About MVCS - Communication

The education of children is the responsibility and authority of the parents. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Proverb 22:6; Ephesians 6:4)

• At Mingo Valley Christian School we believe that we have been delegated by the parents to stand in their place and educate their children; therefore, MVCS views communication with the parents as a vital school role.

• Teachers are committed to “keeping in touch” with parents by means of notes, phone calls, emails, and conferences, as needed.  

• Weekly, the children (K5 - 6th Grade) will bring home the week's tests and work so that no grade or report card is a surprise. 

• In addition to academic and behavioral information, much effort is put forth to keep parents informed about school happenings by means of daily and weekly notes, billing inserts and monthly calendars.

• RenWeb is the MVCS software program designed to put parents in touch with most areas of the school, including their own students’ academic work.  Via RenWeb parents can access school calendars, classroom assignments, grades, announcements and much more!

Conference Days

The first seven weeks of school is a time of adjustment and evaluation. Teachers will be aware of the type of progress your child should be making during the course of the year. Conference days will be held in October and February. The purpose of the conference is for parents to discuss with the teacher the positive and/or negative progress of the child. Conferences are held by appointment only, and all parents are encouraged to participate. A sign up sheet will be posted prior to the scheduled conference day.

Envelopes Sent Home (Elementary Only)

Each week we send home, with your child, a "Mingo Envelope." In it you will find any of the following:

• A letter from the administration informing you of events going on in the school and information of which you need to be aware. PLEASE take time to read such letters.

• A weekly class schedule from your child's particular teacher as to the specifics of your child's class.

• Tests and daily work from the previous week, report cards, etc.

• Monthly Calendars noting events, lunch specials, etc.

• MVCS is striving to use less paper and RenWeb will become our primary source of communication.

Report Cards

Elementary students will receive report cards four times a year. These should be returned to the school the following week after being signed by the parents.

Secondary students will receive grade reports by mail or email each 6 weeks and report cards at semester.

Progress Reports will be sent to all students in September. Thereafter, a progress report will be sent only to those students with grades of D or F or if a subject has dropped significantly.
