Good Evening MHS Tiger Families,
We are getting so close to the start of the year! With just one week until we see everyone come to campus for Tiger Days, I want to send along a few important reminders.
The schedule is as follows:
SENIORS: (July 24) Tuesday – 7:30 – 3:00*
JUNIORS: (July 25) Wednesday – 7:30 – 3:00*
SOPHOMORES: (July 26) Thursday– 7:30 – 3:00*
FRESHMAN: (July 27) Friday– 7:30 – 3:00*
*When you arrive, please park in the West (Student) lot. The gym is just inside the gate and all of our services will be inside the gym.
MAKEUP: (July 30-31) Monday & Tuesday in the Front Office – 8:00 – 3:00
Please note the following:
- While we hope that you are able to attend on the day set aside for your class, we will welcome all students during any of the Tiger Days.
- Our school photographer, Life Touch, will be at Tiger Days. They will be taking the school pictures during these days. These pictures will also be used for IDs. Please know that IDs will be delivered to students in the first weeks of school. Life Touch will be on campus in mid-August to take pictures for students who missed Tiger Days and for students who need re-takes. We have elected to make this change so that we disrupt class time for school pictures to a lesser extent than in the past, and because we believe it will speed up the Tiger Days process.
- Monday and Tuesday, the 30th and 31st, we will be able to serve families and students in the Front Office. You will check in in the Attendance Office and you will have to walk to a few locations on campus to complete the process. We ask that you please do your best to complete our start-of-year processes before the school year begins so that your child's first day of school is uninterrupted.
Schedules will be available during Tiger Days, and will be posted on StudentVue & ParentVue after Tiger Days has ended. We have done our best to honor the requests made in the Spring by students and parents for the courses that they hoped to take and for free periods (for 11th and 12th grade students). Even with our best efforts, we sometimes are not able to meet all of the demands and we know that some changes of schedules must happen. However, we are only able to accommodate requests for changes to schedules for specified reasons. Our families will be able to meet with our counselors to change schedules during Tiger Days for the following reasons:
- To meet graduation requirements.
- Because of a course taken in the Summer.
- Because of empty class periods in the current schedule.
- Because of a lack of pre-requisite course.
We take a great deal of time in the Spring to communicate to parents and students that requests for courses that are Advanced Placement, Pre-AP, Dual Enrollment, or other advanced courses are of particular importance. This is because we are not able to make changes to enrollment in these courses until at least 4 ½ weeks.
We look forward to seeing all of our Tigers over the next few weeks and to begin our school year together.
Sincerely,
David Mandel
