Armed Forces

On occasion, MHHS has the opportunity to host recruiters from the U.S. Armed Forces on our campus. Today, October 20, 2021, representatives were on campus. They set up a booth during lunchtime for students to learn more about opportunities to serve in the military and how service in the armed forces can benefit them in their educational pursuits.  Representatives on our campus are active-duty military personnel and help students understand the kinds of careers and educational opportunities students can get through the armed forces. 

Today's visitors were from the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps. The representatives were given specific guidelines to follow, and they were asked not to approach the students. Students, however, were welcome to visit their tables and ask for information.

We look forward to visits from other branches of the military, as well as recruiters and visitors from colleges, universities, and trade schools that will be of interest to students as they prepare themselves for the world of post-high school training, college, and careers.

SUCCESS! Conferences Next Week

 

Next Monday and Tuesday (10/18-19) will be early release days for parent/teacher SUCCESS! conferences. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 on both of those days and the schedule can be found here. 

The purpose of the SUCCESS! conferences are for teachers to provide individualized feedback and support to parents of students who are struggling to demonstrate competency. Teachers will be reaching out directly to parents of students who had a D or F on their first quarter report card to schedule a conference. Students who had more than 3 Fs total on their first quarter progress report will have a meeting scheduled through their counselor. 

Conferences will be 5-7 minutes in length and conducted virtually. Individual teachers will send the information to join their virtual conferences when they are scheduled. Teachers will share current student progress along with tips on what students can do to improve their performance. Parents of students who received Ds or Fs on their report card should expect to be contacted via email this week to schedule the conferences. 

While you may have questions about your student’s progress in courses even if they are not struggling to demonstrate competency, the priority for next week's parent/teacher conferences is supporting those students who need the most support. If you have specific questions about your student’s progress or course content please reach out to those teachers via email. 

First quarter report card grades will be posted in the Aeries Parent Portal on Thursday 10/14. 

The best way to keep track of student progress is by creating a Canvas Parent Observer Account. If you have not yet done so, instructions can be found here. 

Parent/Teacher SUCCESS! Conferences

Objective: Provide individualized feedback and support to parents of students who are struggling to demonstrate competency.

When: Monday 10/18 and Tuesday 10/19

Where: Virtual. Teachers will send out links to join conferences when they are scheduled. 

Exchange Student Host Family Needed ASAP

Did you know that Mountain House High School has several exchange students from around the world this year?   We have students from Spain, Italy, Brazil, Mongolia, Korea, and Germany, and they are such a great addition to our multicultural 'Ohana here at MHHS.  While most of our students have been placed permanently this year, we do have one student still in need of a placement for the remainder of the school year.  Filippo Vario who is currently attending school at MHHS has been staying at a temporary placement, but due to regulations, he needs a permanent placement.  Filippo is an awesome young man who is respectful, is a great soccer player, and very helpful around the house as a contributing family member.  We're looking for a Mountain House family or faculty or staff member who is willing to host Filippo so that he is eligible to stay here in Mountain House for the remainder of the year.  

If you are interested in hosting Filippo for the remainder of the school year, contact Cultural Homestay International coordinator Ceci Haas at cecihaas@gmail.com
