Welcome to our new food service staff member, Laura Bollock.
"Hi, I am Laura Bollock. I am joining the work force after five years of being
a stay at home mom to preemie twins. I have two daughters, Matayah age 13 (8th grade) and Ava age 11 (5th grade). The twins started kindergarten this year. I am looking forward to this school year and getting to know the Mt. Vernon students!"
The MVP Titans open up their football season in Salem tonight vs the McCook Central - Montrose Fighting Cougars. Kickoff will be at 7pm. The game can be found online at https://www.cougars.liveticket.tv/
There will be a tailgate with walking tacos before the game from 5:30-7:00.
Fans are being asked to park south of the complex near where the bus will be parked. There is very little parking on the north side, so this will be the easiest entrance and the closest to our bleachers.
Go Titans!!
This has been resolved. If you continue to have problems please contact Sue.
We are aware of a problem with Infinite Campus/Parent Portal. A ticket has been submitted and updates will be sent out as we know more.
