Students in grades 2-8 will need to attend a Start Right Day session to meet their teacher, meet other students, review classroom procedures, and receive/setup their laptop. This meeting will get the elementary and middle school students in gear to start the school year right! More details about drop off and pick up will be coming from your main teacher soon.

Returning MVS Students-- If your student attended MVS last year, you all do not need to attend a formal orientation meeting, but you and your student do need to come to MVS during one of the following times to have a school picture taken, receive class schedule, pay the laptop user fee ($40), pay the school fees ($45), and complete the data verification, if not already completed. Once all of these have been completed, students will be issued a Dell laptop. You will receive school picture proof and purchase information from the photographer. Seniors will be asked to have their pictures taken as well, so we can issue school ID cards.
