experiencing any symptoms
- wear masks when on campus
- social distance 6ft or more
- use zoom or phone for conversations or go outdoors when possible
These will still be in place even if you are vaccinated.
Avoid eating together in the same space and do not share food - this has been a main contributor to close contacts in schools
Seniors see Synergy emails from Mr. Grivel and Ms. Green for vital information throughout the rest of the year
What if our students need a Chromebook or have an issue with a current one?
The student/family should contact the front office during work hours 7:30-4 Mon-Fri (except holidays)
916-688-0050
Individuals will be told when and how to pick up a Chromebook on a case by case basis. It will not occur at distribution for term 4.

We are excited to get to see our students compete and will communicate when we know more details.
