Hello MVMS Families,
How is it that May is already here? The final stretch of the school year always seems to arrive faster than expected, and we have a lot ahead in the coming weeks. From end-of-year events to important academic milestones, it’s a busy and exciting time.
With warmer weather and “spring fever” in the air, it can be tempting to lose focus—but staying engaged and finishing strong remains as important as ever.
Have a great week!
Dr. Lori Katz, MVMS Principal

Our school life value terms help guide positive choices each day: Redo, Be Kind, Focus on Your Task, and With Respect.
As we wrap things up this month for the 25/26 school year, students are working on thinking about their future, looking at graduation plans, and learning about working together during their Advisory periods on Wednesdays. We are eager to end the year STRONG!!

Care Closet
This closet is filled with various “basic needs” items for our Mt. Vernon Middle school students. More and more students visit the counseling department needing toiletries, clothing, food, etc. When our students’ basic needs are not met they are unable to learn. We will be forever grateful for any donations!! Please take a look at our Amazon wish list. Thank you in advance for helping our students! ❤️
Catfishing Awareness
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
|
Important School Reminders |
To help us ensure the safety and well-being of all students, we kindly ask that you review and update your child's emergency contact information. Having accurate and current contact details allows us to reach a responsible adult quickly if needed.
In addition, we are implementing a new sign-in/sign-out process through our Raptor system. Keeping your emergency contacts up to date will help streamline this process and reduce delays when students are signed in or out during the school day.
Please take a few moments to log in to Skyward and verify or update your child's emergency contacts.
Thank you for your prompt attention and for helping us maintain a safe and efficient system for our school.

Reporting an Absence
If your student will be absent, please notify the school by 10:00 AM using one of the following methods:
Important Notes:
- Absence documentation must be submitted within 3 days of the absence.
- If the student is sick for 3 or more days, a doctor’s note is required for the absence to be excused.
- For any doctor, dental, or other appointments, a provider’s excuse note is needed for the time missed to be excused.
Picking Students up Early
If your student needs to be picked up early, please notify the school ahead of time to ensure a smooth process:
Please include the following in your message:
- Student’s name
- Name of the person picking student up
- Time of pickup
Parents, please be aware: We close the entrance off of State Road 234 at 3:20 PM for our car rider line. If you plan to pick up your child early, please do so before 3:20 PM, as the entrance will no longer be accessible after that time.
***For safety reasons, individuals must be at least 18 years old to sign a student out of school.***
