​ Help Your Child Succeed in School

School success goes hand in hand with good attendance! Every day is important. Many MPUSD students miss 10 percent of the school year - about 18 days a year or just two days every month. Chronic absenteeism in kindergarten, can predict lower test scores, poor attendance, and retention in later grades.
 
If your child will be out for 3-14 days, please arrange to have an Independent Study Contract completed through the office at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the absence. For more information please click here.
