Good evening Mountain Lion family,
This semester is moving extremely fast and next week is our last academic checkpoint. As you start planning the end of the semester and school year, our final exams will be the week of May 17th and we are holding our graduation ceremony for the Class of 2021 on Tuesday, May 18th, at Mountain View.
Our administrative team, along with our instructional leadership team, are busy planning for next year. We are adopting the vision that Mountain View High School believes strongly in a Culture of Universal Achievement. Our goals for next year, as discussed in last week's Mountain Lion Monday, follow this line of thinking. Our No Opt-out intervention, as well as the incredible work being done in the classrooms that support student engagement, all support this as well. And, as we strive to become a nationally recognized school we believe strongly that are grading policy and assessment work will help push us to meet our goals. We are excited about this journey.
Great news! Two of our Mountain Lion students were awarded 2021 Arizona Rising Star for the Aspirations in Computing an NCWIT Program.
Rachel Pixley grade 10 and Audrey Brumfield grade 11 both received the Rising Star Award.
Congratulations to both girls.
This year 6 MV students participated in the FBLA Arizona State Virtual Conference.
Rachel Pixley placed 3rd in the State in Intro to Information Technology and will compete in Nationals.
The following students placed in the top 10 in the state and may qualify for Nationals:
Audrey Brumfield - Word processing
Marrek Parker - Intro to IT
Maxwell Alexander - Intro to IT
Elizabeth Iiams - International Business
Rachel Pixley - Computer Problem Solving and Intro to IT
Just a reminder, that this week we continue our Spring State Assessments. We will be running a different bell schedule so that our students who are testing have every opportunity to perform their best.
All sophomores will begin their ELA AzM2 with their English teachers, while all juniors will take their SciAIMS with their science teachers later in the week.
Please note our schedule for the week(attached).
Students who are not testing will benefit from having longer access to their teachers and content.
For sophomores and juniors learning remotely:
Sophomores and juniors who will be learning remotely will not test with their onsite colleagues. Remote students have the opportunity, if they choose, to come to campus on Friday, April 16th or 23rd to complete either the AzM2 or AzSCI. Please follow this link to sign up for a date: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/remotelearners
Passing these exams are not currently a graduation requirement for high school students. However, we ask that you encourage your child to take their assessments seriously and prepare for this test as best as possible.
Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Tidwell at 579-4412, or email m.a.tidwell@maranausd.org.
Thank you and have a great week.
