Student Technology – Please have the important conversation with your student regarding their responsibility of borrowing and taking care of a SPS device during the school year. Replacing a damaged iPad ($250) or laptop ($350) could be at the expense of the family. All devices must be handled responsibly and with care. Thank you.
John Muir After-School Childcare Survey for 2023-24 – Please complete this survey to help build the afterschool program at John Muir for the next school year. It will only take a few minutes! The survey doesn’t guarantee a spot in aftercare but is just a tool to assess the need. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1O0zG51ZEdIH5atxleWnvl2gARSOkz6O1Dbrj_ixF-Co/viewform?edit_requested=true
