Dear Students and Families,

This week at MVIS, our CHARGE focus is on the E – Effort. We are encouraging students to remember that learning is a journey, and consistent effort is what helps them grow. Giving effort means staying engaged in class, completing assignments with care, and not giving up when something feels challenging. A few tips we’re sharing with students include: (1) Break big tasks into smaller steps to make them more manageable, (2) Double-check work before turning it in to catch simple mistakes, and (3) Ask questions or seek help when they don’t understand. By putting forth their best effort, students build not only academic success but also confidence and perseverance!

Let's Go, Marauders!

Sincerely,

Ms. Ashley Gustin 

Principal
