We will foster a sense of belonging and interconnectedness across ALL MVUSD campuses where students will:

• find the motivation to attend school regularly
• Maintain positive behavior and grades to remain eligible for participation
• build positive relationships with peers and adults
• develop school pride through competitive rivalries
• explore CTE, SEL, and STEAM learning opportunities that prepare them for college and career.

​

Mission

Scholastic Esports will empower students to become future ready and positively impact the world.

Raise School Connectedness as measured by the annual Panorama survey by 2% each year at Elementary (currently 77%) and 4% at Secondary (currently 51%) by targeting students who remain uninvolved in any other extracurricular activity.

RCoe Performed a data study on 627 mvusd esports students

Attendance

​

Esports participants attended school for 7.34 more days on average than non-participants in 2022-2023.

​

• This captured an additional $354,000 in ADA.

​

​

​

Remember this covers 627 students. We are approaching 1,800 participating in Esports, so the number can be extrapolated to ~$1,000,000 captured.

11

Attendance

​

A statistical model, controlling for various demographics including prior attendance rates, demonstrated that Esports participants had a 19.3% lower absent rate than non-participants.

​

• Esports students were absent

2,854 less days than they were

the prior year.

​

​

​

Remember this covers 627 students. We are approaching 1,800 participating in Esports, so the number can be extrapolated to ~8,562 less days absent.

suspensions

…more likely to have never been suspended in 2022-23*
