Valentine's Day Celebrations
We will be participating in the Great Kindness challenge this week and have spirit days for students to participate in. Classroom teachers have plans to make the day special for our students while continuing on with our main focus of educating students and participating in the kindness challenge activities for the week.
Following our mitigation plans, like all other holidays we are not having Valentine's Day Parties this year. Unfortunately, Valentine's cards and treats will also not be allowed to be brought by students and families to school this year.
It's that time of year again

PLEASE keep your child home if they are sick
MSBSD School Calendar Survey- REPEAT
The District routinely establishes school calendars which span multiple school years to assist our families in planning upcoming events and travel in alignment with school schedules. We are seeking input from families to understand your preferences related to the school year’s structure. Please share your thoughts with us by completing a brief survey which can be accessed HERE.
It will be our intent next year to convene the School Calendar Planning Committee and complete a more comprehensive look at the school calendar including a multi-year published calendar. Charter schools have the ability to recommend school calendar’s which do not follow the District adopted calendar. You can find the approved calendar’s for the current year for all schools on our website at www.matsuk12.us/domain/3375
Returning to school after travel
Nutrition Services Information- All students receive FREE breakfast and hot lunch for the remainder of the year
The USDA announced they have extended this waiver through June 30, 2021 or
until the end of the school year. Nutrition Services will continue to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost for the remainder of the school year. This is for both At-School and At-Home Learners. As a reminder, if At-Home Learners would like meals, parents are to contact our Server-Cashiers to arrange for pickup times at curbside.

You can also find all of our previous Musk Ox Memos below with lots of information. The first part of the Memo is school-wide information. Each grade level has buttons in which you can then find your child's teacher's weekly newsletter.
The Musk Ox Memo link does not change on a weekly basis and it is also emailed to parents every Sunday Night at 7pm for your convenience.
