Progress Reports are being sent out this Friday, marking the seventh week of school. These reports provide a snapshot of your child's academic progress so far this year. They are a valuable tool to help you gauge where your child is excelling and where they might need additional support. Remember, these are not final grades, but rather an early indicator of how students are performing. This is a great opportunity to reflect and make any necessary adjustments to ensure continued success as we move deeper into the school year.
Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teachers or our counselor if you have any questions or need further support. Let's continue to work together to make this school year a great one!
It's a short but jam-packed week so be sure to read all of the important info in the newsletter below! Let's make it a great week, Vikings!! 💛
Why do we have Monday, September 2nd off? Come to the library, visit our labor day display and learn about the history of workers rights in the United States. We are running a challenge until Friday, September 6th and any students who take the 12 question quiz and score 75% or higher (9 correct) will receive a candy prize!! 🍭🍫 Hope to see you in the library this week!!
Parents/Guardians, students will receive printed copies of their Progress Reports during last period on Friday. Please remind them to show you when they get home. You can also log into Infinite Portal to view your child's Progress Report there.
If you are not pleased with the grades reflected on the Progress Report, don’t worry—there is still plenty of time to improve. First, take some time to discuss the report with your child to understand their perspective on their performance. Encourage them to attend before or after-school tutoring, ask for help from teachers, and set small, manageable goals to address areas of concern.

On the other hand, if your child is doing well, celebrate their achievements! Positive reinforcement goes a long way in motivating students to keep up the good work. Consider setting new goals to maintain or even improve their progress, and continue to encourage good study habits and organization. Whether the grades are high or lower than expected, we are here to support every student on their path to success.
Viking Families, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I will be taking a temporary leave of absence from Friday, September 6th through October 6th to recover from a hip replacement surgery. In my absence, former MVA Principal, Mr. Tom Winters will be covering me and providing support to our students and staff. As always, my Assistant Principal, Mr. Juan Murillo, is also there to support and answer any questions, comments, or concerns. You will all be in good hands as there is no doubt that Mr. Winters and Mr. Murillo will take good care of you all. It is my hope that I will return after Fall Break ready to challenge all of our Vikings in the next Students vs. Staff game or field day events!! 😉 Until then, let's finish these last 3 weeks strong and have a wonderfully relaxing, restful, and enjoyable Fall Break with your loved ones! 💛 Take care, Vikings!
