Dress Code
Please review the dress code information carefully, as it is outlined in the Student Handbook. Some programs have uniform requirements that will be further explained to you in a separate mailing or on the first day of school. If you are unsure or have questions, please contact your lab instructor.
Daily Schedule at MVCTC
Students attend MVCTC from 8:05 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. each day. The school day consists of hands-on career-technical program training, English, science, social studies, math, and elective classes. Students should arrive at MVCTC no earlier than 7:40 am. Once students arrive on campus, they should report to the MAC and not leave campus without the building principal's permission.
Attendance
Daily attendance and punctuality are essential for success in school and for success in the workplace. All absence hours, including tardies, whether excused or unexcused, will be calculated toward the absence thresholds established to participate in the Senior Recognition ceremony held at the conclusion of the senior year and for club and event participation, awards, and special honors. When life happens, and you must be absent, please contact Mrs. Joyce Goff at 937-854-6362 and leave a message with the following information: the student’s first and last name, parent or guardian’s name, the student's program, date of absence, and reason for absence. The attendance line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for your reporting convenience. A student who has been absent must get an admit slip from the attendance office at A100 on the day of his/her return. This pass must be presented to the teacher to enter a class after an absence, regardless of the nature of the absence.
To report an absence or have attendance questions, contact:
Attendance Secretary Mrs. Joyce Goff | ✉️ jgoff@mvctc.com | ☎️ 937-854-6362
Supplies
Please see the link below for suggested academic supplies and materials. For the most part, labs will require basic school supplies. The lab instructor may reach out prior to the start of the school year with additional suggestions; otherwise, it will be communicated at Schedule Pick-Up/Staff Meet & Greet or on the first day of school.
Transportation to MVCTC
Our 27 partner school districts provide transportation for students attending their district to MVCTC. Please contact your school district if you have questions about bus pick-ups and drop-offs.
❗Students who are open-enrolled (do not attend one of the 27 partner schools) OR participate in Pre-apprenticeship, Internship, or Advanced Placement are responsible for providing their own daily transportation.
If you are driving, getting dropped off, or getting picked up, please view the following links to assist:
If a student’s partner school district is not in session but MVCTC is, MVCTC students should consult their partner school district to verify transportation arrangements. Outside of school calamity days (i.e., school delays, snow days), students are expected to attend the MVCTC even though their partner school is not in session.
Parking Pass
Parking passes will go live on the first day of school at this link www.mvctc.com/security/permanent-parking-pass.
Students must still follow the parking guidelines outlined in the MVCTC Student Handbook. (The Student Handbook is available online under the Current Students Tab.
Staying Connected to Partner School
Students are still enrolled at their partner high school while attending MVCTC. It is encouraged that the student continue to participate in extra-curricular activities, including, sports, clubs, band, choir, orchestra, theater, etc. Students will receive their high school diploma from their partner school district, and a Career Passport from MVCTC. We highly encourage your student to stay connected by checking their MVCTC school email daily for updates from their partner school, listen to morning announcements, read announcements running on screens during lunch, and meet with your partner school counselor when they visit MVCTC.

MVCTC Policies on Inclement Weather
What to do if your partner school is closed/delayed due to bad weather
When a partner school is closed due to weather conditions or other calamities, students from the closed school are not required to report to MVCTC. Students may report if they choose to find a safe way to MVCTC. Students from other schools that are not closed are required to report to MVCTC as usual. If the partner school is operating on a delayed schedule, students are required to report at the appropriate time as adjusted by the partner school's delay. Students on advanced placement are not required to report to MVCTC if their home school is on a delayed schedule. If the student reports to the MVCTC at the regular time (and discovers that their home school is on a delay), they are to remain at school and follow the MVCTC schedule.
MVCTC is closed due to bad weather
When MVCTC is closed on the authority of the administration and/or the Board of Education due to weather conditions or other calamities, no student is required to report to school. When such a decision is made, the media and TV newsrooms are immediately notified, and a School Messenger System phone call will be sent to families at the numbers they have on file with the district. Please ensure that the phone number on file with the MVCTC is current. Please do not call personnel, the school offices, or the media. Listen to the radio or TV for announcements, or visit www.mvctc.com
