MVS Family News

Welcome back from winter break! We hope that you had a relaxing break and worked hard to start the new semester last week. We would like to welcome our many new students to MVS! We also want to congratulate our five seniors who have completed their high school credits and have graduated early!

This week, Advanced Placement classes start through AP Access for All. If you are taking an AP course, be sure to login and start completing assignments.

Seniors who have signed up for the TN Promise scholarship, the last dates for the mandatory ZOOM meeting are this week. If you have not attended one, please sign up below.

Grade cards for semester 1 were emailed out last Friday and mailed out over the weekend. Be sure to be looking for this important document.

1. Check your email. Last Friday you received an email from Maryville Virtual School <noreply@loopmessaging.io> with the grade card as an attachment. Click on the link at the bottom of the email. If you do not see this email, please check your Clutter and make sure that the address above is not blocked or on your Junk Mail list.

Go to https://ps.maryvillecityschools.k12.tn.us/public and login. Click on Student Reports on the left menu bar and click on the appropriate Archived Report.
3. Ask your student to login to PowerSchool on their laptop. Students can also access their grade card through their PowerSchool login. Students access PowerSchool by going to Login, logging into ClassLink, and clicking on PowerSchool- Students. Click on Student Reports on the left menu bar and click on the appropriate Archived Report.
4. Ask your student to check their email. Your student was also emailed the grade card. They can follow the directions above to open and view it, as well.
5. Look for a Envelope. We also mailed out report cards earlier this week.

Each year the Tennessee Department of Education requires school systems to monitor their virtual schools. MVS has just completed this process and scored in the highest category, Meeting Expectations! Please click here to view the report.

Maryville City Schools has invested in staff and programs to help students start thinking about what happens after high school and what could be great for each of them. Throughout this year, we will hear more about the Ready Graduate Center and a piece of software called School Links that will assist your student on this journey. Our 9-12 Ready Graduate Advisor is Wes Lambert. Please reach out to him if you have any questions- wes.lambert@maryville-schools.org

These businesses and employers will have representatives at Maryville High School on these days. You are invited to visit with these businesses at 11:30 PM. Please double check SchoolLinks for the updated schedule. (Login through ClassLink, choose SchoolLinks, and click on Events. See picture below) If you are a MVS junior or senior and want to visit with the representative, please check in at MHS front desk and then make your way to the MHS Commons Area. You are expected to follow all MHS behavioral rules while on their campus. Please represent MVS well.

• January 22 – Knoxville TVA Federal Credit Union
• January 26 – UT Federal Credit Union
• January 27 – Averitt Trucking
• February 2 – Harper Auto Wash

• Please check SchoolLinks - Scholarship Management to view scholarship opportunities.

• The 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is OPEN! Complete that ASAP. See this link for more information.

In the event of a snow day school closing as determined by Maryville City Schools, MVS will cancel all on-site meetings and any virtual TEAMS meetings. Students are still expected to complete all assignments on time for the week and due dates will not change. If your ability to complete assignments is affected by weather-related loss of power or Wi-Fi, students are to email teachers when they are able and request guidance. MCS delayed start or early dismissal will only alter the times of on-site or TEAMS meetings that fall within the shifted time. If changes need to be made, MVS staff will email families directly. MCS digital days will have no effect on the MVS schedule.

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.

If a teacher wants your student to use AI to help with an assignment or writing, then he or she will let them know that when the assignment is made. Unless a teacher gives students permission to use AI for a specific assignment, students are not to use Artificial Intelligence sites or apps to help with MVS assignments. Work that is generated with the use of AI will be treated like plagiarism and will be graded as such. If this occurs, teachers may give students a zero for the assignment or the option to come into MVS to rewrite an essay with paper and pencil or monitored technology. As a reminder, please see the Student Contract & Honor Code below that was signed at orientation.
