    Over the past 2-days we have seen an influx of food delivery services to our campus.  Please be advised of the following school policies: 

    1) Food delivery services (GrubHub, FoodJets, Door Dash, etc.) will be turned away upon entering our campus and students will not be refunded any money from the school.  

    2)  Food deliveries from family members must be checked in at the attendance office.  We will not pull students out of class to receive their food.  Family members must notify their student and have them pick their food up in the attendance office between classes and/or during lunch.   MVHS has visitor parking in the parking lot adjacent to the small gym.  

     

    Additionally, please know that all students do receive free lunch service throughout the 2021-2022 school year. 

     

    Thank you for your help in following these policies.

    Hello Maverick Nation, 

    Due to an oversight on my part I have made changes to our Bell Schedule/Finals Schedule.  Originally, MVHS did not have final dates set for Term 1 (October 7) and Term 3 (March 17).  As a result, I have edited our bell schedule finals dates (not adding days to the calendar, but editing the release time for students).  Here are the changes: 

    TERM 1 Updates

    October 6 - 1st and 2nd Period Only - Finals Schedule and students will be on campus from 8:15 - 12:35. 

    October 7 - 3rd and 4th Period Only - Finals Schedule and students will be on campus from 8:15 - 12:35.

    October 8 - Continue as planned - No School, recess day

    **Bus transportation department has been notified of this change. 

    **Please note that on finals days students will only attend two periods each day. 

     

    TERM 3 Updates

    March 16 - 1st and 2nd Period Only - Finals Schedule and students will be on campus from 8:15 - 12:35.

    March 17 - 3rd and 4th Period Only - Finals Schedule and students will be on campus from 8:15 - 12:35.

    March 18 - Continue as planned - No School, recess day

    **Bus transportation department has been notified of this change. 

    **Please note that on finals days students will only attend two periods each day.
