This week during Period 7 TSA, students in grades 8-11 will have an opportunity to visit with teachers and look at department displays in the Trahan Theater as part of MVU’s class registration process for next year.  Each day a different grade will be accompanied by their teachers to the theater where they can have the chance to meet with teachers and learn more about the courses that they can sign up for.

Wednesday, January 20th: 9th Grade

Thursday, January 21st: 10th Grade

Friday, January 22nd: 11th Grade

Students are to report to their TSA as usual for attendance and then will be called to the Trahan Theater on their given day.  They will be accompanied by their teacher but will not return to advisory that day.  TSA will be extended this week from 12:51 - 1:21 each day and period 8/9 classes will run from 1:25 - 2:37.  Please remember that only the invited grade should be visiting the department displays on any one day to avoid crowding.
