Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

Thank you to everyone that attended our Open House last week. We were very appreciative that you were able to attend and learn from our teachers on what to look forward to this year.

For those able to see the new College, Career and Life Skills Center we hope you enjoyed the new building and are making plans to come visit our College and Career Center.

We have been very busy the last few weeks and feel like we can now settle in and get down to school. Gandhi once said, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." We hope we are able to inspire your children to become life-long learners. Through collaboration and innovation, relationships, rigor and relevance, our goal is to ensure learning happens every single day at Mountain View. That said, we ask that you hold us to that. Please reach out to me, my administrative team and our staff if you feel like we are not hitting the mark please let us know so we can address it immediately. Another quote, listed as Anonymous, states, "If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you." We want all of our students determined to learn.

This week we begin the regular season for fall sports. Please come and support our programs and celebrate with our students. These are indeed special days and they go by so quickly. Also, mark your calendar for Homecoming on September 21st. Your Mountain Lions will host Cienega at Wayne Jones Field at 7 p.m. with the Homecoming festivities beginning earlier that afternoon.

As always thank you for supporting Mountain View High School and have a great week.

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,

MVHS counselors and the College and Career Center, will be meeting with all of our freshmen students during the weeks of August 27th & September 3rd through their English classes. We are excited to get to know them better and introduce them to some important places and people on campus.

We encourage all MVHS students to get to know their counselor as soon as possible. The more we know about them and their future plans or any concerns they may have, the better we can help. If your student would like to make an appointment with their counselor, please have them see Ms. Sims in counseling.
