INCLEMENT WEATHER/NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
On occasion, poor weather conditions or other emergencies may arise which make it necessary to delay the start of school, dismiss early or close school. Families will need to have a plan in place that addresses the change in routine when these situations arise.
- Log into your Skyward Family Access account and click on Skylert in the toolbar on the left hand side, confirm your cell phone number is in the "Text Messages Numbers" field in the Skylert tab in Skyward.
- Text Y to the number 67587.
PEER TUTORING
There is a peer tutoring program here at the high school that runs during lunch ASC and after school. Please note that this will be beneficial for your child should they need help with catching up on missing work, studying for finals, or to enhance their learning.
The lunch and after school tutoring meets in room 105. For lunch tutoring, your student can get their lunch and bring it to room 105 and work with a peer tutor.
I hope you will encourage your child to attend this valuable service as needed to help with their learning and graduation on track goals. Please reach out to either Mrs. Twaddle (twaddlet@mcusd185.org) or Mrs. Thompson (thompsonbr@mcusd185.org), our program sponsors, if you should have any questions.
