Mission Crest Elementary School

Good Morning Mission Crest Family, the Hesperia Unified School District has called inclement weather for today, Monday, January 25, 2021. To help clarify, this means that distance learning is still in session and your child will have class from home as usual. However, the lunch distribution and cohorts are cancelled. Grade levels may modify today’s schedule for various reasons. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Mission Crest front office. Please be safe and enjoy the beautiful snow.

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.
