Dear Parents / Guardians & Students,

Welcome to the 2013-14 school year, which holds

high promise for students both socially and

academically. Since academics relates directly to

attendance, Moon Valley’s focus will be on ensuring

that students attend school regularly in order to

achieve academic success.

Moon Valley has high expectations for student

punctuality. When the bell rings to start a class, all

tardy students are to report to the Attendance Office

and will return to class with a pass.

Attendance Policy:

A student who reaches his/her thirteenth (13TH)

absence and/or tardy may lose credit eligibility in the

class or classes in which the thirteen (13TH)

absences/tardy are recorded. Parents will be notified

by mail on the fifth (5TH) and eighth (8TH) absence in

order to prevent a student from unknowingly being

placed on academic probation and/or losing credit in

a class. Our automated calling system will notify

parents of unexcused full day absences and

unexcused single period absences.

Parents wanting the automated caller to contact them

at work or cell phone need to contact the Moon

Valley Attendance Office to request this feature.

for Student

Dress

Continuing this year will be a policy to reduce

electronic device distractions. In support of this,

all electronic devices, including cell phones,

iPods, MP3 players and all game devices will

not be allowed during school operating hours

(8am-2:35pm). With this policy, Moon Valley

hopes to improve our students’ classroom

learning. Disciplinary actions will apply to those

who fail to comply with the rules.

Dress Code:

Moon Valley High School Teachers and

Administrators enforce the dress code throughout

the school year. Keep in mind that tops with

shoulder straps less than 2 inches in width are

prohibited.

A detailed account of both attendance and dress

code policy is printed in the student handbook.

For those who have moved during the summer,

please remember to update your contact

information. As always, we thank you for your

support.

Anat Salyer

Assistant Principal of Discipline & Attendance

ARS 13-205.A.5 states, “Student conduct, dress,

and personal appearance must be such that it is

appropriate and meets reasonable safety, health and

decency standards and that it will not disrupt or

distract from the instructional procedure of the

school nor tend to diminish the disciplinary control

of the teacher.”

The school has a responsibility to encourage

students to maintain high standards of scholarship.

This can be accomplished only through strong

feelings of self-respect. One avenue of creating self-

respect is to dress well. We strongly recommend the

following standards:

1 Cleanliness should be observed with regard to

clothing, hair, and personal hygiene.

2 Bare feet in public places are prohibited by state

health laws as a precaution for public health and

safety.

3 Shirts and blouses must be worn long enough to

be tucked in. Muscle shirts, crop tops, bare

midriffs, spaghetti straps, mesh shirts, and

undershirts are prohibited.

4 Students are required to remove hats inside

classrooms, the media center, the administration

building, the cafeteria, and the gym during school

hours. Students are required to remove hats in the

auditorium at all times.

5 For further guidelines, please refer to the current

District and Moon Valley Policies covering

general student appearance.

and will be strictly penalized. The school maintains the right to determine what constitutes "reckless or unsafe"

Students may not be in the student parking lot during or between classes.

We have great news for families that attend Moon Valley athletic events! Parent Athletic Passes

will now be available to parents of Moon Valley High School students for $60*. This is a

great way to support our Rockets and at the same time make it affordable for you and your family

to attend more events. As an example, for the price of one home football game and two home

basketball games, a family of five can enjoy all five season home football games as well as all

other sports home games during all regularly scheduled athletic events.

Passes can only be purchased in the bookstore (and during registration). Unfortunately we

will not be able to sell them at the events and we cannot give credit for games that you have

already attended.

This pass can be used only at Moon Valley regular season home athletic events.

(tournaments, regional and state play-off games are not included)

The pass will only be issued to the immediate families of Moon Valley students which

includes both parents and siblings under high school age. Moon Valley students will still be

required to obtain a student activity card or purchase a ticket for their admittance.

The pass must be presented at the designated gate (no waiting for tickets!). Identification

will be required. All family members must enter together. All children listed on the pass

must be accompanied inside the gate by the named parent.

Sorry, this pass is non-refundable and non-transferable. Lost or stolen passes can only be

replaced at full price.

Moon Valley High School

Counseling & Career Services

Research shows that students who have a

career plan achieve a higher level of life

success. Moon Valley students receive one-on-one guidance from

professional counselors, psychologist, social worker, and career specialist to

help meet their needs throughout high school.

The U.S. Department of Education Office of Vocational and Adult Education

(OVAE) identified 16 career “clusters” that represent career opportunities for

the 21st century economy. These clusters frame student opportunities as they

pursue postsecondary education.

