Need ACT Practice?

If you are looking for ACT prep opportunities outside of school, there are many on-line and in this area. A few that have been used by MHS students in the past: ACT Website, Koontz ACT Cram Course, TestPrep Experts, Kaplan, Outliers Advantage, and ScoreSurge Prep.

Also, as an MVS student, you have access to an ACT Review tool within ClassLink! You can choose the subject you want to study and the score range that you are shooting for. Or you can enter your last ACT scores, and the software will create an individualized plan just for you! To access this ACT Review practice, login to ClassLink through the Login app, and then click on iXL, Skill Plans, Test Prep, and ACT.

One Book Blitz Play

MHS and MJHS are thrilled to bring a little piece of this year’s One Book Blitz to the stage with a short and sweet adaptation of The Borrowers by Mary Norton!

Join us on February 28th at 10:00 AM in the MHS Auditorium for a delightful performance full of magic hiding in plain sight! Click on the picture below to purchase tickets.

Weekend Food Bag Application

If you would like your student to participate in the weekend food bag program, please complete the form above. Deb Skyler, Director of the MCS Family Resource Center, may contact you for more information.

Ready to Start Driving?

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.

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 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.
