Attention Families of Juniors
BreakDown Tucson Performance
On February 13, we are hosting a special Junior assembly from BreakDown Tucson. BreakDown Tucson is a group of local teens who bring a powerful, dynamic message to their peers. They do this through relevant drama scenes, contemporary and hip-hop dance, and state of the art sound, lighting and visual media. BreakDown Tucson educates by promoting personal health and by proposing ways to prevent health problems through honest dramatizations about drug use, alcohol use, teen pregnancy, date-rape, sexually transmitted infections, depression, suicide and more. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend this engaging performance. If you would like to learn more about BreakDown Tucson, please follow the enclosed link.
Attendance at this assembly is completely voluntary. Please take some time to talk with your student about this presentation. Students who do not wish to attend will remain in a classroom or will have a quiet study time in the library. If at any time during the presentation, a student feels uncomfortable with the presentation or the topic, the student may leave the presentation and go to the library for study time or to the counseling office to meet with one of our counselors.
The performance begins at 11:15a.m, and ends in time for lunch at 12:31p.m.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this presentation, or if you prefer that your student not attend this event, please contact Associate Principal Robin Meece R.C.Meece@maranausd.org, Prevention Coordinator Allyson DiPietro A.J.DiPietro@maranausd.org or Prevention Wellness Coach Karina Duarte K.M.Duarte@maranausd.org.

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.
