A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday Good evening Mountain Lion family,   We have made it to the last week of March. In many ways it seems we just started this semester and now we are looking at preparing for the huge events that close out our school year. Last week we began planning our annual Grad Walk activity for our feeder pattern and we are also planning our Honors Night event. These are special events that allow us to honor our highest performing students and to honor the teachers and schools that helped shape our graduating class. More information on these events will be available soon.   We have also stepped up our interventions since we returned to in-person learning. Interventions are one of the goals for Mountain View this year and we have worked to find ways to assist our students that have been struggling with remote learning or had a hard time transitioning during hybrid learning. Should you have questions about your child please contact their counselor and request support. We have a tiered system to ensure every student can receive some level of support to help them complete this school year successfully.   A quick  reminder about graduation: The 2021 Mountain View graduation ceremony will take place on Tuesday, May 18th, at 8 p.m. on Wayne Jones Field. We are very excited to announce that we will be having this ceremony in-person this year. With this announcement, we can also share that each graduating senior will receive four tickets for entry to graduation. We are limited on capacity and we do understand the issues this could present. However, the good news is we will be able to allow people to attend the ceremony. For students that are not able to attend the in-person graduation, we will have an alternative option available. A Sign-up Genius will be shared later this spring containing more information.   Also, you will see attached information regarding caps and gowns. Please contact Josten's with any questions.   This summer we will again be hosting our ELEVATE transition camp. The dates for this are July 26 and July 27. New student orientation will be held July 29th. Each of these will run from 8:15 – 11:30. We will be sharing more information soon about how to register and what you need to know.   Have a great week. Todd Garelick Principal Mountain View High School (520) 579-4427 Things to Know    From the MVHS Front Office, New Bus Transportation App for MUSD Families MUSD is excited to announce that families will now have access to a new, free app that helps to improve bus route communication, school bus safety, and efficiency! The Edulog Bus Transportation Parent Portal app provides families with planned time and location information for your child's bus ride to and from school. The app integrates with our bus routing system and provides notifications generated from a GPS device installed on each bus. This information is only for our traditional before and after school bus pick up/drop off and not activity buses. The Edulog bus app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Visit https://www.maranausd.org/BusApp for download information and instructions.   Nominations Open for Tucson Values Teachers "Teacher Excellence Award" Marana students and families, we need your help!

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.
