Mustang News for Families
Hello Mustang Families,
It is almost halftime. We coming up on the end of the 9th week of our 18 week semester. This is a perfect time to Celebrate Success and Embrace Challenges. Thank you for going above and beyond as families and staying consistent with schedules, routines, and organization. Middle schoolers thrive on consistency. Don't give up, it's only halftime!
We have a date of January 5th for the next step in our 20-21 school year. We are very excited about the strong possibility that we will be back on campus (in cohorts) in January. We are equally excited for our students that will remain entirely online even after January as we get better at online instruction every day. We will continue our focus on Connection, Consistency, and Challenge to guide us as a Mustang Family for this very unique school year.
Here is the latest news on the TVUSD School Reopening Plan.
It is normal to ask questions, seek clarification, and provide feedback as we partner together in this journey towards a transition. Thank you for connecting with us first so we can continue our work as partners together.
Thank you for your help in making the Margarita Family so great!

These short discussions focus on ways to help your student. Teachers will schedule via Zoom to briefly meet with you regarding your child’s progress.
If your student is successful at this time, scheduling parent conferences is not required.
