PowerSchool Registration is Open!
Hello MGSD families! Can you believe the first day of school is just around the corner? We are so excited to see all of our students again! We have opened our online registration system for the 2024-2025 school year. In the next couple of days, you will be receiving either an email from Registration@mgsd.k12.nc.us with a link OR a letter in the mail that has your student's “SnapCode” and directions for accessing the online registration system. It is vital that we get updated information on your student. Updated student information ensures that all students have continued access to all of the school resources for their classes and ensures that we have the correct emergency contact information for your student should it be needed. Keep in mind that all MGSD students need to complete their PowerSchool Registration prior to the first day of school on August 7, 2024. If you have any issues with the registration system, please contact our Accountability office at 704-658-2602.

CELEBRATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS ABCD Award Each month the Board has the honor of recognizing a district employee who goes above and beyond the call of duty demonstrating a core value of the district. For June, that individual was Ms. Kelliann Miller, one of our phenomenal behavior support assistants in our Student Services Department. Ms. Miller was nominated by Elizabeth Aston, Jennifer Estrada, and Lindsay Ferro for her dedication to building authentic relationships. In her nomination letter, they wrote: "Kelliann goes above and beyond the call of duty every day! She works hard to ensure that the students she works with through PRC interventions feel cared for, valued, and supported. She advocates for what is best for the students she works with and empowers them to be the best that they can be. She is the ultimate team player for the Behavior team, constantly solving problems before they even arise. She’s a forward thinker who empowers her colleagues by challenging them to think outside the box. Kelliann creates and maintains a positive environment in the workplace. She is always there with words of encouragement, a helping hand, and an infectious energy." Thank you for going above and beyond for every child, every day! Spotlight on People This month the spotlight is shining on two of our exceptional athletic teams – the Mooresville High School softball team and the Mooresville High School ladies' soccer team. Lady Devils' Softball Team 2024 Conference Champions The Mooresville High School softball team had a season to remember, finishing with an outstanding record of 24 wins and only two losses, as well as a fielding percentage of .970 and a batting average of .380. From the first pitch to the final inning, each player brought their unique strengths to the field, seamlessly complementing one another to form a formidable force on the diamond. The Lady Blue Devils' journey was marked by thrilling victories and hard-fought battles, showcasing their resilience and determination. Whether it was a nail biting comeback or a dominant display of skill, this team consistently rose to the occasion, leaving spectators in awe of their talent and tenacity. Their remarkable season was cut short but also served as a testament to the power of dedication and camaraderie in achieving extraordinary feats on the softball field.

With an 18-4-2 record, it was a total program effort. This Lady Devil's team scored 63 goals while only allowing 15 for the entire season. While no team wishes to finish as runner-up, this team still made history by winning the first 4A conference championship, making it to the final four, and finishing as Western Regional 4A runner-up. The Lady Devils would like to give a special thank you to Blue Devil Nation for all the support and love shown through this historical run to the final four!

Mooresville High School Graduation Ceremony
Happy Monday MGSD Families! SATURDAY, May 25, 2024, we will be CELEBRATING the CLASS of 2024 at their graduation ceremony! In anticipation of the high traffic volume on graduation morning, we have worked closely with the Mooresville Police Department to implement a safety plan in regards to both auto and pedestrian traffic. Please read through the information below carefully to be fully prepared on Saturday morning. By working together, this can be the best Mooresville High School graduation ceremony yet! Magnolia Street between East Center Avenue and Cabarrus Avenue will be CLOSED to traffic from 6:00am until 11:00am . Parking Information Because of recent safety concerns due to traffic, the parking lot behind Magnolia Campus will be reserved for our attendees with disabilities only. You must have a valid disability placard/plate to park in this area. No exceptions will be made . Visitors without a disability placard/plate who wish to drop off a passenger with mobility issues will be allowed to drop them off behind the Magnolia Campus in front of the stadium, but the driver must then leave the area and park elsewhere. The only way into the parking area designated for people with disabilities will be to enter the drive off of Edgemoor Drive located across from Fieldstone Road. Due to the road closure on Magnolia, people coming from the north will need to take Cabarrus Avenue to the driveway at Edgemoor and Fieldstone. People dropping off an individual will exit via the bus lot behind the MHS Fieldhouse onto Center Avenue. There will be officers directing traffic. All other attendees can park in the following areas: Accessible from Blue Devil Blvd via either East Center Ave or Cabarrus Ave: Upper A lot, Lower A lot, and Performing Arts Center lot. Accessible from East Center Ave: B lot, Main Campus front lot, and East Center Street on-street parking. Accessible from Magnolia St and Cabarrus Ave: Baseball field lot, Drill lot, VIP lot, and disabled accessible parking lot. As a reminder, our ceremony will be live-streamed on our MGSD YouTube channel at this link: MGSD Live Stream . We also want to give a shout-out of appreciation to our Mooresville Police Department. Their assistance to ensure our seniors and their families have a safe and beautiful graduation ceremony has been phenomenal. It truly takes a village to see our students off as they embark on the next chapter of their life. We look forward to celebrating with you on Saturday, May 25!

