MDUSD looking forward to successful in-person school year
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA (Aug. 19, 2021) —March 13, 2020, is a day that many of us will never forget because that was the day schools throughout California closed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
With that said, Aug. 12, 2021, began a new chapter for all stakeholders within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD).
On behalf of the MDUSD governing board, I want to welcome all students back to the full opening of our schools. Faculty and staff throughout the district have worked nonstop to ensure a smooth implementation of hashtag #FallForAll. Which means that in the fall, all of our schools are open for all students.
With this reopening, the continued health and safety of all is our top priority. Protocols such as face coverings, at-home self-check health screenings, hygienic procedures, and increased air circulation in classrooms and buses will continue to be in effect. Although these procedures continue to evolve, be assured MDUSD will follow recommendations from the California Department of Public Health. (Click here)
MDUSD leadership will inform parents, students, staff and the community of changes in health and safety practices if/when guidance is changed in a manner that impacts our community.
We are committed to providing high-quality instruction to all of our students. The 2021-’22 academic year efforts will concentrate on learning acceleration, educational equity and social emotional learning.
Partnering with parents
By partnering with parents, families and the community, we are dedicated to ensuring all students are prepared for college and careers. In order for this goal to come to fruition, the faculty and staff will recognize the unique gifts that each student possesses while providing ongoing instruction and support.
The 2021-’22 academic year will also see a full return of extracurricular activities. Sports, performing arts, field trips and clubs will all be offered throughout the year. Although we know there will be some restrictions and challenges, we are confident that these essential learning activities can flourish.
Please keep abreast of our progress throughout this exciting year. Visit our website for the latest news, pertinent information and highlights of student learning.
On a personal note, I would like to thank our parents who have entrusted us with their most valuable gift – our students.
