We just had our first full week with all our scholars at Marina High and it was so refreshing to see that they understand and respond well to our teachers' expectations. This is a clear reflection of your work as parents guiding your students in what can be a very complicated experience. Yet, what I observed this past week was very positive and very encouraging.
This week I am sharing a couple of videos that our Link Crew Leadership class created. The first video was shared in all classrooms as part of the different connecting activities our teachers practiced with our scholars. It covers classroom etiquette which is one of the different school-wide Tier I expectations:
Additionally, since our Fall sports season is about to start, I am also asking for your support when you come and enjoy our events in the stadium. Once again, our Link Crew student leaders created the following video reminding us ways to ensure we all have a good time each time we come to watch an event. We do want our community to gather and walk away with a fun and safe experience. Please take a moment to watch and remember to support us by following the guidelines shared.
Thank you again for all your support. Together we are ensuring our kids have the best experience in high school yet.
Let's have a great week and Go Mariners! José A Quevedo jquevedo@mpusd.k12.ca.us Office: (831) 583-2060 ext. 3789 Cell: (831) 353-145

Waiting on your student's bus pass? Don't worry! We're hard at work processing bus passes, and it may take a little time as we prepare for the new school year. Good news: Students who ride the bus will not be required to show a bus pass until Monday, August 31, 2026. They can continue riding the bus while passes are being processed. Still need to request a bus pass? Visit www.mpusd.net/bus-passes. Thank you for your patience as we get everyone ready for a smooth start to the school year!
