Dr. Mandel’s Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If you were on campus yesterday you would have seen a tremendous mix of colors as

students dressed to represent their classes. Each class was assigned a color and students

went all out - - some even had dyed hair! The participation in the first day is a strong

indication about the strength of the campus spirit, and I can’t wait to see how the Tigers

represent their school in the coming days.

You may have heard some information from your students about changes to the

Wednesday and Thursday Instructional Intervention periods, also known as Advisory. Due

to some change on campus, we have decided to put Advisory on a hiatus. During this

break, we will take steps to gather teacher, student, and parent feedback about how our

goals for Instructional Intervention and Academies should be re-incorporated. I view this

process as an evolution of Instructional Intervention and Advisory, and I look forward to

working with all stakeholder groups to provide meaningful support for all of our

students. In the meantime, we will run a bell schedule on Wednesdays that is the same as

Monday and Tuesday. There will be no added period to the end of the day. Students who

have six periods should plan to be on campus until the

end of the school day. On Thursdays, starting next week,

we will be offering a modified Instructional Intervention

period from 3:00 – 3:40PM. More information about this

will be forthcoming.

Following my message, there is some additional

information from the administrative team. Please take

some time to review it and to celebrate the achievements

of our student athletes.

performances and I will welcome families. Following the performance in the Cafeteria,

a bell schedule will guide you through your student’s day and you will have an

opportunity to visit classes and meet the teachers. The schedule for the bells is below,

and I look forward to seeing you at this event.

STUDENT PARKING PASSES

In order for students to park a vehicle at Marana High School, they must have a

parking pass. 2015-16 parking passes can be purchased in the Bookstore. Thank you

in advance for supporting the safety and security of our campus.

STATE TESTING

We know that planning family events that don’t interfere with school events can be a

daunting task. With that in mind, we have recently finalized our dates for Spring state

testing. Marana High School will be conducting our state testing March 28-31. Please

mark your calendars!

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 following is taken from our handbook, which is available online:

At Marana High School all students are expected to dress appropriately. Please see

Any garments such as shirts, tops, dresses, skirts, pants, overalls, shorts, etc. with

buttons, zippers, snaps, etc. must be worn buttoned, zipped and/or snapped

appropriately. All clothing must be free of excessive holes or tears.

Sheer/see-thru garments of any kind are prohibited unless worn over appropriate

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

activities for which their footwear is unsafe or inappropriate.



Head coverings and do-rags are prohibited. It is the staff’s discretion whether or not

hats, caps or beanies may be worn indoors.

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

student should not disrupt the classroom or campus environment nor threaten the

safety, health or comfort of the student, fellow students or any staff member.

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

school setting.
