Principal's Message
 

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

We are entering the third week of school (already) and progress reports will be coming out before we know it. If you have a moment please take a look at ParentVue and see how your child is doing in their classes. We have been working on our no opt-out policies and hope that will be evident in the grades that will soon be released. Our belief is that all students can learn and each student must demonstrate their own measurement for assessment. Our students must be engaged and produce work for our teachers to accurately measure their learning.

Another aspect of this system is that we must provide both hope and optimism for our students. Through feedback, re-assessments, Base Camp, Summit and our additional tiers we wish to provide both hope for students that are struggling and optimism for all of our students. It is vital for students to believe in themselves and the system for them to be successful and we are creating that environment in our classrooms each day.

Outside of the classroom, this week marks the beginning of the fall sports season. Please look at the calendar and come and support our Mountain Lions. All of our fall teams will take the field/court/poo/course this week and there are some very exciting early rivalry matches to kick off this season.

Have a great week and thank you for your support of our amazing school.

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

 

Students and Parents - The D-wing gate is 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.

College, Career, Counseling  

MVHS Parents/Guardians and Students,

MVHS counselors and the College and Career Center, will be meeting with all of our freshmen students during this week through their English classes. We are excited to get to know them better and introduce them to some important places and people on campus.

Additionally, counselors will be meeting with sophomore and junior students this Thursday and Friday, to re-introduce ourselves and remind them of the services that the counseling office provides.

Next week, MVHS counselors and the College and Career Center, will be meeting with all of our senior students to complete their senior advisement. 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.

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
