Dr. Mandel’s Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I wish that all parents/guardians and the broader community of MHS could see the spirit

that our students, faculty, and staff showed this past week. If I had to attribute a

percentage, I would say that on Friday 95% of the entire campus was wearing blue and

gold (including a lot of paint, spandex, and accessories). There is a tremendously positive

feeling when so many people celebrate the school together, and the comradery and unity

was palpable.

We are heading toward the progress grade point for first quarter, so please take time to

talk with your student(s) about how things are going in classes. The habits and routines

that our students establish early on in the semester are important indicators of their

future behaviors so please reinforce positive actions and let us know if you need

assistance to address areas of potential struggle.

This point in the school year is also where we tend to see attendance play a major role in

academic success. Absences can add up quickly, and we know that students who are in

the classroom receiving instruction and participating daily do better and feel better in

school. We absolutely understand that students will miss some school days because of

illness or appointments, but please try to schedule appointments before or after school if

you are able. We also ask that you excuse medical appointments by providing a note

from a medical provider. I want to let you know that we will be taking a proactive

approach towards helping students maintain good attendance by recognizing students

with good or improving attendance, and by meeting with students who show signs that

they are struggling with daily attendance.



I also need to extend a “thank you” to our parents/guardians for helping us to address

dress code this year. I have noticed that since I started talking about dress code with the

students and in my communication with you, there has been a noticeable

improvement. Please continue to help us by helping your student make appropriate

clothing choices for school based on the Marana School District and MHS Dress Code.

We will be starting our Instructional Intervention period this week on Thursday from

3:00 – 3:40. Students will be assigned to their 6th period teacher and they will be allowed

to travel using a pass system to other classrooms for intervention (i.e. make up work,

assessments, instruction, enrichment). We believe that dedicating this time for students

and teachers is important, so please support this effort by talking with your student

about what schoolwork can be accomplished.

Dr. David Mandel, Principal

Marana High School

CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY - Attached is a flyer for the Marana PD Citizens

Academy beginning Sept. 2nd through Nov. 18th. The flyer says 18 or older,

however, the Officer running the program informed me they will allow students

who are 16 or older with a driver's license. MPD would like some MHS Students to

be able to attend. They’re hoping to get anywhere from 10-15

students. Completion of this looks great on any high school resume and it looks

especially good if anyone is looking at a career in law enforcement. If you have

any questions, please contact Officer Hunter at 616-6400. A 4-page application is

attached with this Tiger Beat email message for your convenience.

The Marana High football team has persevered in the hot summer training and

preseason Monsoon humidity to expose Culture, Commitment and Competitiveness.

Our Tigers revealed their strength and determination with a win against Rio Rico this

CTE SPOTLIGHT

MHS Welding Program

MHS WELDING PROGRAM

Marana High School has the largest

welding program and opportunities for

employment after high school in southern

Arizona. This summer MHS hosted the

first ever AWS (American Welding

Society) Certification Boot Camp. The

camp provided students with a great

opportunity to take their welding

certification test to become certified

welders. For two weeks, 13 students

from MHS attended the boot camp and all

students completed one or more welding

certifications. The certifications included

the AWS D1.1 plate certification in the

SMAW (Stick) process and the FCAW

(MIG) process. Congratulations to MHS

Welding students! Explore the

opportunities in the welding program at

Marana!

At MHS we are very proud to offer a diverse array of CTE/JTED programs. The

integration of these programs throughout our curriculum is just one of the many

opportunities for students that our comprehensive high school provides. Throughout

the year we will be sharing glimpses into the programs with you. Please take a

moment to read about Welding.



PBIS Information

ROCKIN ’ the PBIS

clothing. Tight or revealing clothing, spaghetti straps, strapless, and halter tops are

prohibited.

Undergarments may not be visibly exposed at any time including bandeaus.

Pants, shorts, dresses or skirts must be worn appropriately and may not present a

safety issue or distraction to self and/or others. They must adequately cover the body

at all times. Pants or shorts must not be “sagging.” The acceptable length of dresses,

skirts, and shorts will be determined by the complete coverage of the buttock area.

Belts must be tucked into pant loops, not hanging, and should not be excessively long.

Chains worn on articles of clothing are prohibited.

Footwear must be appropriate and worn at all times. Students may be restricted from

Any article of clothing which refers to alcohol, drugs, or contains inappropriate

content. Slogans or wording which may be suggestive or construed to have a “double

meaning” (one of which meaning is inappropriate) may not be

worn. Anything worn portraying offensive, suggestive, derogatory, violent, sexual,

cult or gang-related writing or pictures is prohibited. This includes all “do-rags” and

all bandanas associated with gang activity.

The type of dress, make-up, accessories, hairstyles or grooming displayed by the

The administration reserves the right to interpret and enforce these guidelines in the

school setting.
