Early April: Immersion Open House, Welcome Spanish Substitute, Bump-up Day, & Course Scheduling Day for 2012-13


Monday, 9 April 2012

Greetings Upper School Parents:

We have had a busy first week to start the Spring Trimester.  Here are reminders of activities, events, and initiatives underway in the Upper School.

I am pleased to introduce Laura Skidmore to the MVS community as our upper school Spanish substitute for the spring term.  In addition to teaching at the college and high school levels, Mrs. Skidmore received high accolades at the 2012 Ohio Foreign Language Association conference for her use of technology in the Spanish classroom.  She has already been in close contact with Gabriela Sparks regarding course content and assignments planned for the spring term.  Please join me in welcoming her to MVS.

Immersion Open House is this Wednesday, 11 April from 7:00-8:30PM in the Lane Gymnasium and Lofino Atrium.  Since Immersion represents the pinnacle of MVS’ commitment to experiential learning, please feel free to invite neighbors, friends, and relatives to attend open house, celebrating student accomplishments and experiences from Immersion 2012.

Bump-Up Day for the Class of 2016 (allowing for current 8th grade students to visit and experience upper school classes) occurs this Friday, 13 April.  To provide space for 8th grade students to attend upper school classes, the 9th grade students, along with our 6th grade, will spend the morning off campus bowling.

Upper school Course Scheduling Day for grades 9-11 occurs next Friday, 20 April on campus from 8:00AM – 5:00PM.  An e.mail was sent earlier today with a weblink for on-line scheduling of a convenient time to meet with your child’s Academic Advisor to confirm his or her courses for the 2012-13 academic year.

We have had lots of student visitors shadowing MVS classes in the Upper School.  If your daughter or son has a friend interested in learning more about MVS, including visiting and experiencing classes, please contact our Admissions Office to arrange for an official school visit.

All upper school letters and reminders are also posted to my MVS Blog at
http://wagnersmvsblog.blogspot.com/, where I invite your suggestions, comments, and continuing support.  I look forward to seeing you in bleachers or on the sidelines at an MVS athletic event soon.

With sincere regards,


Sam Wagner
Head of Upper School
