Welcome Back, MVMS Families!

I hope this message finds you rested, recharged, and ready for another incredible school year! As we begin this new chapter together, I’m filled with gratitude for our school community and excitement for what lies ahead.

This year, we remain committed to growing in ways that matter most—academically, socially, and emotionally. Our focus on connection, challenge, and care will continue to guide everything we do. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together and confident in the momentum we’re building.

A very special welcome to our new families—thank you for choosing MVMS. You’re joining a school that believes deeply in the potential of young adolescents and the power of partnership between home and school. We’re so glad you’re here.

Here’s to a great year ahead—one of learning, belonging, and continued growth!

Warmly,

We recognize that all MV schools are holding back-to-school nights on the same night. If you are able to attend at the times below, this will help with congestion in the building and the parking lots. However, if you need to attend at a different time due to family needs, we understand and are happy to see you at any time!

This year, students will change into a wellness uniform for PE to support a more active, focused, and respectful learning environment. The uniform is designed to ensure all students are dressed appropriately for movement, promoting safety, comfort, and full participation in physical activities. Having a consistent PE uniform also helps reduce distractions, supports personal hygiene, and encourages a sense of routine and responsibility. Most importantly, it reflects our commitment to student wellness by helping every student feel prepared and confident during class.

Our PTO has always played a vital role in shaping the MVMS experience for both students and staff—and now, we need your help to rebuild and reenergize this important group.

From teacher appreciation events to student celebrations and field trips, many of the things our kids look forward to most wouldn’t be possible without a strong PTO. When families get involved, the impact is felt throughout the entire school community.

Whether you’re a planner, a helper, or just someone who cares deeply about making MVMS the best it can be—we’d love for you to join us. Every contribution makes a difference!

Let’s work together to make this year unforgettable for our students and staff!

Setting goals helps students stay focused, motivated, and organized. It encourages responsibility and self-discipline, boosting academic performance and personal growth. By making goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART), students can track progress, build confidence, and develop important skills for academic and personal success.

Share your goals for the 2025-26 school year here for a chance to win AirPods.

FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) offers middle and high school students opportunities to develop leadership, career, and life skills. Through hands-on projects, community service, and teamwork, students build confidence and prepare for future success in school and beyond.
