Good evening Mountain Lion families,
Thank you for taking some time this past weekend to complete the Return to School survey. This information is extremely important and will help us as we transition back to school for in-person instruction. Your attention to this is greatly appreciated.
We are closing in on the end of the first quarter. Though grades are cumulative it is important to continue to work hard through the end of the quarter. You can always access your child's grades through ParentVue. This tool allows you to track grades throughout the school year. If you have questions, please reach out to your child's teachers or counselor.
Return to School waivers and acknowledgment forms can be emailed to:t.s.garelick@maranausd.org
Please see the attached flyer below for Mountain View High School Picture Days. After reading through the information, please visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/MVHSPhotoDays to schedule a time.
Once again, we have opened up a store for you to purchase Mountain View gear. We have some great choices this year and here is the link for your store: https://mvhs2020spiritstore.itemorder.com

Up to now, teachers have been responsible for marking attendance as present based on their class attendance. Students are marked present when they engage with the content or show in the Zoom meetings. They are marked absent when they do not engage. The change we have made is to allow parents to verify attendance by filling out the form below. Note that if your child is marked present, there is no reason to complete this form. However, if you notice that your child was marked absent, but was engaged with school work, once this is submitted our attendance team will take care of updating attendance records. We hope the addition of this option provides flexibility for families and helps to increase accuracy of our attendance records for secondary students.
In Short:
- If your child is marked present for class, there is nothing to do.
- If your child is marked absent, and you can verify that s/he did engage with school work, complete and submit the form so we can reflect that in Parent and Student Vue.
- The form must be completed for each child separately.
- The form can be re-used, and must be submitted for each day that you wish to correct.

Protecting Zoom Classrooms
Given the open availability of our Google Classroom Codes, we have set rules for entry. We have asked teachers to limit classroom entry to only students who are on their class list. We do however recognize that some of our students for a variety of reasons go by nicknames or other selected names. If a student is more comfortable with the nickname or selected name, we want them to use that name. We recommend that students in this situation, email their teacher to let the teacher know the preferred screen name. By receiving this email, the teacher will be able to officially connect the nickname/selected name to the student on the roster.
Remote Learning & Support Services
As we continue our school year through Remote Learning, I want to remind parents and guardians that our school, along with all school districts in Pima County, are not able yet to reopen to in-person classroom learning. Our Superintendent continues to work closely with health officials, County Administrators, and other school superintendents to identify appropriate local benchmarks and indicators with the goal of returning us to school safely as soon as possible.
Our teachers and students will continue their Remote Learning work as we wait for the County to meet benchmarks for reopening, as directed in the Governor's Executive Order.
The Governor has also directed schools to provide free learning opportunities and on-site support services for students who need a place to go during the day. These support services are intended to serve our more vulnerable students, including those with special education services, English learners, and those in care of the Arizona Department of Child Safety, including Foster Care, beginning Monday, August 17. If you believe your student is in need of these targeted support services, please visit the District's support services webpage.
