Grown and Flown Please stick with me 

I recently ran across this post from Grown and Flown, a website that covers a range of issues relating to parenting teens. I felt compelled to share this one with you, as its expression of what our middle level students may experience feels so real. Parenting middle level learners is a journey unlike any other. Thank you for all you do to stick with your kids through the rocky road of adolescence.

Dr. Lori Katz, MVMS Principal

We will be holding a parent meeting for students attending the Washington D.C. field trip on Wednesday, April 30 at 6:00 PM. The meeting will take place in the MVMS Cafeteria.

Hello parents and friends of the MVMS Class of 2029!!! We are so excited for the kids’ 8th grade semi formal on May 16th. Please review the flyer below for dance info, important dates about tickets sold during lunch and presale online, as well as night of ticket sales info!

We have an amazing group of volunteers but could use your help to make this the best night EVER for our kids!

Check out our Amazon wish list for a quick and easy way to send party supplies!

Monetary donations are welcome as well for items not able to be purchased on Amazon and we are hoping to buy pizza for the kids. Please Venmo Jason-Wells72 and add MVMS Dance in the “What’s it for” line. 

Thank you SO MUCH for your consideration and support! Please email mtvernonmiddleschoolpto@gmail.com with any questions. 

Parents as we approach the end of the year the MVMS library would like to thank you and your students for taking good care of their library materials. We have a low overdue count compared to last year. Books have been searched for and returned. Many lost book fees have been paid. Please note we never charge an overdue fine. The only fee charged would be for a lost or destroyed book. Books can be returned at any point and to any school library. Keep looking under those beds and in the car!

If your student will be absent from school please notify us by one of the following methods:

If a student is going to be absent from the school for the day, parents/guardians have the responsibility to notify the attendance secretary by 10:00 am with verification of the absence. Documentation of absences must be received within three days of the absence. An illness of three days or longer will require doctor verification for the entire absence to be excused. When a student is absent for a full or partial day due to a doctor, dental, or another appointment(s) a school excuse note from the provider will be required for the absence to be excused.

Athletic Website click Here

Anyone interested in trying out for an athletic team is required to complete and submit to the Athletic office the IHSAA Sports Physical and Final Forms prior to tryouts.

Please read the information HERE regarding attendance at Mt. Vernon High School athletic events.

The nurse is usually in her office from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Dropping off medication for a student can be tricky after 3:00 PM due to the car rider line forming and SR-234 being closed in front of the school. Lunchtime (11:00 AM to 1:00 PM) is a busy period in the clinic, so if you drop off medication during this time, please be aware that your visit may take longer.

I am still missing several students' asthma and allergy action plans. If these forms are not submitted, your child(ren) may be excluded from field trips. These forms must be signed by both you and your physician. They are available on our website here.

It is helpful if students bring a water bottle to school each day to stay hydrated throughout the day. It is also important that they have a good breakfast in the morning before school.
