Semester Midterm Calendar
For your planning purposes, the high school will be holding a midterm modified schedule. The schedule will be posted below. During this time, students have the option of signing out during those time periods they do not have a midterm. Families will either need to sign their students out during each of these time frames or complete and submit the midterm schedule form. The form will need to be filled out in its entirety and families will need to sign in each of the areas that students are permitted to leave MVHS. Forms will need to be submitted to the MVHS office prior to the beginning of midterms.
Adjusting Midterm Schedules
Inclement Weather - Calamity Days
The winter season will soon be upon us. Our district administration, faculty, and staff understand that our decision to open or close schools during inclement weather has a big impact on families. We also understand that our students are better served, both academically and socially, by being in school. But, as always, our top priority is the safety of our students. We have provided a link “School Closings and Delays - How is the Decision Made” for your review.
When extremely cold weather has been forecasted, we often get questions about temperatures and wind chills. Temperature and/or sustained wind chills at or below -10F during peak pick-up times for buses and walking times for students are given special consideration.
Winter weather decisions can be challenging as we must take into consideration city, county, and township road conditions. Timing is always a challenge as we check roads beginning at 4:30 am and do our best to make decisions by 5:30 am. Please understand that conditions can change dramatically in just a few short hours. If weather conditions should worsen after our initial decision to remain open, we cannot reverse our decision in the morning without negatively impacting students and parents.
Although we do our best in making these decisions, we realize that often no perfect decision exists due to the size and condition throughout the district. If you do not feel that it is safe for your child to get to school, use your best judgment on whether or not he or she should attend. Also, please discourage teenagers from driving in bad conditions and offer them alternatives as weather conditions worsen.
We will be using ‘Instant Connect Alerts’ as our closings and delays notification system. Please sign up at Instant Connect portal.
