Dear Families,
We are coming up on the end of Semester 1! Semester 1 ends on Friday, Dec. 18, and this is an early release day. Winter Break is Dec. 21-Jan. 4 and we begin Semester 1 on Tuesday, Jan. 5. I just want to remind you that student grades are recorded in our Student Management System and you can access these grades through ParentVue and StudentVue. Grades reported in Google Classroom, Edgenuity, or any other platforms are not students' official grades. Official course grades are in ParentVue or StudentVue. If you don't have a ParentVue account, please email Molly Colgan at: mcolgan@musd20.org.
At this time, we have collected and made note of all changes from online to in-person instruction for Semester 2. If you would like your student to come back to campus for in-person instruction in Semester 2, your student will be placed on a waiting list. Please contact Molly Colgan at: mcolgan@musd20.org if you have not already informed us that you would like to make this change.
Semester 1 final exams are approaching quickly! Please have students take advantage of after school virtual tutoring as they prepare for their final exams. The link to sign up is below.
Thank you,
Carlos Alvarado
