Tuesday, October 17th at Maryville Virtual School---- All MVS Seniors will retake the ACT test on October 17th at Maryville Virtual School. This retake is a free, on-line test opportunity provided by the state of Tennessee.
- Who: ALL MVS Seniors
- When: 8:00 until 12:00
- Where: Maryville Virtual School
- How: Arrive at the MVS front office by 8:15 with a charged laptop, an ID, pencils, and an approved calculator. (See ACT approved calculator info here.)
Note- Seniors all received a personal email with an attachment and directions to register for the ACT. Please be sure to complete that before October 17th.
- Check your email. Last Friday you received an email from Maryville Virtual School <noreply@maryville-schools.org> with the grade card as an attachment. Click on the link at the bottom of the email. On a phone, it should just open. On a computer, it should download as a file in the bottom left corner. 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. If you have multiple students at MVS, sometimes the first grade card email goes through, and the second email is marked as Clutter by your email system.
- Login to your parent PowerSchool account on a computer. Your student’s Q1 Report Card is saved within PowerSchool and can be viewed using the account you created for yourself. Go to https://ps.maryvillecityschools.k12.tn.us/public and login. Click on Student Reports on the left menu bar and click on the Archived Report called 23-24 Q1 Report Card.
- 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 Archived Report called 23-24 Q1 Report Card.
- 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.
- Who: ALL MVS Sophomores
- When: 8:00 until 12:00

It's hard to believe that the time has come to order your senior's cap and gown for graduation. Herff Jones should have already sent you an email regarding the ordering process. If you haven't received the email you can find our special MVS Herff Jones web store by clicking here. All orders need to be placed before December 1st to ensure enough production and delivery time. The website can be a little confusing so here are the steps to reach the section to order the cap and gown.
- 1) Click the Herff Jones link above
- 2) On the right side select "Shop Grad Products"
- 3) At the top you will see 3 rectangles with choices, choose "Graduation A La Carte" to order the cap and gown.
- 4) Scroll to the bottom for Graduation Essentials

- Please note, students without a TSAC account must first create an account prior to completing the TN Promise application. The TN Promise application is housed within the student’s TSAC account so for some students completing the application may be a two-step process.
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.
