We are excited to announce an AP TEST TIPS session for APAA students.

Veteran AP teachers will share study tips for upcoming AP exams during the

Countdown to AP Exams session.

March 28th

5:30 pm to 6:40 pm EST (4:30-5:40 CST)

It will consist of a teacher roundtable which will offer general study tips for all exams, followed by teacher-led, subject-specific breakout rooms where students can receive tips and ask questions about their specific exams. The event will wrap up with final thoughts and provide teacher emails for future questions/contact.
To register, please complete the Countdown to Exams Participant Form.

Our first batch of MVS seniors will graduate from MVS on May 12th at 1:00PM. The ceremony will take place in the MCS Multipurpose Room at MVS. Gowns and diploma covers have already been ordered. More information will be sent out directly to seniors soon. We are so proud of you!

April 17 through May 12 is testing season! Students in grades 2, 7-12 will be taking TCAPs, EOC, and SDC tests here at MVS. Students in grades 4-6 will be taking TCAPs at Coulter Grove Intermediate School. AP tests will be taken at either Maryville High School or Maryville Junior High School. Please click the below button to see the schedule. All testing sessions are half-days. After break, we will send out exact times for all sessions.

We will start registering for next year's class after Spring Break. More information will come out on this closer to that time. Note: If you are wanting to transfer back to your zoned on-site school for the 23-24 school year, in May, you will come in to MVS and complete the transfer paperwork and then register with your on-site school.

Each week, we will be sending out a weekly progress report with current grades and attendance. This is the same information you can get by logging into the PowerSchool parent portal, but hopefully it will just be a simple reminder of your child's progress. If you want to see specific assignment grades, you may still login to PowerSchool. If you have a question about a grade or have an attendance question, please reach out to the teacher via email.

We are instituting a new cell phone policy for students who are invited in to MVS to work on assignments or to take assessments. Students may bring their cell phones with them to MVS, but cell phones need to stay stowed away out of site in back backs or pockets. Any exceptions to this will be handled by the teacher in the room, which could include contacting a parent for pick up or listen to music through headphones while working (unless the work is something that needs to be listened to). Students who do not follow this policy will be asked to place their phone the teacher's desk or to work from home.