Glendale Union High School District (GUHSD) has identified six career

fields that encompass 15 of the 16 national career clusters and 37 career

pathways against which to align school curriculum. These pathways provide

students a framework for developing individualized Education & Career

Action Plans (ECAPs).

GUHSD Career Fields:

Arts & Communications Business, Marketing & Management Hospitality & Restaurant Management Engineering & Industrial Systems Health Services Social & Human Services

Counselors help guide students through the associated pathways as they plan

for their future. Counseling services include career planning for all grades,

beginning with a four-year plan for freshmen. A full-time, on-campus Career

Center is also available to all students.

Freshmen begin planning their four-year high school career by completing

the Interest Profiler and Career Finder on AZCIS.intocareers.org, a planning

tool that includes a personal portfolio that will follow students through high

school and beyond. Students then begin to build an ECAP for high school

with the Student Planner and start to create a resume.

Sophomore students complete the Cluster Finder to help identify their career

path and begin to investigate schools, adding at least one school to their

portfolio. Sophomores may also take the Preliminary SAT (PSAT) entrance

exam, as it may significantly improve scores when they take it as juniors.

Juniors select a program using the AZCIS [career] cluster browse. At this

point they will also utilize the Scholarship Finder and continue to work on

their resume. Some juniors will actually select their post-secondary institution,

which is called “early decision.” Students should investigate how this may

bind or eliminate other options depending upon the school they select.

Senior year focus is to select a post-secondary institution with the help of the

School Finder and continue to use the career clusters to research programs.

Students will also apply for scholarships.

An annual Career Fair focuses on more than 40 careers through individual

presentations to juniors and seniors. Students are surveyed for interests to

help in the topic selection each year.

Students also receive additional support in their career education through

one-on-one guidance in our full-time Career Center, which is located in the

Media Center. Students may research schools, learn about careers,

scholarship and financial aid resources, apply to college or research

employment opportunities.

Individual scholarship and financial aid services are offered to students in

our Career Center. Parents and students may call the Career Center

directly for information or ask questions at 623-915-8055.

Students will find many scholarships in the local $how Me The Money

publication, which is also available on Moon Valley’s webpage, found at

moonvalley.guhsdaz.org.

Career:

Students access their portfolio using ID GUHSD (their student ID number)

and their birth date as the password. (In this format: MM-DD-YYYY) or

sign in as a guest by selecting the SITE ID tab, then using ID# 0006795 and

password moon.

Notes from the School Nurse

Dear Parents:

In an effort to better serve your student, we ask your cooperation in updating his/her health information for next school year. Please

complete the Health History Update form as well as recommended immunizations per your physician or community health care resource

and return record copies to the school for the nurse.

If your student has already received an immunization update, please bring or fax a copy of the record to the nurse immediately. If you have

questions or would like a personal conference with the School Nurse, call or leave a message with the school office. I will return your call

as soon as I am able.

IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION

All students who need to update their immunizations must bring proof of immunity to the school nurse (or records office in her

absence).

BELOW ARE THE SHOTS THAT ARE REQUIRED

Look at your child’s immunization record to be sure you have a date for each shot required. Your record will list shots by the type

of vaccine. Bring a copy of the record to the school. Free shots are available at Maricopa County West Clinic, 6666 W. Peoria

Ave, #113, Glendale (NW Corner of 67th Ave & Peoria, next to Hancock Fabrics) on MWThF (closed on Tuesdays), 8:30am – 5:30pm (closed 12:30-1:30pm).

SCHOOL SHOT REQUIREMENTS: Students 11 years of age and older:

Tetanus/ diphtheria / whooping cough

3 + doses

(New Requirement) Students 11 years and older in all grades are required to receive one dose of Tdap if 10 years have passed

since their last dose of DTaP/DTP/DT/Td, or if they are in the process of receiving their first 3 doses of tetanus/diphtheria

vaccine. Students who have received 1 dose of Tdap will need a Td booster after 10 years.

One dose of varicella vaccine meets the requirement for all children except those who receive varicella #1 at 13+ years of age. Children who receive the 1st dose of varicella vaccine at 13+ years of age need 2 doses, spaced at least 1 month apart.

school. If immunizations cannot be given for medical reasons, you must submit a medical exemption statement signed by a

physician or local health department representative. Exemptions will only be accepted on forms available in person upon request

from the school or nurse’s office.
