Senior '24 Newsletter

At the end of the school year, the high school will be collecting all Chromebooks. Students are required to turn in their Chromebook following their final exam.

After completing your final exam, you will fill out a form provided by your teacher and leave both the form and your Chromebook in the classroom. If you are enrolled in a summer school or credit flex class, you may keep your Chromebook until you have completed the class. Once you have finished the class, the Chromebook must be turned in at the high school office.

Next fall, MVHS Drama will present the classic Agatha Christie mystery Murder on the Orient Express. Auditions dates are August 28th and 29th, and rehearsals start in late September.

Sophomores and Juniors who have a GPA of 3.5 and above are academically eligible to apply to NHS, and will receive a letter in the mail in late June informing them of a mandatory informational meeting (should they wish to apply) and providing important dates in the application process. Be on the lookout for email from an organization called the “National Society of High School Scholars” (NSHSS), which is not affiliated with the school and is not the same organization as the National Honor Society. Any communication from the MVHS chapter of NHS will come from Mrs. Loveland on school letterhead. If you have questions prior to receiving an eligibility letter, you may find some answers on the NHS website, or stop and talk to Mrs. Loveland (rm 219).

Parents/Guardians of current 11th grade students,

The State of Ohio law requires all students to have a Meningococcal ACWY (MCV4) vaccine before entering 12th grade or they will be withheld from school until the requirements are met. If your child has already had this vaccine, please disregard this message. If your child has not yet received this vaccine, or other school-required immunizations students can receive their immunizations at the Nationwide Children's Hospital School-Based Health Center. Click here to indicate your interest in your student receiving the immunization at the Nationwide Children's Hospital School Based Health Center and a member of their team will be in contact with you to schedule an appointment. Appointments can be conveniently scheduled during the school day during a time that limits an interruption to their learning. There are also times available outside of the school day and they will be open throughout the summer.

If you do not choose to participate in the immunization clinic please make sure your child receives their vaccines before next school year. You can visit the following locations to get the immunizations:
- Your child’s doctor/healthcare provider, call ahead for verification
- The Knox County Health Department Immunization Clinic, call (740) 399-8008 to make an appointment
- Local pharmacies often provide them for ages 13 and up, please be sure to call ahead for verification

There are two exemptions to the state law:
- If your child has a medical condition that prevents him or her from receiving the vaccine, a statement from the student’s health provider (Immunization Exemption Form) is required and must be provided to the school.
- If you object for good cause including religious reasons, fill out the Immunization Exemption Form by clicking the link or by stopping into the school office. The form must be signed by a parent/guardian and turned in to the school office.
