Our kindergarten teachers know a thing or two about the importance of reading!

The latest edition of MPUSD Community Updates is ready, and our Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School kindergarten team is encouraging families to do a little weekend reading of their own.

Catch up on the latest news, celebrations, opportunities and happenings from across MPUSD.

🔧 Behind every great school year is a team making it happen.

This is just one of many projects the Monterey High School custodial team has tackled this summer. In this case, they're clearing out storage areas and creating space for athletic equipment near the new lower field and District Office as they continue preparing campus for students, staff, and athletics.

From big projects to the everyday details, their hard work behind the scenes helps ensure our schools are ready to welcome everyone back. Thank you for everything you do!
