Seniors & Senior Parents,

It is almost time to order diplomas! Please check your (your student's) name in Infinite Campus and make sure everything is spelled correctly and includes any suffix that may apply (Jr., III, etc). The name on the diploma will show exactly as it is in Infinite Campus: First Middle Last Suffix. This needs to be your LEGAL name listed on your birth certificate. Any changes that are made through Infinite Campus go through an approval process so nicknames will not be accepted. If you have had a legal name change please provide the documentation to the counseling office and we will make the change. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Reeder (in the counseling office) or your counselor directly.

This measure WILL NOT raise property taxes when approved and will provide the funds for improvements at all of our campuses and the construction of a new middle school to replace Pacific Intermediate.

The proposal is the result of a multi-year effort by the Board of Education and the administration to identify solutions to our most pressing facility needs while not placing additional burden on property taxpayers.

On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, residents of MVR-III will vote on Proposition S—a $43 million general obligation bond issue. When approved by 57.14% of voters, approximately $38 million of the bond’s total will be used to construct a new energy-efficient middle school with a storm shelter to replace Pacific Intermediate. Every Pre-K through 5th grade student today will experience attending the new school.

MVR-III property taxpayers WILL NOT see property tax rates increase because of an approved bond issue.

Power Lunch is designed to provide academic support and enrichment. Students do not need to be failing a course in order to seek assistance; all students are encouraged to meet with content experts during A Lunch. For those who are current with their assignments, a variety of alternative activities are also available on Power Lunch days.

Students are familiar with accessing their grades through Infinite Campus and will complete a grade check every Monday during Academic Advisory. We encourage families to continue these academic conversations at home to further support student success!
