Greetings Upper School Parents:
End-of-December events at MVS, including advisory lunches and the traditional all-school-sing, gleefully contributed to a pleasant start to Winter Break. This e.mail serves as official notice that the comments, work habit/effort marks, and grades illustrating your daughter or son’s Winter Trimester mid-term academic progress are now available via MyBackpack.
Mid-term comments for the Winter Trimester are required only for students achieving grades of “C-” or lower or effort marks of “3” and below. As before, mid-terms provide a “quick snapshot” of a student’s academic performance, and should be considered accordingly. Ample time remains to attend to concerns mentioned up to this point, yet attentive preparation and follow-through are necessary. Consider it a good new year’s resolution to start 2011 with robust academic vigor.
On behalf of the upper school faculty and staff, I send hearty wishes towards a restful, safe, and warm Winter Break. I look forward to feeling the renewed spark of energy and intellect when we return to MVS on Tuesday, 4 January to usher-in 2011 and the second half of the Winter Trimester.
With sincere regards,
Sam Wagner
Head of Upper School
