NEW! Sign Up for Free Yard Signs for Promoting 8th Graders - Deadline Today
Our PTSA is ordering yard signs for the 8th graders to celebrate their promotion from middle school. If you would like to order a FREE yard sign for your 8th grader, please complete this form by today, April 30th.
8th Grade Promotion Event
We are absolutely committed to including as many students as possible and how to support those who cannot attend in-person. Watch for more information as we firm up plans. However, if you are a parent, please put June 18 on your calendar for the event!
NEW! Locks for Bike and Skateboards
We do have a new skateboard/scooter rack that is located just outside the assistant principals' office, but still need your own lock. Bikes continue to use the bike racks off the east parking lot.
NEW! No Place for Hate Lesson - Microaggressions
Over the last two weeks our MVMS Social Studies Teachers facilitated our 3rd and final No Place for Hate Lesson for this school year. The No Place for Hate Committee (comprised of students from all grade levels and staff) have diligently worked on rolling out the final topic: microaggressions. The committee teamed up with some of our MVMS art students who created wonderful visual displays that were included in the lesson. Ask your student to share with you their understanding of microaggressions and how to be an ally.
School Dress Code Review
NEW! Community Conversation on Equity
