Academic Success Tips

Students can excel in school by making smart choices and adopting positive habits. Encourage your student to review and follow the tips below for academic success.

• Do homework during free periods. This will allow you to tackle it soon after class, while your notes are still fresh. And if you have a question, you can stop by and ask your teacher for help before you go home.

• Pick a quiet place to study. Try the school library during the day or the public library at night and on weekends.

• At home, study somewhere away from family activity. You’ll need a good light and a table or a desk (not your bed!) where you can spread out your notebooks and materials.

• Listen to music only if it helps you concentrate. Turn it off if it’s a distraction.

• Consider forming a study-buddy group. Invite friends who are good at different subjects to join so you can help each other. Connect online, through texts or IMs, or talk on the phone. Or make a schedule to get together in person. (But don’t let it become a social hour!)

• Ask questions in class. Other students might be puzzled by the same thing, and you’ll be doing them a favor if you speak up.

• Be active in class. Join discussions, share your thoughts and questions, and participate in each activity.

Our ASB program has a couple of upcoming events that they'd like to make sure you know about. First, the sophomore class is hosting a fundraiser at Chipotle (College Blvd.) on October 17th, with proceeds coming back to the school. Second, we are hosting a drive-in Movie Night on October 29th -- the film is Coraline. We hope to see you there!

The California Healthy Youth Act 2016 (CHYA) mandates that every student shall receive instruction to build the knowledge and skills necessary to protect their sexual and reproductive health from unintended pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (California Education Code Sections 51930-51939). At Mission Vista, this information is provided/taught to students in 9th-grade courses (Freshman Seminar or AVID). For more information, please click here.

We have created a new poster outlining our electronic devices policy -- including Meta Glasses and the like -- to be posted in all classroom spaces. Wearable technology such as Meta Glasses will be treated the same as cell phones during instructional time.

MVHS, along with all other Vista Unified schools have an anonymous tip line (see the button below) where all stakeholders (students, parents, staff, community members) can report dangerous behaviors on, around, or related to our campus. Tips reported are completely anonymous (unless the user shares his/her name), and VUSD and MVHS administrators are alerted immediately. In order to keep our school community safe, we ask all stakeholders that if they see something, say something, and the tip line is just one of many ways to do that.

The Timberwolves Foundation's Bingo! Night was a massive success and a ton of fun. The next fundraising event is a Trivia Night on Saturday, November 7th -- we hope you'll join us there!

MVHS Students, Families & Staff:

Concurrent Enrollment / COLLEGE CREDITS

High school students can take off-campus courses for advancing to a higher level course in their next school year, or complete a non-sequenced level course and create schedule space for future options. Concurrent enrollment lets you earn college credit for college courses completed while you're still in high school – and those courses also could count toward your high school diploma.
