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 7:30 am. Once students arrive on campus, they should report to the MAC and not leave campus without permission from the building principal.

Attendance

Daily attendance and punctuality are essential for success in school and are necessary habits 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, a student 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.

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.

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 as usual to MVCTC. 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 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 according to the number 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
