As the school year kicks off, we urge all families to prioritize school zone safety—not just on the first day, but throughout the entire year. Whether you’re driving or walking, staying focused and avoiding distractions are key to keeping our students safe.

Drivers, please maintain a speed of 25 MPH or lower and always be alert for pedestrians. Pedestrians, remember to use caution when crossing streets and avoid stepping out from between parked cars. Let’s work together to ensure that safety remains a top priority every single day this school year!

Please watch this short video from the California Highway Patrol.

On Saturday, August 10th, MCSD and Golden Valley Health Centers partnered to provide free sports physicals to over 178 student athletes. Sports physicals are an essential part of ensuring that students are healthy and ready to play upcoming sports. We are thrilled to continue providing this amazing opportunity to all 3rd-8th grade students.

We look forward to cheering on our MCSD athletes all year long!

We were thrilled to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the new Ranchero School-Based Health Clinic, a partnership with Golden Valley Health Centers.

This clinic is a step forward in ensuring equitable healthcare access for ALL MCSD students and families. Located within walking distance of Franklin and Stefani Elementary Schools, this clinic will ensure nearly 800 students and their families will have easier access to healthcare.
