McKinleyville Union School District Home

Superintendent's Message

August 13, 2020

Dear MUSD Families and Students,

Last night, our McKinleyville Union School District Board of Trustees voted to begin school in a Distance Learning Model, with Monday, August 31, 2020 as our first day of school. MUSD administration and the Board of Trustees will continue to reevaluate school reopening for in-person instruction at six week intervals. We remain committed to returning to on-campus learning as soon as it is determined safe.

A letter indicating your child’s teacher assignment as well as information regarding beginning of the year activities will be sent home on August 27th.

MUSD will loan devices to students in need from our inventory of iPads and Chromebooks. Communication about how to access devices will be forthcoming on our district website: www.mckusd.org.

Our Food Services Program will be offering breakfast and lunch pick-up at each of our three school sites. Additional Food Services information will be forthcoming on our district website including days and times for meal pick-up. To apply for free or reduced meals, please complete the application at: www.ezmealapp.com

Thank you for your commitment to McKinleyville schools. We look forward to continuing a strong partnership with all of our students, families, and community.

Warm Regards,

Heidi Moore-Guynup, Superintendent

Julie Giannini-Previde, Principal-Dow’s Prairie Elementary

Tiffany Maher, Principal, Morris Elementary

Elwira Salata, Principal, McKinleyville Middle School

Social Emotional Well-Being and Additional Resources

It is natural to feel stress, anxiety, grief, and worry during and after a disaster. Everyone reacts differently, and your own feelings will change over time. Notice and accept how you feel. Taking care of your emotional health during an emergency will help you think clearly and react to the urgent needs to protect yourself and your family. Self-care during an emergency will help your long-term healing (CDC). Please see the following resources for further information and support: Text HOME to 741741 to connect with a Crisis Counselor.
