8th Grade Remote Promotion Plans
Because of the distancing and health mandates, 8th grade promotion for LaVenture and Mount Baker will be remote again this year. Plans are underway to celebrate our current 8th grade class that is headed to the high school.
In addition to our remote recognition, both schools are planning an energetic and cheerful campus send-off on the last day of hybrid learning for each cohort.

It's About Respect - Washington State Department of Health Campaign
Everything you do has an effect on others.
Everyone has both physical and emotional boundaries and these boundaries are different from person to person. Emotional boundaries have to do with people’s thoughts and feelings. They aren’t always visible, but they’re just as important as physical boundaries. So remember, all boundaries deserve to be respected!

A Message from Mr. Morales, Migrant Graduation Specialist
I am currently recruiting 8th grade migrant students who would like to attend a 2 week online summer academy focused on study skills where they would get .5 high school English credit.
The academy would go from June 28th to July 16th and it would focus on study skills. If they are interested, they can email me mmoralesmendez@mvsd320.org
