Principal’s Welcome Message

Welcome to Mar Vista Middle School!  I know that this has been a much shorter summer break than many of us are used to, but I hope that it provided enough time to rest and prepare for the upcoming school year.  The first few weeks can always be slightly hectic, with purchasing of  PE clothes, uniforms, attending Orientations, changing schedules, etc.  Please be assured that we will do our utmost to ensure that your son/daughter has a smooth start to the new school year.

As Principal, I will continue to be committed to three driving goals:

1. School Safety – Every parent has the right to send their child to school with the confidence that they will be safe and well-cared for.  We expend every effort to make sure this is so.
2. Quality Education – your child will receive the very best education.  They will be challenged, yet well prepared for higher education.
3. Better Communication – There will be a concerted effort to make sure that you know what progress your student is making in his/her efforts.  This will be done via our website, phone calls, conferences, and newsletters.

If you would like to see your child’s education firsthand, particularly if you are the parent of a seventh grader, please call me, and I would be happy to show you our school personally.

We value your involvement as parents.  With your support, your student will succeed.

Sincerely,

Scott Tanner
