New and Prospective Students

Step 3: Academic Pathway Planning - Here's the deal:

• Academic Pathway Planning is a student led, four year work-in-process that ALL STUDENTS use for their course selections.

  • Use of the hard copy MVHS Academic Pathway Planner is essential for accuracy and proper course selections.

  • Academic Plan in Aeries Student Portal OPENS for entries after Fall Term deadlines and CLOSES in early February for scheduling.

  • Next year's Master Schedule is designed around these student selections; there are always some limits in capacity.

• Required courses will have enough seats for all students; however, we cannot guarantee availability in all Honors, AP, & electives.

• Master Schedule automatically balances courses between Fall and Spring Terms; students should always verify at the start of the year.

  • Teacher, period in the day, and Fall or Spring Term are not selectable options.

• Master Scheduling prioritizes course offerings by grade level. Being bumped is a random, automated process.

  • Replacement courses (alternates) are pulled from your future Aeries Academic Plan listings; selections should always be of genuine interest.

• Master Scheduling is completed by the end of the current school year. Deadlines are important; within them everyone has the same opportunity.

• Change Request is by online form only, REQUIRES ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL, and opens after students have their actual eight courses (Fall Term).

  • Justifications include: Level Change / Rebalance Fall-Spring / Schedule Error / Other- (explain).

  • Approved start of year changes may impact Fall & Spring Terms and are limited by seat availability.

  • Waitlists are used for over-enrolled courses.  Students must respond promptly if notified.

  • Deadlines are strictly adhered to and shown on our MVHS Counseling webpage.

• Change Request Form closes after fall deadline, reopens for Spring Term in early December, and REQUIRES ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL.

• MVHS is an in-person learning high school.  We do not offer independent study or virtual options at this site.
