Our teachers and our staff can't wait to meet their students, and we have been working hard all summer to prepare for the year. We are committed to providing relevant and rigorous learning experiences for our students every day.
For our new families, this Wolf Pack Weekly newsletter is published every Friday afternoon and contains need-to-know information for all things Mission Vista. Be sure to check your inbox/text messages from the school each Friday to stay in the loop.
It's going to be a fantastic year, and we can't wait to see all Timberwolves on Wednesday morning at 7:48am.

In the August 4th Community Update to all VUSD stakeholders, our District shared information about how CA recently enacted a new law, Assembly Bill 104, that will expand learning and credit recovery options for students who may have struggled academically during the 2020-2021 school year, including:
A process for high school students to change eligible grades to Pass/No Pass
Exemption from district graduation requirements for students in grades 11 or 12 who were not on track to graduate
Students who earned D's can elect to change those grades to "Pass" and students who earned F's can change those grades to No Pass. Neither P nor NP marks will factor into the GPA.
CLICK HERE for eligibility details on each item and for how to apply.
**Grade change applications for the 2021-2022 school year are due to the Main Office by Thursday, August 19th.
