Message From: Peter Geske
Dear Parents, As your child’s sophomore English teachers, we first want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Since your child will be home for the next few days, we thought it would be a good idea to assign an assignment that has to do with culture, and most probably family. Your child has the full assignment on googleclassroom and can show it to you at any time. We will be having a “Museum Walk” on December 2nd and 3rd in our classroom. That is when the project is due. We assigned the project on November 21. They had 5 days of work time in class to complete it, plus a weekend, and many nights. Many students chose to talk and socialize during the work time. We just wanted to bring it to your attention that the project is 100 points and due the first and second day after Thanksgiving. This project could really boost some student’s grade and is not a traditional paper, but rather a more artistic approach to an assignment while still being aligned to English standards. Please discuss with your child the importance of this project and that it is due the first and second day that we return from break. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. Best regards, Ms. Sissener and Mr. Geske

November 19th, 2019 Activity Buses this afternoon are cancelled because of forecasted rain.
In an abundance of caution, because many of the roads that surround our school can be impacted due to flooding, we will not run buses from MVHS at 5:35PM. Normal activities will take place, including athletics practices and tutoring, however, the buses at 5:35PM will not run.

 | Principal's Message Good evening Mountain Lion family, We have reached the midpoint of the second quarter. This quarter, like all of the rest it seems, move along so quickly. Some people say time passes much quicker the older you get – so I will chalk it up to that concept. However, for many of us we feel like we just returned from Fall Break and we are looking at Thanksgiving already. To be fair, there are also a fair number of folks that can "feel" that Thanksgiving is the latest it can be this year. On Wednesday we have our next Site Based Council meeting. The meeting is at 3:15 in the Collaboration Room in the library. The plan for this meeting is to finalize our Mountain View cell phone policy. This has been discussed at each of the previous SBC meetings and we are excited to complete this policy change. Mid-term grades will be updated by tomorrow and we urge you to look at ParentVue this week. With the shortened week next week due to Thanksgiving and the quick turnaround before semester exams it is imperative that all of our students stay on top of their work. Have a great week! Todd Garelick

Students were introduced to the differences between MVHS and University "Sweet 16" entrance requirements, their transcripts, off-campus privilege requirements, and what they can do to remain on track or get back on track. In the next couple of weeks, parent(s)/guardian(s) will receive a copy of their student's transcript and a letter filled out by their student. The letter will list their GPA, credits, off campus privilege eligibility, graduation status, and what they can do to remain on track or get back on track for graduation. This letter will be delivered via USPS. We encourage you to talk to your student(s) about their grades and remember that students still have time to make a positive change before the end of the semester. If you have any class specific questions, please reach out to your student's teacher(s) directly. If your student lists themselves as off-track for graduation, we encourage you to have your student(s) make an appointment with their counselor to discuss credit recovery options. A reminder, student's counselors are assigned by the student's last name and assignments are as follows: A-B: Ms. Anderson C-Gor: Ms. Kati Gos-Marq: Ms. Wampler Marr-Rol: Ms. Crawford Rom-Z: Ms. Ruboyianes --MVHS Counseling PSAT Update: Congratulations to the 350+ students who took the PSAT last Wednesday!

| | | November 18, 2019 Dear MUSD Parent/Guardian: Exciting News! The Marana school district is pleased to share the Governing Board approved academic calendar for the 2020-2021 school year. This calendar directly reflects the input received in the Academic Calendar Survey sent in October. Over 2,000 parents, students, and employees responded. Based on the results from the survey, the following aspects of the academic calendar will continue: - The first day of school remains a Monday.
- Each semester of the school year remains as equal, as possible, in instruction days.
- Winter Break remains two full weeks and three weekends.
- The last day of school is prior to Memorial Day.
In addition, based on the survey, the following aspects of the calendar will change beginning next school year: - There will be no school for students on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving Week. This student instructional day has moved to the last week of the school year.
- The two half-days (Thursday/Friday), at the end of the first and third quarter, have changed to a full school day on each Thursday and no school for students on each Friday. This change maintains the same number of instructional hours for students while providing teachers a longer, more focused time for grading and completion of report cards.
Moving forward, we continue to provide the highest quality of instruction in the same number of instructional hours to ensure all of our students meet with life-long success. You will find the calendar attached to this communication. Additionally, the academic calendar can be accessed on our District Website at www.maranausd.org/calendar. I want to thank you for your participation and for your ongoing support of our District. We are confident this calendar will provide benefits to families, students, and employees. Regards, Doug Wilson, Ed.D.
