MVS Family News
Blazing our own path to excellence!
I hope each of you had a great May the 4th yesterday! Hopefully the force was with you!
We have completed all state mandated testing, and during the next few weeks we still have Advanced Placement tests and CTE web design Industry Certification tests. Also, Algebra 1 students will be coming in to take their final. Please see below for those schedules. Our Dual Enrollment classes have finals this week, too.
All 8th-11th grade students and their parents received an email last week with the information needed to register for classes for 25-26. If you have not already done so, please read that email and the course recommendations carefully and then complete the form to choose classes for next year. If you have questions, please call our front office.

You are currently enrolled at MVS, thus you are automatically enrolled with MVS again for next year unless you decide to make a change or Mrs. Bishop recommends you make a change based on your performance this year. If you wish to withdraw from MVS to attend another school for 25-26 please email jennifer.davis@maryville-schools.org to let us know. Then, you will need to come into MVS to sign the withdrawal form and let us know what school you will be attending next year. Note- MVS tuition students wishing to enroll in another Maryville City School must apply for tuition with MCS.
As you are considering what school looks like for your student for next year, please consider how this year has gone. If your child has flourished at home with the reduced stress of not being in an onsite school and shown the ability to be responsible for their own schoolwork, then sounds like another year at MVS is a great choice! If your student has struggled this year with task completion, failing grades, and attendance issues, then consider if any of these were better when attending an on-site school or if these things are struggles regardless of the environment. Either way, we will continue to work with your student to help overcome these issues.
MVS students in grades 8 through 11 will need to choose their classes for next school year. For core classes (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies), your current teachers have recommended what classes would best suit your academic skills and further course of study. In high school, you are also required to have a Focus Area consisting of three classes (see here for more information). Thus, you have received an email with teacher/ admin recommended courses and a link to make your choices. Before you choose, be sure to read about each course in the MVS Scholar's Prep Guide and make sure it is something you are interested in and ready for.
Each CTE Web Design course has their Industry Certification Tests that will be given at MVS on the following dates and times.

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 into 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.
