At November’s PTO meeting, Seth Hamilton, MVCSC Director of Technology (and MVMS parent!), presented guidance on how to parent in a social media age. He covered multiple ways that parents can monitor their child’s technology usage in order to provide “training wheels” for them to navigate their digital world. Visit our district online safety page (MVCSC Online Safety) to learn more about Qustodio (a free resource provided by MV), how to leverage built-in phone controls, and tools to manage the parameters of your child’s cell phone. 

As you reflect on your child’s digital footprint and online safety, you might also explore these additional online resources: 

Please reach out to your child’s counselor with questions or concerns around internet safety.

MVHS counselors will be visiting MVMS on Tuesday, February 10 to speak with students about high school class scheduling. They will also return from February 23 through March 6 to meet individually with students regarding high school course selection. 

All 8th grade families are encouraged to attend this meeting to learn about the new Indiana Diploma and high school scheduling requirements. Even if you have had a student graduate previously, this information is new, and diploma requirements have changed as of this school year.

Please join us in the high school auditorium at 6:00 PM. Enter through Door #7. Handouts will be available—please bring something to write with!

Our school life value terms help guide positive choices each day: Redo, Be Kind, Focus on Your Task, and With Respect.

In February, MVMV’s social-emotional lessons will focus on our life value term Be Kind. Students will learn about empathy, inclusion, and using kind words and actions to support one another. Together, we’re building a caring and respectful school community.

We want to remind families to talk with students about online safety, especially catfishing—when someone pretends to be someone else online. This can happen on Social Media Platforms or Gaming Platforms. Encourage your child to be cautious about who they interact with, avoid sharing personal information, and let a trusted adult know if something online feels confusing or uncomfortable. Open conversations at home help keep students safe and confident online.

We are running very low on spare clothes in the nurse's office. If anyone has any gently used pants/ leggings/ shorts for women or men to donate we would greatly appreciate it! It is always a good idea to pack an extra set in your child's backpack as well because we don't have much to give out!

Thank you,

Angela and Katie, MVMS nurses
