8th grade parents/guardians
  • Stampede day is 8/7/25, MVHS freshman orientation is 8/8/25
  • Click here for helpful resources from MVHS
  • IF your student has received a transfer approval, and does NOT have an IEP, the schools will transfer course selection requests. IF your student has been approved for a transfer with an IEP, the course selections will be addressed at the IEP transition meeting.
  • Please continue to email Mrs. Mahoney with high school questions/concerns, NOT the high school counselors. She is still your student's counselor and the high school counselors are busy helping students graduate.
  • Acceleration/advancement – Please see this SRVUSD link for details (updated in February). Please note that any class(es) taken for acceleration/advancement can NOT be completed BEFORE the last day of 8th grade.
  • As you receive private high school acceptance letters, please notify the Counseling department so we can ensure his/her/their cumulative file is sent to the appropriate school.

PERSONAL/SOCIAL

"HANDLE WITH CARE" - if your family is experiencing difficulty at home, we would like to provide additional supports at school. We understand that you are not always able to share details and that's ok. If your child is coming to school after a difficult night, morning or weekend, please text "Handle with Care" to 925-272-9639. Nothing else will be said or asked. This will let us know that your child may need extra time, patience or help during the day.

We would like to extend an invitation for you to share any transitions your family may be going through with our Counselors. While we respect your privacy, oftentimes students can be distracted and unable to learn when they are worried or anxious. All information is kept strictly confidential.
 
COLLEGE/CAREER

Our 20th annual Career Fair is Friday, 4/24/26. Sign up here so you don't miss out! If you have a career you would like to share with our students and/or would like to volunteer, please fill in this brief form.