MGSD Board of Education Meeting Highlights for May 1...
Board of Education Meeting Highlights May 14, 2024 The MGSD Board of Education met for its regular monthly meeting on May 14, 2024, at the Mooresville Performing Arts Center. Below you will find the news and notes from the meeting. If you would like to go back and view this meeting or previous meetings, you can do that at this link: MGSD Board Meetings via YouTube . For meeting schedules and additional Board information, please visit the Board of Education webpage at MGSD Board of Education . Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the information contained in this newsletter. Thank you for your continual support of MGSD! CELEBRATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS Students of the Month Park View Elementary School nominated Armoni Knox Scott and Noah Kennerly as their Students of the Month. They led the May meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance! The PVES administrative team, along with Mrs. Armendariz, nominated these phenomenal students: Armoni and Noah are Super Patriots! They model our four school-wide expectations every day. They are always safe, kind, responsible, and respectful. Noah and Armoni have a special friendship that started on day one of Kindergarten. Noah uses crutches to get around, and although he is VERY independent, he sometimes needs help carrying things or moving things from one place to another. Armoni recognized this struggle and immediately took on the role of helping Noah around the classroom. When we get our iPads out, Armoni gets his and Noah’s from the cart. Armoni gets his and Noah’s books from the cubbies when we carry our books to the library. Noah is always appreciative of the help he gets from his good buddy. During the Pledge of Allegiance, Armoni always places one of his hands over Noah’s heart so Noah can hold on to his crutches for stability. Their friendship has been a model of kindness and compassion for the whole class! Thank you to these two Patriots for embracing our MGSD core value of authentic relationships! We are proud of you both! Artist of the Month The Board of Education had the honor of recognizing Park View Patriot Eliza Grieshaber as the MGSD Artist of the Month! Eliza was nominated by her art teacher, Ms. Jones. In her nomination, Ms. Jones said: Throughout the school year Eiza has been creating quality art projects and leading by example. She always comes in with a positive attitude and work ethic and has made some beautiful artwork this year. During the months of September 15 through October 15, first grade students celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Month. To celebrate, each student learned about Huipils and created their very own representation of a Huipil. A Huipil (sounds like We-pill) is the most common traditional garment worn by indigenous women from Mexico and other parts of Central America. The garment is a loose-fitting tunic made from two or three rectangular pieces of fabric. Lace, embroidery and ribbons are often sewn into the garment for added decorations. Eliza used a variety of different colored pieces of construction paper to create her Huipil. She used her learned knowledge of different shapes, lines, and colors as she cut and glued them on to her Huipil to create rhythm, repetition, balance, and unity. She added lines to create texture for thread and button designs. Lastly, she placed matching colored yarn in a pattern to create fringes to her Huipil. Eliza created a beautiful representation of a Huipil and I am very proud of her artistic accomplishments this year. MGSD loves your creativity, Eliza! Thank you for shining! ABCD Award Each month the Board has the honor of recognizing a district employee who goes above and beyond the call of duty demonstrating a core value of the district. This May, the Board recognized Ms. Melissa Lane, Park View Elementary School teaching assistant, for always cultivating authentic relationships. Ms. Lane was nominated by PVES Principal Dr. Misha Rogers and Assistant Principal Ms. Jen Marshall : Mrs. Melissa Lane is an outstanding Instructional Assistant at Park View who demonstrates leadership and passion for education at our school. Mrs. Lane has taken the lead in creating our Instructional Assistant Duty Schedule to ensure a fair rotation and coverage for our morning duties. This year, she also has taken on our STEM rotation and club for the last 3 quarters. Our students LOVE their time in STEM. She plans exciting activities that challenge them to explore, create, and work together after they learn about a topic. We also cannot forget that Mrs. Lane is an amazing Instructional Assistant who checks in on classroom teachers to offer support during available blocks of time to ensure that students are always her priority. She does an excellent job of building relationships with all students and takes a genuine interest in them. If something of need arises, Mrs. Lane does not hesitate to assist in providing support or teaming up with the school counselor, teacher, or administrators to ensure they have what they need. Lastly, Mrs. Lane is in school to become a Media Specialist. She has spent time working with our media specialist as well, assisting with special projects. Mrs. Lane is truly a Park View Patriot and we are beyond honored to nominate her for this award! Thank you for going above and beyond for every child, every day! Spotlight on People This month the spotlight is on a very special group of people... Our MGSD retirees! We bid farewell to some of our most cherished colleagues who have dedicated years of hard work and commitment to our school district.
