Good evening Mountain Lion family,

Happy Thanksgiving. When 2020 started everyone referenced how we would have greater vision and a better insight on our lives than ever before. When we reflect back on the first eleven months of 2020, I believe we all do so with far different stories of the impact COVID has had onus personally and professionally. We also probably do not feel like our vision was clear, but instead, our vision was blurred by the unpredictability of the virus and how it changed our schools, jobs and families. However, something I am thankful for is that because of the limited things you can do, we have had more family dinners and movie nights than ever before. We were forced to slow down and that really has been a blessing.  I am also thankful to work at a great school with tremendous teachers and a supportive community. We could not have made it through this crisis without the support of everyone and for that, thank you all so very much. Enjoy the holiday and stay well.

Reminder: No School 11/25-11/27

Cohort A students will attend on Monday 11/23

Cohort B students will attend on Tuesday 11/24

Hybrid Attendance

If for any reason your student is unable to physically attend school on their "in person" learning day, and instead stays at home and attends classes via Zoom, please notify the attendance office.  The attendance office will adjust the attendance indicators to  acknowledge your student's  remote presence in class.

Things to Know   

From the MVHS Front Office,

Open Enrollment Now Open

We are excited as we look ahead to next school year. Please assist us in spreading the word to interested families about Open Enrollment. All schools in the Marana Unified School District are open to all students, regardless of where they live.

Open Enrollment applications for the 2021-2022 school year are due on December 15. The application can be completed online at https://bit.ly/38lG0D1.   

Please know that if your student is already attending our school through open enrollment, you do not have to reapply for next school year.

We are confident we have a very special and educationally enriching experience to offer students, and we hope you will share this news. Visit www.maranausd.org/openenroll for information about Open Enrollment.

Back to School Updates from Pima County Health Department
The Pima County Health Department and Pima County Superintendent of Schools understand that parents, teachers, staff and students may feel apprehensive about physically returning to school. With this in mind, we created this message to remind everyone of best practices when schools reopen for in-person learning. We invite you to take note of this valuable information. Watch it: English version | Spanish version

FREE Grab & Go Meals are still available! Parents can get a FREE Grab & Go lunch and a breakfast meal for the following morning at SIXTEEN participating #maranaschools! Visit https://www.maranausd.org/grabandgo for details on the NEW cafeteria and main office pickup options.

College, Career, Counseling   

MVHS Parents & Guardians,

On Thursday, November 19th, MVHS Counselors and Student Support Staff met with all of our freshmen students through their Bio/Bio-Med course, in-person and via Zoom. Students were introduced to the differences between MVHS graduation requirements and In-State University "Sweet 16" entrance requirements, national 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
  • 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)

Students were asked to digitally complete a letter as part of their required ECAP (Education Career Action Plan) through the "Class of 2024" Google Classroom. This letter indicates if they meet or did not meet any of the risk factors that can contribute to not graduating on-time. We encourage you to speak to your student(s) and ask them if they have completed this assignment and 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
