'Tis the season!

It is almost Winter Break, but there is still lots of work to get done in these last two weeks! Keep your eye on the prize! Also, we would like to congratulate Isabella M. She is dancing in the Nutcracker! She is a soldier in Act 1 and an Arabian dancer in Act 2. If you go to a performance, look for her! We are so proud!


Go M@VS!

Procedure Reminders Procedure Reminders

Ready to Start Driving?

Students must request their 1010 Form before going to the DMV to receive their Learnerโ€™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.

Turning in Late Work?

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.

Feeling Sick?

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.

Tempted to Use AI or the Internet to Plagiarize?

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 the option to come into MVS to rewrite an essay with paper and pencil or monitored technology.
