Senior Parents/Guardians:

We are in the process of verifying graduation requirements for seniors. Mrs. Harper has sent out a canvas notice to students who are missing their financial aid documentation. In order to fulfill Texas graduation requirements, students must either complete FAFSA or submit an opt-out form. This must be completed as soon as possible so that the registrar can update the transcripts with the appropriate codes for graduation. If you are under the age of 18, a parent signature is required on the opt-out form.

**Please understand that submitting the opt-out form does not prohibit your child from completing the FAFSA or receiving financial aid. You can stop by and pick one up in room 1419 or you can print one from this link and fill out and return to Mrs. Harper in room 1419.

CHANGING STUDENT PASSWORDS - When accounts are created, they are created with an default password. Historically, students have not been required to change their password. However, this year there have been many occasions where students report that they believe their account is being logged in by somebody else and activity on their account is not something that they have done. In the technology department, we can only see the account that was logged in and the activity that was done on that account. We cannot tell who the actual person was using that device as another person. After a little background, we are asking that all students change their passwords, by following these instructions: CHANGING ACCOUNT PASSWORD VIA CLEVER. The new password will be user generated, and will only be known by that student.

MHS will NOT accept any Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. deliveries for students. Deliveries of this kind will be turned away. MHS will not reimburse any charges incurred.
