Letter from MUSD Superintendent: SpeakUp

MUSD Letterhead

October 30, 2019


Dear MUSD Parent/Guardian:

The Marana Unified School District considers the safety and well-being of students to be our highest priority. We believe it is the right of every student to be educated in a positive, safe, caring, and respectful learning environment, free from bullying and threats of violence, crisis, weapons, fights, and other urgent situations.

We also recognize that we live in a fast-paced, constantly changing world where the use of technology and online communications are prevalent. It is more important than ever that we are proactive and provide trusted and simple tools for students to easily report threats and concerns.

To this end, I am pleased to share that the District has partnered with Gaggle to implement a 24/7 SpeakUp safety tip line where students, parents, and community members can email, call, or text a concern about student safety issues and threats. Call or Text - (520) 518-4181 or Email - speakup@stu.maranausd.org.

In addition to this early-warning safety tip line, Gaggle proactively assists our District 24/7/365 in the prevention of harmful situations by providing real-time monitoring of electronic communications on MUSD school-provided technology. Through these proactive efforts, aligned with our security and internet safety measures, we can receive notifications of signs of self-harm, depression, thoughts of suicide, substance abuse, cyberbullying, and credible threats of violence against others.

It is our belief that this tool is another valuable resource in our ongoing commitment to provide a safe and secure learning environment. Additional information and a video regarding Gaggle SpeakUp safety tip line can be found online at https://www.gaggle.net/resource/speakup-2/.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for all that you do to support the Marana district. By continuing to work together, we make our schools and community a great place to be. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to our District Safety & Security Coordinator, Greg Roehm, at 520-682-1007 if you have any additional questions specific to our safety tip line.

Regards,

Doug Wilson, Ed.D.
Superintendent

Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

The temperatures this week will finally feel like Fall. And, with Halloween coming up on Thursday it's nice that kids can wear their costumes and not feel too hot. Or, as I have experienced in other places I have lived, kids can wear their costumes without a jacket over them as well.

Congratulations to the Pride of Mountain View Band on their performance at the University of Arizona Band Day. And, a congratulations to our Cheer program and their awards from their event at Amphitheatre on Saturday. This Friday is Senior Night for Band, Cheer, Sports Medicine and Football. Come join the festivities at Wayne Jones Field. We also will be hosting our Mountain View Meet Yourself event in the service drive prior to the game. In case you missed it, we had a great live performance by Mr. Armstrong's band last Friday – great job Mr. Armstrong!

This Friday we are doing a "Data Dive" with our staff as we reflect on the 1st quarter. I wanted to share a few of the things that certainly got our attention as we prepared for this week:

  1. Our attendance has gone up from the beginning of the school year – this is significant, we feel, as it is hard to move that needle and we feel that more kids are coming to school because of Hope and Optimism.
  2. Our failure rates are significantly lower when compared to the last two school years. This year we are only assessing students on standards and not compliance. We are producing more valid and accurate grades. The increased passing rates are a positive sign to be sure.
  3. Our overall discipline has decreased. There are a few blips that are moving up, and as we have shared on numerous occasions, these are related to vaping and other similar items. This epidemic is one that we will continue to confront and one that we truly want to help our students and families overcome. This week we will start sharing messages through our Facebook and Twitter regarding these items and the dangers they have created.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, our Grad Night program is in dire need of help. Unfortunately, our Grad Night chair had to step down and we are concerned about losing this great event. This is our call for help. If you can organize, plan and have a heart for this event, PLEASE reach out to Anne Abel at abelfamily7@outlook.com or Angela Chintis at achintis@gmail.com for more information. And, thank you in advance for any and all help.

Have a great week!

Graduation Image
College, Career, Counseling  

MVHS Parents,

On Tuesday, October 22nd, MVHS Counselors and Student Support Staff met with all of our freshmen students in Bio/Bio-Med. Students were introduced to the differences between MVHS graduation requirements and In-State University "Sweet 16" entrance requirements, national and school specific risk factors that can cause them to be at-risk for on time graduation, and what they can do to remain on track/get back on track for graduation.

Risk factors for not graduating on-time include:

  • Missing 20 days or being absent 10% of total school days in a year
    At MVHS, 10 or more absences (even excused) in any 1 class each semester, puts your student at risk
  • 2 or more mild or serious behavior infractions
  • GPA less than 2.0, and/or 1 or more failures in core classes (failure to accumulate 5 credits freshman year)

You will receive a letter via USPS, completed by your student(s) that outlines whether or not they have any of the risk factors that can contribute to not graduating on-time. We encourage you to talk to your student, to see if they have identified themselves as having any of the above risk factors. With or without these risk factors, students still have time to make a positive change to their grades and graduation progress before the end of the semester.

If you have any questions or concerns in regards to your student graduation status, please do not hesitate to contact their school counselor  at 520-570-4450

Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain View family,

Welcome back to school and the beginning of the second quarter. We hope everyone enjoyed their break and had the opportunity to spend time with family. We are right back at it and excited to continue our mission at Mountain View. We also are excited to work with our teachers and students as we continue to transform our teaching and grading practices on our campus.

When we reflect on the first quarter and the shifts we made at our school we are very encouraged. A quote I saw recently said, "The best view comes after the hardest climb." (author unknown) In so many ways that encapsulates what we desire for our students at Mountain View. The process of learning can be very difficult and the demands on our students have never been greater. Yet, after all of the hard work and dedication to learning, the view is different. The view is better. Another quote, from Dr. Seuss, might say it even better – "Be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember life is a great balancing act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains." Simple. Concise. Dr. Seuss at his finest. Our hope is that all of our students will move mountains and will make the hardest climb so they can see the best views.

Again, welcome back. This is a busy quarter and an important eight weeks for all of our students to focus on their work and finish the first semester strong. The next few weeks will move fast and it is important for our students to be engaged in their classes and to take advantage of all of the interventions that we have in place. Our goal is to provide our parents with accurate measurements of learning at the end of the semester. To finish the quote from Dr. Seuss, "Kid, you'll move mountains! You're off to great places. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So…get on your way!" It is time to continue our journey, together, as our mountain is waiting.

Have a great week.

GRAD NIGHT 2020

Do you know about MVHS Grad Night? Grad Night is a jam-packed, fun-filled "lock-in" style, safe party for Mountain View grads just after graduation. They spend the whole night in the gym and outdoor plaza with a DJ, casino tables, hypnotist, inflatables, and more. Plus, tons of food and games and prizes!

Board Members and Committee Chairs Needed!

 With the turnover of "graduated" parents on our board, we are currently seeking to fill 3 out of 4 of our Board positions. MVHS PRO/Grad Night is a 501c3 organization and as such we are required to maintain an official board. If you're interested, please email Angela Chintis at mvgradnight@hotmail.com.

 We are also currently seeking a Chairperson to head up the execution of Grad Night. This would entail organizing build days and overseeing decoration of the event. We currently have a great team you'd be working with and many details already taken care of. Please email Angela Chintis for more info: mvgradnight@hotmail.com
