MVHS Faculty and Staff are gearing up for Vista Classic students beginning October 20th. This plan is contingent upon the status of our County's health orders - namely staying out of the "purple tier".

Please see this general FAQ about what the reopening of in-person learning will look like at MVHS.

Students who have selected the Virtual Model will continue online learning as-is.

Attention Class of 2024:

All 9th graders in the Classic model are invited to join us on Monday, October 19th, for on-campus orientation. During orientation, you will take a tour of the campus, led by our wonderful Link Crew Leaders, review safety procedures, and pick up a Chromebook (if needed).

Students will meet their Link Leader at the outdoor amphitheater located on the backside of the theatre. Below are the times:

Last names A-L 9:30 am-10:30 am

Last names M-Z 11:30 am- 12:30 pm

If you are interested, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS RSVP FORM by October 14th.

As we prepare for Classic students to return on 10/20, our staff and faculty are going to need the time to finalize preparation work in classrooms and across campus. Friday, October 16 and Monday, October 19th are instructional days for students, and most classes will be conducted asynchronously. In most cases, students will login to each course on time, receive brief instructions for the day, then will have the flexibility to complete assignments asynchronously.

Our two-model approach to learning created many complexities within our master schedule this year. One significant complexity is the fact that some courses are only offered once, and they are offered in the virtual model. Some of our Classic students are enrolled in those virtual classes; when we return to campus, the Classic students will be assigned to a space on campus to continue working with the virtual class online. We will provide more detail to these students when we return.

Fall 2020 Advanced Placement Students:

The time has come for you to complete the College Board and AP Exam Registration process. This process is required for all students enrolled in an AP course at Mission Vista High School, regardless of your intention to take the accompanying exam during spring term. To avoid late fees you MUST complete registration no later than October 30, 2020.

Directions:

1. Watch the registration video in its entirety and follow all directions within.
2. Use the 2021 AP Class Join Codes to locate your course code(s) for the FALL TERM ONLY and complete your registration for both College Board and Total Registration.

IMPORTANT!

• Do NOT create a new account if you have already created one and simply forgot your password. Follow the directions in the video.
• Do NOT register for Spring courses yet.
• Students should complete the registration process themselves rather than mom/dad completing it.
• It is essential to change the current exam status from "undeclared" to YES or NO

Please direct any questions or concerns to our AP Coordinator, Mrs. Zein Sleiman-Stearman at zeinsleiman-stearman@vistausd.org.
