Because of the storms last week, Maryville High School moved its Homecoming Parade to this Friday starting at about 9:40. The parade will start across from MJHS and end at MHS. The best viewing spot for the community during the parade is along Cedar Street between the park by MJHS and Mountain View.

Using AI Assistance for Assignments
AI is an interesting field that is emerging everywhere and does have some important ties to education. Teachers everywhere are learning more about AI and how it can be used effectively as a part of education. With that being said, if a teacher wants your student to use AI to help with an assignment or writing, then he or she will let them know that when the assignment is made. Unless a teacher gives students permission to use AI for a specific assignment, students are not to use Artificial Intelligence sites or apps to help with MVS assignments. Work that is generated with the use of AI will be treated like plagiarism and will be graded as such. If this occurs, teachers may give students the option to come into MVS to rewrite an essay with paper and pencil or monitored technology.
