TK-2 Waiver Approved For Manhattan Beach Elementary Schools

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA —

November 5, 2020

Dear MBUSD Community,

This afternoon, I received notification that all five elementary schools in MBUSD were approved for the TK-2 Waiver that we applied for on October 23. I will be communicating with our teachers and staff tomorrow, and I will provide more details about this re-opening in my Monday Morning Message. I am thrilled that our preparations and our health and safety protocols met all of the requirements set forth by the County and the State. I am also grateful for the support of our unions, our employees, and our community. While not all of our employees or our students will be returning to campus, we will continue to provide a high quality distance learning program during this time.

If you are a parent of a TK-2 student, and you have not yet turned in your decision, please do so no later than tomorrow (click here for survey). Once I have received all parent requests, we can make the necessary class changes to address the needs of all stakeholders and I can provide a start date for our TK-2 Hybrid.

I look forward to implementing this phase of our return to school plan and I thank you all for your patience and support.

Thanks and stay safe,

Mike Matthews, Ed.D.
