If you disagree with the MVWSD mandate for desk shields for grades k-8 then please sign this petition. 

Desk shields prevent them from having a feeling of normalcy and normalcy is something that kids need to succeed.   The shields prevent bonding between students with each other and with the teacher.  Elementary kids will have to carry them from classroom to classroom. How is this creating a feeling of normalcy?  How does this help a child’s mental health ?

Desk shields do not help per science and data.. See the article a posted in the MVWSD community forum on Facebook. 

The district upgraded all the filters to meet / above standards needed.  Thus desk shields are not needed   The new HVAC system improve the ventilation.

Please sign this petition.  We are requesting the Board of Trustees to repeal the mandate for desk shields.
