Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer vacation, filled with lasting memories with your loved ones. I am truly honored and privileged to begin another school year at Marysville High School.

At Marysville High School, our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to fostering a positive, challenging, and academically-focused learning environment for all students. Our goal is to provide engaging learning activities that promote high levels of critical thinking and reasoning, with an emphasis on applying knowledge to real-world situations. Last school year, I was thrilled to see so many students challenging themselves academically. This year, in response to student interest, we are excited to offer four new Advanced Placement courses: AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, AP Government, and AP Literature.

A key component of a successful school is the strong partnership between the school and parents, working together to support the best interests of our students. I encourage parents to stay actively involved and to reach out to administration with any questions or concerns.

Students, I urge you to explore something new this year. With our wide range of athletic programs, fine arts opportunities, and clubs, there is something for everyone to enjoy. As many recent graduates can attest, your four years of high school will pass quickly—so make the most of it!

If you have not done so yet, please view the document below with very important information regarding the first week of school, class connections, and calendar dates you won't want to miss.

ATTENTION ALL FRESHMEN:

The first Freshmen steering committee to discuss homecoming will be Tuesday, Sept. 10th in room C206 during FIT. If you would like to have a voice in your grade level's theme, please plan to attend!

STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THOSE INTERESTED:

The first student council meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 11th in the media center. If you would like to have a voice in all things homecoming and more, please plan to attend!

It is important that each night you charge your Chromebook and bring it with you daily to school.

If you are returning a borrowed Chromebook or chargers to the counseling office, please make sure to check in with Mrs. Watson so that your name is removed from the borrowed list.

This year, any student utilizing the school's parking lot will be assigned a parking spot. This is done in student services.

Standard parking passes are $30.00

Students who are dressed inappropriately will be asked to change clothing immediately. If necessary, parents will be called to bring appropriate clothing, students can use extra clothing provided by the District, or the student may be sent home to change. Repeated dress code violations may result in more severe consequences.

Dress Code Details:

Tops must have straps or sleeves and must cover the student’s entire torso from armpit to armpit. Pants, shorts, and skirts must have an inseam at least 4 inches in length. Clothing may not display material that:

• Is materially and substantially disruptive or that school officials can reasonably forecast will create a substantial disruption;

Attendance matters! Your child is allowed 10 absences per semester. Once your child has reached 5 absences in the semester, a letter will be sent home. If your child exceeds 10 absences an attendance meeting will be held with Dr. Jowett to implement an attendance contract for the remainder of the semester.

If your child must miss school please contact the office and let us know by 2:00 pm. You may either call us at the attendance line or call directly 810 364-7313. Remember to give us a reason for the absence so we can code it correctly (ie. sick, parent request, medical appointment, injury, bereavement, vacation etc.). If you do not contact us by 3:00pm the following school day, your child will be marked unexcused.
