Metcalf students have collected 137 pounds of pop tabs this year!
These small tabs add up in a big way, helping support the Ronald McDonald House and families who need it most. Our students have been saving them since the beginning of the year, and we’ll do one final weigh-in the last week of school to see how high we can go.
Wildcats helping others. That’s what it’s all about.

Webinar: Helping Kids Build Healthy Relationships with Food & Their Bodies
Conversations about food and body image are a normal part of growing up. When these topics feel stressful or confusing, they can affect how kids feel about themselves and their relationship with food. In this webinar, Dana Sedlak, LCSW, CEDS-C, will share simple, supportive ways to help kids build healthy relationships with food and their bodies. Families will learn tools and everyday language to navigate common questions, worries, and moments around food and body confidence.
Update for MUSD families:
The bus serving the Duncan/York area has safely arrived in Morenci, and students are now at school.
If the road is not reopened by 2:00 pm, students who ride the yellow and green buses will be dismissed early, and the bus will depart at 2:30 pm to allow time to travel via Highway 191/70 so students arrive home as close to their regular scheduled time as possible.
Please note:
Students who get off at Fairgrounds, Steven’s Loop, McCarty Trail, and similar stops will arrive a few minutes earlier than normal because the route has been reversed.
If your child uses any of the following stops — CA Bar Bridge, Foothill Loop, Willow Creek, or Davis Ranch/La Cañada — please make arrangements to pick them up at Sexton’s Store.
Students who ride other buses to stops in Morenci, Clifton, Verde Lee/Loma Linda, and Babers Ranch Road/Guthrie will not be affected.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility today.
