Behind every thriving school district is the people who pour their hearts into it, year after year. Last night, the Board of Trustees was proud to celebrate our staff members' years of service and retirements with the warmth and gratitude they so deserve.

Please join us in recognizing these dedicated individuals (see the full list here: http://mvw.sd/MwjVx) for their lasting impact on our students and families.

What does a year of hard work, dedication, growth and community look like in numbers? It looks like this!

The success of a school district takes teachers who go above and beyond, families who stay engaged, staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes and a community that believes in the power of public education.

The milestones and recognitions you'll see in this video are a direct reflection of the collective effort that defines who we are as a district. We're honored to share these wins with you!

This summer, our campus will undergo several important infrastructure improvements to increase school safety and efficiency.

Roofing Upgrades: At Mistral, new roofs will replace aging materials with lighter-colored surfaces that improve campus heating and cooling efficiency.

Bottle Fillers: New water bottle filling stations will be installed on campus, providing students and staff with convenient access to fresh drinking water throughout the school day.

Timeline: June 6-August 11, 2026

What to Expect:
The school field will remain open this summer, but areas under and near construction will be closed. Please follow all fencing, cones, and signage for your safety. Construction will typically happen during the weekdays, but it is possible that work will continue on the weekends. Expect some noise and truck traffic. We will work to minimize disruptions to the neighborhood. Thank you for your patience as we improve the campuses for the community.

Both Castro and Mistral are scheduled for the construction of outdoor learning areas in Summer 2027. New outdoor learning areas will include shaded seating, colorful play spaces, outdoor classrooms, gardens and native plants—supporting hands-on learning, student well-being and environmental stewardship

Thanks to our community, these improvements are the result of 2020’s Measure T bond. For more: https://www.mvwsd.org/construction

Thank you for your patience with construction as we work to upgrade the campus for our entire community.

As we observe Memorial Day, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the meaning of this important national holiday. Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We are grateful for their service.

MVWSD's Early Literacy Program was honored with a Glenn W. Hoffmann Award by the Santa Clara County School Boards Association (SCCSBA), supported by the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE).

Our Early Literacy Program provides targeted reading intervention, professional development, and family literacy events, all aimed at ensuring every student is reading by third grade. Our dedicated team of 11 site instructional coaches and 6 reading interventionists work across our schools, collaborating with teachers and specialists to provide students with the focused support they need.

SCCOE put together a wonderful video highlighting the program—please check it out! You may recognize some familiar faces.

A big thank you to SCCSBA for this meaningful honor and to SCCOE for capturing the experience of our program so beautifully!
