A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday    Good evening Mountain View family, We have made it to the end of November and are in the home stretch for the first semester. We have three weeks left before winter break. This is the time for our families to look at grades and upcoming activities and make a push to finish the semester on a high note.  In the past we spent a considerable amount of time talking about grades and the importance of student engagement. As we near the end of the semester, that will be paramount for your child's success. We want our students to be engaged in their learning and make the most of the last few weeks. These weeks will certainly go quickly. Let's finish strong. Have a great week and enjoy our cooler temperatures. 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. During this Remote/Hybrid Learning, we are changing our attendance procedure 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 StudentVue. 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.

The MUSD COVID-19 dashboard is refreshed every five minutes, so data will change as it is entered within our systems. To find the page quickly, you can bookmark it at https://www.maranausd.org/coviddashboard or navigate to it from the link on the Safe Return to School Page. 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.

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 Student's Last Names A-B: Ms. Anderson Students Last Names C-Gor: Ms. Kati Students Last Names Gos-Marq: Ms. Wampler Students Last Names Marr-Rol: Ms. Crawford Students Last Names Rom-Z: Ms. Ruboyianes   The College and Career Center is open and ready to help you and your students plan for post high school.

Clubs & Athletics Student Council Please see the attached pdf's for information from our student council. High School Athletics Update: In light of the current COVID-19 infection levels, Pima County superintendents received a communication yesterday from Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckleberry requesting high schools to immediately cease all Fall athletic events at public schools. This includes football practice and games. Earlier today, Dr. Streeter met with the other Pima County superintendents to review and learn more about this request. During this meeting a collective decision was made to honor the request of Pima County Administration. As a result, all remaining MUSD football games and practices will be cancelled. This was a difficult decision and we recognize it is disappointing to our football student athletes, coaches, and families, especially after a delayed start to the season. We regret the abrupt nature of this decision, but we are proud of the way the members of our high school football programs have adapted and persevered during this season.   As for Winter sports, the AIA has postponed the competition season until January 5, 2021. With current data in hand, we have made a decision to pause practice for Winter sports at this time.  We will continue to evaluate conditions and will make a decision concerning conditioning practices by December 7, 2020.
