Time is running out! If you haven’t completed the 2020 Census yet, you can still respond online, by phone, or by mail. Census results shape the future of communities, as census data informs how billions of dollars in federal funds are distributed for health clinics, school lunch programs, disaster recovery initiatives, & other critical programs & services for the next 10 years.

As schools go remote and activities get cancelled, please make sure to stay up to date with our Sport Schedules. We have just updated HS Volleyball and HS Football. You can access all updated schedules here: https://www.apptegy.net/s/documents-district-missionvalleyks/browse/164676#

PSAT/NMSQT Assessment is being held on 10/14/2020 from 8:15-11:30 a.m. This assessment does have scholarship opportunities available for those that score well. This assessment is focused on sophomores, but juniors/seniors can take it as well. Cost is $16, waivers are available. A sign up sheet will be put up next to the counselor's office on 9/4/2020. Slots are limited, so if you would like your child to take this assessment please have them sign up starting 9/4/2020. The more assessments taken, of this type/fashion, will only better prepare them to increase their ACT or SAT scores. Higher ACT/SAT scores increase chances for ease of admission, scholarship opportunities, and the possibility of not having to take some lower lever prerequisite college classes (saves money & time). If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Hancock at jhancock@mv330.org or 866-557-6686 ext 230.
