Flu Vaccine:
The California Department of Public Health strongly recommends that all students and staff be immunized each autumn against influenza, to help:
Protect the school community
Reduce demands on health care facilities
Decrease illnesses that cannot be readily distinguished from COVID19 and would therefore trigger extensive measures from the school and public health authorities.

Hello Mission Crest Families,
This is Mr. Plescia with an important message. As you hopefully have heard from our Superintendent, Dave Olney, Hesperia Unified School District is postponing the start of Hybrid learning until after Winter Break with a target start date the second week in January. As your home school, we are continuing the process of preparing for Hybrid Learning and the return of students. After Thanksgiving Break which is the week of November 21st - 29th, you will receive notification on your child’s hybrid learning group assignments. Also, I will be sending out more detailed information on Hybrid learning in preparation for the return of students in January. Have a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving Break.
