Principal's Message

Good (cold) evening Mountain View family,

We are in December. There is a line from a Counting Crows song from many years ago that said, "A long December and there's reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last." When I heard that song again recently it made me think that one of the things I wish for our students every day is that they leave Mountain View each day better than the last. The hope is that they learn something new each and every day they are on campus. The hope is that they have grown mentally and have been challenged – that not only will this year be better than the last but that each day is better than the last. The lyrics continue with "…now the days go by so fast…" which is exactly why this installment started with the statement that we are in December. It really has been a very good school year. And it has gone by so fast it seems we cannot quite catch up.

For our students, they have one more big week of school then most classes will head into finals review. Our semester final exams will take place the week of December 17th. For our parents, we again urge you to look at Parent Vue and make sure that your child is caught up on their assignments and that they are aware of what is coming up in regards to finals. We are hopeful that all of our students are prepared for their finals and are able to perform at their highest level. If there are questions about grades or assignments please reach out to your child's teachers this week. It is important to remedy these concerns as soon as possible and not delay until the end of the semester.

Have a great first week of December and enjoy the cold temperatures.

Traffic Update:
Pima County will be finishing up the construction on Thornydale near the Linda Vista this week. Traffic to school will be effected, so plan accordingly. Please remember during this time to be kind and respectful to your fellow motorists. We are all in this together.

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.
