Student Schedules

Our administration and guidance staff has worked very hard on our master schedule and student schedules this summer. Due to the continuous efforts of our staff we have again been able to keep class sizes at an appropriate level and offer as many engaging electives in addition to our core courses. Student schedules will be mailed home the week of August 19th. Your schedule will reflect the courses you verified in the spring during the registration process. Again our staff has done the best they can to meet those requests and have made personal calls to families where there has been a need for major changes. Based on these efforts and the limits on movement, there will be no schedule changes. Thank you for respecting this necessary move and we are certainly here to answer any questions you may have upon receipt of your child’s schedule.

Tennis Practice Week of Aug. 5

Tennis Practice for the week of Aug. 5 will be from 6:00-7:30 p.m. daily.  Contact Coach Akelman with questions.

Laptop Training Nights

All parents are required to attend a brief training before your child may receive a laptop. We have created a brand new training to provide you with more up-to-date information regarding care for the laptops, coverage of damage, internet safety, digital citizenship, and the components of the Responsible Use Policy (RUP).

Parents need to come to the Mooresville High School Auditorium, participate in a brief training, and sign the RUP. We will also collect the $50 usage fee, payable via check, cash, or online. Online payments can be made ahead of time by visiting the MGSD website at http://www.mgsd.k12.nc.us.

The trainings will begin at the scheduled time, and those who arrive late will have to wait for the next available session.

When: August 19, 20, or 22

Where: MHS Auditorium

Time: 5:30pm OR 7:00pm each night

What to bring: Method of payment & a pen

Remember that all parents must attend one of the training sessions listed below or your child will NOT receive their laptop the first day of school. Your child does not have to be in attendance with you for this training; they will receive their training during the first week of school.

Freshman and New Student Orientation

Attention Freshmen Parents and Parents of New Students! We will have Freshmen/New Student Orientation on Wednesday August 21st beginning at 5:00pm in the Mooresville High School auditorium.

Open House

Open House will take place on Tuesday September 3rd from 5:30pm-7:00pm. At this point, our teachers will have had a week to get to know your child. Please mark your calendars and make plans to attend so that you can meet each of your child’s teachers. It is a floating event, so you may come anytime that is convenient for you within the allotted timeframe.
