Happy National School Lunch Week!

Who better to help Dr. Rudolph get his lunch than our very own kindergarteners? Check out this video to see how it went: https://t.co/vuBDKd2nFd.

P.S. We’re still working on the broccoli… 🥦

MVWSD Trustees visited Castro Elementary this morning and saw lots of great learning happening on campus. Kinders learned about gravity through a fun outdoor STEAM activity, and Superintendent Rudolph helped our fifth graders with multiplying numbers with decimals.

Thank you @VargasElem Second graders! I loved your questions and your smiles. The mob hug at the end made my day! ❤️

Research shows that school attendance is a strong indicator of success. It's about students learning what they need to know, belonging to the school community, and being part of the team that is preparing them with good habits for high school. https://t.co/agPbKqHEsS

Attendance Awareness Tip: Family vacations or travel are not excused absences – even when you inform your teacher or the office. We appreciate you letting us know so that you will not receive a call from the auto-dialer asking you to verify the absence. https://t.co/agPbKqHEsS

Dr. Rudolph and the construction team visited the future site of staff and teacher housing today. The 144- unit staff housing facility on Shoreline at Middlefield will provide below-rate rents for district teachers and staff when it opens in 2024.

#COVID19 is still with us.

Please wear the best mask you can – especially in indoor settings or when traveling. Choose a mask with good fit and filtration (N95 and KN95 masks are best). Double masking is also good (a surgical mask plus a cloth mask on top).
