• How: Arrive at the MVS front office by 8:00 with a charged laptop, an ID, pencils, and an approved calculator. (See ACT approved calculator info here.)

Please mark this date on your calendar. More information will be released soon. (Note- Taking the ACT is a graduation requirement.)

If you are currently behind on turning in assignments for a class and are able to work over Spring Break, please email your teacher to ask if they will accept late assignments completed over break and ask what is their deadline.

We will start registering for next year's classes after Spring Break. More information will come out on this closer to that time. Note: If you are wanting to transfer back to your zoned on-site school for the 24-25 school year, in May, you will come in to MVS and complete the transfer paperwork and then register with your on-site school.

MVS will be hosting our high school graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 9th at 4:00 at Coulter Grove Intermediate School. There will be no restriction on the number of guests allowed per graduate. Please mark your calendars! More details will be released closer to graduation.

If you are looking for ACT prep opportunities outside of school, there are many on-line and in this area. A few that have been used by MHS students in the past: ACT Website, Koontz ACT Cram Course, TestPrep Experts, Kaplan, Outliers Advantage, and ScoreSurge Prep.

Also, as an MVS student, you have access to an ACT Review tool within ClassLink! You can choose the subject you want to study and the score range that you are shooting for. Or you can enter your last ACT scores, and the software will create an individualized plan just for you! To access this ACT Review practice, login to ClassLink through the Login app, and then click on iXL, Skill Plans, Test Prep, and ACT.

The 2024-25 FAFSA form is a very important financial aid document that you will need to help your child complete if he/she plans to attend ANY post-secondary education in the 24-25 school year. Also, for students to remain eligible for the TN Promise scholarship, the FAFSA must be completed by April 15, 2024. If you plan to complete the FAFSA with your child, please visit fafsa.gov to start the process.

See details on the flyer below.

Students must request their 1010 Form before going to the DMV to receive their Learner’s Permit. Please call MVS or email Jennifer Davis. 1010 forms are given based on the previous 9 weeks' grades. If you are failing multiple classes, you are not eligible for a 1010 form until your grades are brought up to passing. The 1010 forms are good for 30 days during the school year.

If you are turning in any late work, be sure to always contact your teacher after submitting the assignment. Teachers are not notified when a student submits assignments after the due date, so they may not know you even turned something in.

Please remember to email your teachers and the MVS front office any doctor's notes for appointments or illness. Each student has 10 "parent convenience" days that are considered excused with no note. Any absences beyond those 10 days without a medical or legal note will be marked unexcused.
