Yesterday afternoon district leaders were made aware of a bear sighting on campus near the woods and MWMS soccer field off Nininger Road. Consequently, all after school outdoor athletic events and practices at MWHS and MWMS were moved indoors or canceled. League games will be made up next week.
Another bear sighting was reported this morning. As a precaution, MWHS, MWMS and Central Valley students will remain indoors today for physical education and recess. The running track is closed for public use until further notice.
The district has contacted the Environmental Conservation police who will visit campus today to assess the situation. We will make a decision about this afternoon’s two home outdoor athletic events based on their findings and will share an update later today.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
