Student Course Schedules
Students will have access to their course schedules Sunday at midnight, via the Student Portal. The schedule may change between that time and Tuesday.
The most reliable way for your student to know where to go on Tuesday at 8:00am:
- At 7:45am, on Tuesday, students should login to their VUSD account in Google and navigate to their CALENDAR. There will be a calendar invitation at 8:00am for period one.
Important Information about Schedule Changes
As is the case every year, course change requests will be available on the MVHS Counseling Webpage, and changes will be considered if there is room in courses and the course change aligns to students' post-secondary goals.
Nuances You May See on your Schedule
When it is safe to have students return to campus, students in the Classic model with a Virtual class on the schedule will be assigned a designated room on campus during that particular class period to engage with the Virtual model class online. More information about this will be coming for the small percentage of students that are in this situation.
"See Counselor": Students who have "see Counselor" on their schedule will be notified by a counselor to discuss course request options. A counselor will reach out as soon as possible; priority will be given to students who have a "See Counselor" on the schedule for a class period in the Fall term.

The VUSD Reopening webpage has the most robust set of information about plans and expectations for the 2020-2021 school year.
