Congratulations MVMS!
Spring Break 2020
Next Phase of Distance Learning Plan
Today, Superintendent Dr. Marian Phelps sent an email to all PUSD families with the latest update regarding the next phase of PUSD's distance learning plan. Here are a few topics she touched upon.
Grading
PUSD will implement a temporary change to credit/no credit grading for all students for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. Students work will be assessed for participation, completion, progress, and feedback purposes only, "doing no harm to students."
Online Safety
Our students' safety is our highest priority. Teachers have been provided with the recommended Zoom settings in order to ensure maximum student safety and security. Parents, please remind your child that classroom codes and passwords should not be shared with others who are not part of their class.
Meals
Free meal distribution will continue during Spring Break. Lunch and Breakfast are served together, Monday through Friday, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Westview High School. To date, PUSD has served over 60,000 meals during the emergency school closures!

Continuing Student Registration Is Open

This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2020-2021 school year. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
