Mountain Lion Monday 

marquee
 

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

Rain. I am not sure anybody remembers the last time it rained in Tucson. I was very much a skeptic when the weather app on my phone showed rain for Monday and was very pleasantly surprised to see and hear it this morning. The cold temperatures also reminded us that we truly are in November. This has been such a challenging school year that at times it is hard to remember we are closer to the end of the first semester than we really are. That said, please remember that we are off Wednesday for Veterans Day, have Thanksgiving fast approaching and semester exams the week of December 14th. This will be a sprint to the end and we ask that you keep an eye on ParentVue for information on your child's grades.

Have a fantastic four day week and please take a look at the important messages below. Thank you very much.

 
With winter sports getting ready to begin, Southern Arizona Urgent Care is offering free sports physicals. Please visit https://southernarizonaurgentcare.com/ for more information. Also, all winter athletes need to go to https://registermyathlete.com/ to complete their profile, which will allow them to attend tryouts. Basketball, soccer and wrestling begin on November 9th.
 
Have a great week and again, thank you.
 
 
Veterans Day Week: Cohort Schedule
The week after next, MUSD does not have school on Wednesday, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day.

In order to make sure that all students who have opted for 
in-person learning (hybrid) are able to attend two days of school that week, MUSD is making a slight change to the cohort schedule for this week only.

To minimize disrupting the schedules of all in-person (hybrid) learners, MUSD will have cohort A attend on Monday and Friday of that week.


Here is the schedule for in-person (hybrid) learners for Veterans Day Week:

Remote learners will follow the schedule provided by their teachers on the weekly overview for that week.

Things to Know   

From the MVHS Front Office,

Attention Fine and Performing Arts Students! Mountain View High School has been approved by the Arizona Department of Education to offer the AZ Seal of Arts Proficiency Program. This distinction is awarded to Arizona graduates who complete an arts pathway. The seal is meant to recognize mastery of Arizona arts education standards, cultivate artistic literacy and skills for 21st century success, promote increased access to well-rounded, high quality arts education, and prepare students for college and career readiness including active participation in the creative industries sector.

The Arizona Arts Proficiency Seal is awarded to graduating high school students who complete the Seal of Arts Proficiency Pathway. The pathway is designed to celebrate students who complete a rigorous, standards-based, and high-quality arts education course of study. Students who achieve this recognition will receive a seal for their diploma and will also be recognized during site award ceremonies and at high school graduation.
