Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

Congratulations to Coach Spivey and the Boys Volleyball team. They competed this past Saturday in the Arizona State Championship match. Although the outcome was not as they would have hoped, they played incredibly hard and truly made their school and community very proud. Great job everyone!

This is final exam week for our seniors. We sent the schedule out last Friday and it is also attached to our Mountain Lion Monday this evening. There are a few changes to the schedule from previous years so please take a look at the schedule. All other semester exams will be administered next week.

Thursday will be our senior BBQ – all seniors are invited to attend and receive free food – come out to the stadium and enjoy. Friday will be our College Signing Day and Grad Walk. If you are a parent of a member of the Class of 2019 please come see your child walk through the halls of our feeder schools and celebrate their commencement. This is one of our favorite events all year. CSD begins at 8 a.m. in the auditorium with a very special guest speaker. Grad Walk will follow and we hope to have our buses loaded by 9 a.m.

Graduation is on Tuesday, with the festivities beginning at 8 p.m. on Wayne Jones Field. Come help us celebrate our Class of 2019!

The last day for our teachers is Thursday, May 23rd.  There will be a party that morning for us to thank our teachers. If you are able, please go to this link and help us provide breakfast for our staff.Please click here to sign up.

Have a great week.

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. 

"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.

MVHS Parent(s) and Guardian(s),

In just a few weeks we will be heading into triple digit temperatures and monsoon season. While summer can be full of fun adventures and vacations, research shows that students lose up to two months' worth of reading and math skills! In order to help curb this slide, we have included some ideas for this summer in our attached newsletter to help keep your student's mind stay engaged while enjoying their break.
