Principal's Message

Dear McGaugh Families, 

Tomorrow, we'll take another huge step forward toward a post-pandemic era as a community. As Dr. Pulver stated in an email address to all Los Al families,  face coverings are no longer required indoors for staff, students, and visitors on school campuses, buses, and at school events, as of Saturday, March 12, 2022. Masking is a choice for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status. Our teachers have done a fantastic job facilitating discussions with students about the shift they will see on campus tomorrow. They emphasized that the new guidance may come with mixed feelings from members of our school community. Some Sea Lions and their families welcome the shift, while others may not. Despite our students' and families' choices, we support each other with kindness, respect, empathy, and understanding.

I look forward to seeing you all on campus whether you are wearing a mask or not wearing a mask!

Project SEEK has been working hard to put together an evening filled with dinner, dancing, fantastic silent and live auction items, and fun to help fund the Art Lab, Innovation Lab, and Media Center at McGaugh.

Each year, Project SEEK must raise upwards of $130,000 for these programs to continue at our school. The Event is the largest fundraiser of the year, usually raising over $100,000! With your support, we can continue these programs next year and the year after.Here is what you need to know...
