A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday Principal's Message Good evening Mountain View family, Welcome back. The first day of school was great. There is something exciting when the doors open and the students come back in with their hopes for a great new school year. As always we have so many wonderful things to offer our students. I had the opportunity to speak to our new students and freshman as well as their families on Friday. The biggest message we can impart on our students is to find themselves. Do not let others change you but rather find change within yourself. Challenge yourself. Don't give up. And, maybe most importantly, have GRIT! We want to challenge each and every student to develop this trait and use it throughout their lives. We also will continue to focus on three goals at Mountain View this year. Those goals are Relationships, Rigor and Relevance. Throughout the school year we will share examples of each of these as they are demonstrated by our staff, students and our community. We truly hope to provide the greatest school year and experience for everyone. We are proud of our school and the vision of Mountain View and are grateful to have you along for the journey. Thank you. Todd Garelick Principal Mountain View High School (520) 579-4427 Things to Know   Parents/Guardians Please note that charging for lunch is no longer allowed. Students must have credit on their account to receive lunch. A Note from the Attendance Office When a student's absence or late arrival may be excused, the parent/guardian should communicate with the Attendance Office so that the absence or late arrival will be appropriately recorded. "STUDENT ABSENCES" In order to request that an absence be excused, the parent/guardian must call and leave a message on the Attendance Line within 24 hours of the absence. The Attendance Line voicemail is available 24/7 at 520-579-4444. If a "request to excuse" message is not received, the attendance clerks will attempt to contact the parent/guardian so they may properly record the student's absence(s). If no response is received from the parent/guardian the absence(s) will be recorded as unexcused. "STUDENT LATE ARRIVALS" Unless excused, a student's late arrival(s) are recorded as "Unexcused Tardy/Late". If a parent/guardian would like to request that the late arrival(s) be excused, the parent/guardian must either come into the school with the student and provide the late excuse to the Front Office staff, or call the Attendance Line voicemail at 520-579-4444 and leave a "request to excuse" message for the late arrival. Please note: the Attendance Office does not contact parents/guardians regarding late arrivals. College, Career, Counseling   MVHS Parents/Guardians and Students, Welcome back to MVHS!
