As a school, we have completed our first two weeks of state testing! Yea! Thank you to all of the parents and grandparents who helped to get their students where they needed to be to test, at the right times, and with the right materials. Thank you to all of the students who came in and worked hard to demonstrate what all they have learned this year. This week we are testing high school math! Let's keep this up!

You are currently enrolled at MVS, thus you are automatically enrolled with MVS again for next year unless you decide to make a change or Mrs. Bishop recommends you make a change based on your performance this year. If you wish to withdraw from MVS to attend another school for 25-26 please email jennifer.davis@maryville-schools.org to let us know. Then, you will need to come into MVS to sign the withdrawal form and let us know what school you will be attending next year. Note- MVS tuition students wishing to enroll in another Maryville City School must apply for tuition with MCS.
As you are considering what school looks like for your student for next year, please consider how this year has gone. If your child has flourished at home with the reduced stress of not being in an onsite school and shown the ability to be responsible for their own schoolwork, then sounds like another year at MVS is a great choice! If your student has struggled this year with task completion, failing grades, and attendance issues, then consider if any of these were better when attending an on-site school or if these things are struggles regardless of the environment. Either way, we will continue to work with your student to help overcome these issues.
MVS students in grades 8 through 11 will need to choose their classes for next school year. For core classes (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies), your current teachers have recommended what classes would best suit your academic skills and further course of study. In high school, you also have to have a Focus Area consisting of three classes (see here for more information). Thus, you will be receiving an email with teacher/ admin recommended courses and a link to make your choices. Before you choose, be sure to read about each course in the MVS Scholar's Prep Guide and make sure it is something you are interested in and ready for.
