Parents of JH/HS athletes - handbooks/parent letters for your student's specific sport have been posted online for your convenience!
We may not be conducting a parent meeting in person, but it is still important to know your coach's expectations for the season. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your student's coach!
Info can be found here: https://www.mdcv.org/o/mdcv/browse/127722
The buildings have been cleaned, the staff have arrived, and the planning has been set. WE ARE READY for the first day of school on Wednesday, August 19th, 2020! Please make sure your student brings a face covering to wear, a backpack for any items, and a smile on their face for a great year! We cannot wait to welcome your student to our buildings!
REMINDER: JH/HS fall sports will begin practices TODAY, Monday, August 17th, 2020. Practices will begin at 4:00pm. All athletes are required to have a physical on file in order to participate!
Student/staff masks are scheduled to arrive around August 28th, so all are asked to wear masks from home as we begin school for the time being. If your student does not have a mask to wear, please contact your student's school and they can provide an alternative. THANK YOU!
If anyone is interested in an Agility and Power shirt, we are selling them for $20. They will be blue, drifit with the logo below. Appreciate the support!

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!
