Back to School Night

Mon, 09/11/2017 - 2:35pm

Back to School Night is this Thursday, 9/14/17.

We look forward to having you visit Mount View Middle School, meet your child’s teachers and learn more about the classes your child is taking this year! 
The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. in your child's homeroom with a brief video broadcast hosted by MVMS administration and the MVMS PTA.  At 6:45 you will move to your child’s period 1 teacher. Please review the details below to make the night an enjoyable, successful one for all.

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Although the evening begins at 6:30 p.m., parking will be challenging.  We suggest that you arrive a few minutes early and that you carpool, if possible. You may also park at Marriotts Ridge High School. Please do not park in the bus loop as it is a fire hazard. Thank you.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Back to School Night is a chance for you to hear about the great things happening in the classrooms of MVMS.  Space is limited and if this year is like years past, the hallways will be filled with adults moving in various directions to get to class on time. Therefore, we request that students remain home during this event.  Don’t worry about getting lost – staff will be available to help you arrive to your child’s classrooms.  We will also have maps available for you to use if needed.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
You should bring a copy of your child's schedule. You can find the schedule on Canvas. Copies of schedules will be available in homeroom. Stop buy the school foyer if you arrive after homeroom to pick up a schedule. You may want to bring something so that you can take notes, if needed. The PTA wants to remind you to bring your checkbook.  You can take care of your PTA membership (dues are $15/person)! 

WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I ARRIVE?
Please proceed to your child's homeroom for the video broadcast that will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. The classroom portion of our Back to School Night Program begins promptly at 6:48 p.m. 

WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR THE EVENING?
The Administration/PTA meeting will kick-off the evening at 6:30 p.m. in your child's homeroom. Once concluded, you will continue the evening following your child’s schedule. The schedule will be based on an “A” day. The schedule is as follows:
