SCHEDULE CHANGE: The HS volleyball competition on September 1st is now a dual against Cair Paravel, with the matchup against Bishop Seabury being moved to September 21st at 4pm. Thank you for keeping up with our schedule changes as this season promises to have a few more!
Due to the uncertainty of the fall athletic schedule, notable ceremonies have now been moved to new dates. Specifically, HS volleyball will now celebrate Senior Night on September 1st, against Cair Paravel. For HS football, the annual Homecoming game will now occur on September 11th, against Southern Coffey County. Go Trojans!
If your child is going to be gone please call the office by 9 AM.
If you need to make alternate arrangements for your child after school please call the school before 3 PM.
Just a quick reminder that menus for both buildings are located on our website under dining.
Sack lunches are not able to be stored in refrigerators at school. They will need to be kept in lockers until lunch time. We are also not able to reheat lunches. You may send a drink with your child's lunch but it needs to be water, fruit juice, or milk. Soda is not allowed at lunch.
We had a fantastic first day at MdCV!! Thank you students, staff, parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles for bearing with us during all of the changes.
SCHEDULE CHANGE: Due to the guidance from KSHSAA and the Lyon County League, the Burlingame Volleyball Tournament on August 29, 2020, at 9am, has changed to a multi-site tournament. Specifically, MDCV is now the host of a quad of participating teams, including your Lady Trojans. Good luck ladies!
Tomorrow is the day! Just a few reminders.
-School starts at 8:00am and runs until 3:30pm.
-Shuttle busses leave at 7:30 from both buildings.
-With the exception of those riding the shuttle buses, we ask that no student should be on either campus until 7:30am.
-Students and staff will only be using the rear doors at Melvern at this time, and will report upon arrival to the commons/big gym until dismissed to classes.

Thank you, we will see all students tomorrow!

SCHEDULE CHANGE: Out of an abundance of caution and with an eye on focusing on competition dates, Marais des Cygnes Valley has cancelled its' annual "Meet the Trojans" event and the Preseason Football Jamboree for the 2020-2021 school year. In a season of potential uncertainty, maintaining the ability to meet the games on the regular schedule outweighs the want to conduct a pre-season scrimmage. Our aim is to continue these dates next school year.
Student/staff water bottles are in and looking good!
The photo linked to this post is the only photographic evidence of the EPIC dance line conducted by certified staff as they began their first day of in-service.
Mr. Whitson may have won the “Best Moves” prize, but comment below on which teacher you wished you had seen perform their sick moves?!?!
We are so happy to be back!
