Dear Parents,
It was wonderful to see our Jr. Trojans and families last night at Open House! Our first day of school is tomorrow, Friday, August 1.
Any parent walking in the first day of school should park in the lower lot and accompany your student to the gym door with your ID. Kindergarten parents do not have to RSVP for the 1st day of school.
If you or your business are interested in being a Partner in Education with MVES, please review the PIE information below. The deadline for partnerships to be included on this year's t-shirt is Friday, August 8. Thank you!
The updated 25-26 MVES Handbook is available by clicking the dates (3 lines) at the top of the site.
We are looking forward to a fabulous 2025-26 school year! Thank you for your partnership as we work together for our students' success!
Go Trojans!
Jennifer Westbrook

INFINITE CAMPUS PARENT PORTAL REQUIRED FORMS
During the week of July 7th, parents received in Parent Portal documents to confirm or update household, emergency contact, and student information for their child(ren) for the upcoming school year.
When parents log into Infinite Campus Parent Portal for the first time this year, parents will be prompted by a pop-up message to complete an Annual Census Update before accessing your student’s information, including viewing class schedules when published by your child’s school.
Parents will need to confirm or update household, emergency contact, and student information. For security purposes parents will need to upload a copy of their ID for each child. The process can be completed on any device; however, it is recommended that the process be completed on a mobile phone to make uploading of parent ID easier. Any parent without a device can complete the task at your child’s school at Open House.
Once the Annual Census Update has been filled out, parents will need to complete one form that includes below information:
Compulsory Education Notification
Book Notification
Student Services Program Acknowledgment
Digital Media Release
Scoliosis Screening Program (Grades 6 and 8 only)
Participation in Clubs and Organizations (Middle and High School only)
Code of Conduct
Student School Agendas and Planning Guides
Student Device Acceptable Use and Checkout Agreement
If you have any questions or need any help accessing your Parent Portal, please contact our front office.

MVES PARTNERS IN EDUCATION
Partners in Education are critical to our success as a community school. Our school community is strengthened by the support of our PIEs, our PTO and The North Hall Community Education Foundation. During the 2024-25 school year, our students and staff received wonderful support from our partners, and we are thankful!
Our primary request is for monetary donations in the amount of $700-$1,000. Donations are primarily used to support school facilities and beautification, school-wide enrichment, and student and staff recognition. Our school also benefits from designated support for initiatives such as technology enhancements and STEM education.
In return for your support of MVES, we are committed to a yearlong recognition program for our Partners in Education. PIEs will be recognized through a variety of ways including school signage, student t-shirts, and school publications. The deadline for partnerships to be included on this year’s field trip t-shirt is Friday, August 8, 2025. Donations can be mailed to MVES, 4844 Jim Hood Rd, Gainesville, GA 30506, or dropped off to Missy Odom at the front office. If you or your business would like one of our PIE appreciation yard signs, please let us know, and one of our team members will deliver a sign to you during the 2025-26 school year. We love to see these signs in our community!
Many of you have a particular area or project that you have generously sponsored for us in the past, and we appreciate your support in these areas! For example, if you supported our Math Master t-shirts during 2024-25, we would love to have your support again this year for our new 2025-26 Math Master t-shirts! Other special areas and projects include professional learning day staff breakfasts or treats, Curriculum Night staff dinner, extracurricular enrichment club sponsors and One School One Book.
Thank you for your support of our school community! Go Trojans!
