Course scheduling emails are being sent out in regards to the 21-22 Academic Year. The emails have specific instructions in regard to parent/guardian approval of the student's schedule. If there is a class hour that is 'blank' on the schedule, please contact me to help address this. Some hours are blank as I do not intend to make scheduling decisions without student's or parent's input (except for in certain student academic scenarios)., especially if there are options for core or elective classes. To contact me regarding any questions or concerns, my email address is jhancock@mv330.org or you can call me at 866-557-6686 ext 230.
Here is a link to the 21-22 Master Schedule for viewing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16AKSxw7DpRRqlrNCVZ7aHtUCcI15Aizlzl7VNBUhX7Q/edit?usp=sharing
