Blazing our own path to excellence!
Congratulations to our graduating seniors! See pictures of our graduation ceremony below. We are so proud of each of you! We look forward to seeing you make your place in the world!
We have 3.5 days of school left! Be sure to finish strong and complete all of your assignments and assessments for the year by Thursday, May 22nd at NOON. All high school courses have a final that counts either 10% or 25% of the course grade. It is VERY important that those tests/ projects are finished!
Finish strong and have a wonderful summer!
Go M@VS!

Students have only three and a half days left to keep working and finish strong! All work needs to be completed by NOON on Thursday. Also, our Academic Support Center will be closed on Thursday and will reopen next year.
All students need to return their laptop and charger to the MVS office on Thursday or Friday anytime between 8-11:30am or 12-3pm. Please remember to also bring your charger and any other materials that you have borrowed-- novels, fingerprinting kit, etc. Lost or damaged chargers will have a fee of $20 and will be due when dropping off laptops.
Algebra 1 students are required to come into MVS to complete their final assessment. They will test in the Academic Support Center on any day between May 12th to 21st. Note that students must have completed the Practice Exam before coming in to test. The test is approximately 90 minutes long. The ASC opens at 11:30 and closes at 3:00. To give your student enough time to complete the test, students should arrive before 1:30. Students can leave when they have finished the test.
In high school, students must earn certain credits to graduate. To earn a credit for a course, a student must pass the class with a 60/D average or better. If the student fails the course with an average below 50, the entire course must be taken again, and some entire core courses can be retaken in summer school. If a student has an average between 50 and 60, then the student may have the option of taking an abbreviated core course during summer school, just focusing on the deficient standards, to recover the credit and receive a passing score of 60/D for the course. For more information on credit recovery, see here.
Thus, you can look at your student’s current averages and consider if he/she will be getting information about Summer School. Summer School for grades 9-12 will take place on-site at Maryville High School. Courses available at Summer School are only the core graduation requirements including English, math, science, and social studies. We will send out invitations for 9-12 summer school to the invited students early this week.
