MVHS Parents/Guardians and Students,
MVHS counselors and the College and Career Center, will be meeting with all of our senior students this week, to complete their senior advisement through their English classes. This will include a presentation from the College and Career Center on important dates/deadlines, scholarships, financial aid, etc. This advisement also includes a one-on-one meeting with their counselor, where we will discuss credits, post-high school plans, and graduation status. This information will be sent home with your student and be mailed home as well.
Last week we were able to meet with all of our 9th, 10th and 11th grade students to introduce/re-introduce ourselves and remind students of the services that the counseling office provides and how we can help them to be successful during their time here at MVHS and beyond.
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.
