“Parents can only give good advice or put [their children] on the right path, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.”

Students please remind your parents and caregivers that MVMS has only ONE area for student drop-off and pick-up. Have them drive to the green curb at the end of Sycamore Avenue past the gym, pull all the way forward along the curb before stopping, and exit slowly. The staff parking lot next to the gym and the small parking lot in the front of the school are NOT open for drop-off/pick-up. Dropping off at the Community Center or nearby neighborhoods and walking from there is also a good option and decreases traffic congestion. Thank you for helping us to keep our campus safe.

Students and Parents! Check our Lost and Found. Come and see if some of the water bottles, lunchboxes, jackets and sweater are yours! Items will be donated during Spring Break.

Hello 7th GRADERS: Are you interested in becoming a WEB Leader? Applications are due FRIDAY, April 5th! Please see Ms. Varboncoeur or Mr. Aquino with any questions.

They have observed a large number of MVMS students riding without helmets. This is your reminder that helmets are REQUIRED at all times while skateboarding- protect your brain!
