We are excited to welcome our students back to campus for the Spring semester.

As we re-enter the routine to school, we want to remind our Mavs of our expectations to ensure a successful semester

• Attendance is important! It impacts receiving credits, attending extracurricular events, PROM, etc. Come to school everyday and be on time!
• Good Behavior is important and actions have consequences. Be sure to make good choices and be the best version of you each and everyday at MHS!
• Treat everyone with respect!
• Check Skyward for your Spring Schedule (Sometimes class periods change or classes are leveled)
• Student IDs will be passed out during English Class on Tuesday, 1/7. MHS students will need their IDs to ride the bus.
• NO Blankets (We know it's cold outside but students may not bring blankets)
• Be in dress code
• Natural Hair Color
• No Slides
• No Pajamas
• No hats or beanies (in the building)
• No jeans with holes above the knee
• No headphones (they will be confiscated if seen)

If a student missed their exam for any reason, they have until January 17th to make up their exam. Make-up exams must be scheduled with their teacher.

We want to ensure our Mavs had a great first day back and I thank you in advance for your partnership.

Hoka Hey,

Jamie Baldwin, Principal

A heartfelt thank you to all the clubs, departments, and organizations that participated in the first-ever Magical Maverick Christmas Tree Contest! Because of your incredible support, we were able to bring joy to 30 families this holiday season with donated gifts.

The winner of the contest, who will receive a pizza party and have a donation made to a charity of their choice, is... Girls Soccer!

A donation to Jennie’s Rescue Ranch will be made in your name. Congratulations, and thank you for helping make this event a success!
