Principal’s Message:
Dear Imai Families,
As an educator and a mom I was devastated to hear of another school shooting and can not fathom what the families are going through. No parent should have to worry about sending their child to school and not ever seeing them again. I am left wondering what we can do about it. How do we show 19 students and their teacher that their life mattered? I am left with questions I don’t know the answers to. Please feel free to reach out to me if you are having a tough time with this tragedy and need someone to talk to.

Please remember that this week we are collecting all K-2 chromebooks and next Tuesday and Wednesday, we are collecting upper grades. We need your support so please help us out by returning it before the deadline.

TK-4 grade students: Turn in Chromebooks by end of year
MVWSD is proud to provide a device for learning to every student, as well as access to the Internet both at home and school. Regular access to the Internet facilitates instruction by allowing students to research and communicate, and ensures equitable access to learning for all students.
Please help us keep our 1:1 program and student devices in good working order by making sure your children (grades TK-4 only) return their Chromebooks to their homeroom teachers before the last day of school. All students (grades TK-7) who are not returning in the fall should turn in Chromebooks by June 3.
If you are returning in the fall, your TK-4 student’s Chromebook will be re-issued to your student in August. For questions, please contact Jon Aker at [email protected].
View and comment on MVWSD’s Local Control Accountability Plan draft
The District is finalizing its draft of the LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan).

Stakeholders are now welcome to comment on the draft LCAP plan. You may read the presentation and supporting materials at mvwsd.org/lcap and make comments before May 25. Stakeholders may also attend the public hearing during the Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday, June 2 at 6 p.m. on Zoom (the link is: mvwsd.org/trustees).

MVEF: Additional ELA Teachers Next Year!
Due to increased support from our donors, MVEF has nearly met the stretch goal to raise an additional $300,000 to hire two additional English Language Arts teachers next year, one at each of the MVWSD middle schools. We are happy to announce that MVEF has committed the funds to the District so they can hire the ELA teachers. We are so grateful for the support we have received, and are looking forward to seeing the benefits of smaller class sizes to our students’ education next year!
