Wolf Pack Weekly

Middle & High School students need to attend a one-hour session (options above) to

obtain a permit to ride to school. Once they attend this session and return the

signed acknowledgement sheet, the permit is sent to the school site personnel in

charge. They pass the permit out to the students. See the flyers below for session dates; students who have already completed this safety course do not have to repeat it.

Save the Date! Back to School Night will be held on Thursday, September 3rd @ 5:30 pm. BTSN is a great opportunity to meet teachers, learn about course details and key student outcomes, get general information about important events and initiatives at the school, and learn how parents can partner with the school to support students' education. We hope to see you there!

The MVHS PTSA is the largest PSTA chapter in the District, and all efforts and funds raised come right back to supporting the school, our students, and the stakeholders at home who support them. See the QR code to join as a PTSA member, for just $13.

The MVHS Timberwolves Foundation's mission is to raise funds, and provide booster accounts to support all MVHS clubs, programs, teams, and of course, students. Scholarships for students and grants to individual programs for amazing learning experiences for students are a primary driver for the Foundation, and nearly every major athletics and arts program partners with the Foundation to manage booster money. See the flyer below about how you can join the effort.

During Timberwolf Registration Days, students and families learned about our revised A.I. policy, which can be found here. As a school, we want students to demonstrate their original thinking and learning through cognitively complex tasks. This work requires what is referred to as "productive struggle", meaning students stretch their thinking beyond the comfort zone to learn new things and apply them in new ways. At the same time, A.I. continues to progress and is making its way into most career industry sectors, and it's important that students familiarize themselves with some AI tools and learn to use them responsibly.

We've adopted a stoplight metaphor to help clarify for students when A.I. use is and is not appropriate for school assignments, projects and assessments. RED = Stop, no A.I. use is permitted; YELLOW = slow down, some AI use may be permitted, but citations will be required; and GREEN = go, students may use A.I. freely.

**It is important to note that the default for all assignments is RED (no A.I. use). Students must have explicit permission from their teacher to use A.I. to assist with any assigned task.

Mark your calendars for Friday, Sept. 11th, for the Timberwolves Foundation's first event of the year - Bingo! Night. This event will be held at the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens, and $45 gets you 10 games, plus a taco plate. The Timberwolves Foundation uses all proceeds to give back to all programs at MVHS. We hope to see you there!

MVHS, along with all other Vista Unified schools have an anonymous tip line (see the button below) where all stakeholders (students, parents, staff, community members) can report dangerous behaviors on, around, or related to our campus. Tips reported are completely anonymous (unless the user shares his/her name), and VUSD and MVHS administrators are alerted immediately. In order to keep our school community safe, we ask all stakeholders that if they see something, say something, and the tip line is just one of many ways to do that.

MVHS Students, Families & Staff:

The Counseling Department is here to help support students and families. Our top priority is the health, safety, and well-being of every MVHS student and family.

Concurrent Enrollment / COLLEGE CREDITS

High school students can take off-campus courses for advancing to a higher level course in their next school year, or complete a non-sequenced level course and create schedule space for future options. Concurrent enrollment lets you earn college credit for college courses completed while you're still in high school – and those courses also could count toward your high school diploma.
