Viking Vibes
Engage. Educate. Empower.
Volume 2 ~ Issue 24 ~ Week of February 4, 2024
💛 Message from the Principal 💛
We had an awesome week of elementary school visits last week! We visited Bayside, Berry, Central, Emory, and IB Charter to share the great things we are doing at MVA! We will be wrapping up the last of our visits at Mendoza and Oneonta this week. We were excited to meet so many 6th graders and hope to see them this Wednesday at Viking Family Night, and then as Vikings in July! 🤗
The first Progress Report is only 3 weeks away...are you doing what it takes to make it a successful one? Don't forget we offer Tutoring after school Mondays-Thursdays from 3:20-4:20pm. We also have Saturday School this weekend on February 10th. Vikings, be sure to take advantage of these opportunities for teachers to support you and get your grades up. Remember, you need to pass ALL of your classes in order to participate in the promotion ceremony. This is especially important for 8th graders as there will be no opportunity for you to make up Semester 2 failed classes. Let's do the right thing now, so we can reap the benefits later, Vikings! 💛
Congratulations to Mr. Ezell's Advisory class on winning last week's Music Monday! Will your Advisory win tomorrow?!?!
Let's make it a great week, Vikings! 💛
💙 MVA loves our School Counselors!! 💛
