Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain View family,

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and that everyone had a chance to spend quality time with friends and family.

This is the last week of November. I am not sure who would believe that we are already turning the calendar to December and the final month of 2018.

As we reflect back on this year and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, our administrative team is ever grateful for the opportunity to work with each of our families, teachers, staff and students.

We do know how lucky we are to be at Mountain View serving all of you.

Our Winter sports season is kicking off and our Fine Arts department is also in full swing with performances. This is a great time to come to campus and experience all of the students as they represent Mountain View in their activities. Take a look at the calendar and join us on campus in December.

Also, as the quarter is nearing the end, please take a moment to visit ParentVue and help push your child to the end. This is the time of year that sees many projects and tests landing on students desks so please lean in and support them through this time. Together we can do it and get to the end of the first semester.

Have a great week and thank you again for all you do for our Mountain Lions.

Todd Garelick

Open Enrollment Now Open! Apply by Dec. 15!

All schools in the Marana Unified School District are open to all students, regardless of where they live! 

A student who currently attends a District school through open enrollment does not have to complete an Open Enrollment Application Form for the subsequent school year as long as they remain at the same school. 

If you know families that may be interested in attending our schools, encourage them to enroll now and be a part of an award-winning school district. We are confident we have a very special and educationally enriching experience to offer all of our students. www.maranausd.org/openenroll


From the MVHS Front Office,

All students should have their student ID with them at all times. If your student needs one, they can get one in the Bookstore.

Office Hours for Mountain View are 7:00 AM to 3:45 PM

Students and Parents - The D-wing gate is now open in the morning, please pull forward to drop off your student. Students without a Zero Hour will be allowed on campus at 8:00 AM. Students arriving late after last bell will need to go to the front office to enter campus.

With our increased security measures, students being picked up early need to enter the office near the library rather than the back office doors. 

Please do not park in the first 10 stops in front of the JTED building. Those are reserved for the preschool. Also, please do not make any U-turns in that area.

Parents:
Just a friendly reminder that any ill student that needs to go home must report to the health office before calling a parent. They can call their parent from the office.
We will not send passes up if parent arrives before the student reports to the health office.
Student may ask their teacher for a health office pass.

Parents, if your child is ill and you call them out as such, please keep them home. This will keep the germs from spreading. 

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.
