HEALTHY SCHOOL MEALS FOR ALL!

The new Healthy School Meals for All program begins in August for the 23-24 school year. The HSMA program provides FREE meals for ALL students regardless of income.

Do families need to fill out the free and reduced meal benefits form?

YES! Families will still be asked to provide household income information on a new

form.

The 2023-2024 meal application is now LIVE and parents can start applying online. Application: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application

WHY should I fill out a meal benefits form?

The HSMA program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on that income information to support meals for ALL students. Other state and federal grants for school are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates - this could mean more money for your school!

PLUS...Families who qualify may receive discounted or waived school fees, sports

fees, utilities support and more.

*All household income information is confidential

and will not be shared without your consent.

Class schedules will be released to students the week of August 7th. Students and Parent/Guardians can see schedules in Infinite Campus.

Welcome back Lions!

Mountain View offers a variety of fall sports programs for any level of athlete:

football, cheer, volleyball, boys tennis, boys golf, softball, boys soccer, and coed cross country! Join a team! Tryouts begin on August 7th! Check out https://mvhsathletics.org/ to get registered!

Athletic fees have increased this year! Please plan on paying this fee before your first competition! Contact Dusty Connell in the athletic office if you have any questions. 970-613-7826

Many have asked "Where is Mountain View High School's School Supply List?" Student have so many choices when they attend high school and every student has a very different path in high school. Therefore, we do NOT provide a supply list.

Each student will receive from their teachers the first couple days of class a list of supplies they will need for their classes.

Thompson Education Foundation's Help Kids Succeed school supply program will provide almost 1,600 supply-filled backpacks for our economically vulnerable students this year.

Families should visit the school in which they are registered to receive a backpack. For example, if a requesting family has two students, one in 4th grade and one in 9th grade, they would need to visit both their registered elementary school and high school to receive backpacks. Supplies are different for elementary/middle/high school levels.

Chromebooks will be distributed to students through the MVHS Media Center during the first week of school. New this year... each grade level will be assigned a specific model of Chromebook.

It is a TSD expectation that every student checks out a district issued device to use while on campus. It is also a TSD expectation that students bring their device fully charged and ready to use every day to class. Students are responsible for damages and/or loss of the Chromebook device that is assigned to them. Please see the Thompson School District Tech4All website for more information and to read the Acceptable Use Policy.

TOL students will get their devices from TVHS and will need to reach out to them regarding the best time to pick those up.

SOARS students will get their devices from their home school. MVHS SOARS students can contact Jenn or Amy at the MVHS library to coordinate a time during the first week of school to get a device.

Please note that a device for the 23-24 school year will NOT be given to students who have outstanding Chromebook devices from MVHS or other TSD schools AND/OR students who have outstanding fines for lost Chromebooks.

Have a device that needs to be returned? Please see a Library Staff Member or the MVHS Front Office Staff.
