Virtual Learning
During 100% virtual learning students can attend the am or pm sessions of their teacher's class. We strongly encourage our parents to place their children in the am session. I know that this is difficult for many of you but please let me explain. During this virtual learning time schedules have changed wildly. In order for case managers to continue collaborating, accommodating, and assessing, time has to be carved out of each day. Where this is usually no problem during a full day it becomes a problem for 1/2 day sessions. In order to carve out that time one session gets less direct instructional time. We want to offer the most support we can for your child and at this time that is available in the afternoon which means it is best for your child to attend the am cohort and then receive their academic services in the pm. If you have a special circumstance or have addition questions about this please contact Mrs. McGuire.
Our teachers will be providing instruction through Google Classroom and Zoom. To provide support seamlessly we have linked our virtual classroom to your child's Google Classroom. Everything is now in one spot! You and child can access their classes and services through Google Classroom or below. I will be updating you on a weekly basis via email on how your child is doing in regards to receiving their services. So, please make sure to check your inbox. As some of you have already learned, I will also be calling if I did not see your child attend class. I hope this is helpful to you. If you or your child have questions or need help please call Mrs. McGuire @ (805)380-6649. Office hours are 7:45am to 3:00pm.

What is the learning center?
|
The Upper Learning Center (ULC) is an exciting place of learning and support. It is constantly filled with students from fourth through sixth grade in need of academic support.
Mrs. McGuire and Mrs. C run the upper learning center. Classroom support and pull-out services are provided for students in need. A variety of services are offered through the ULC including social skills, essential standards based academic support for math and ELA, behavior interventions, reading interventions, and study skills. The ULC uses a co-teaching model in combination with pull-out services for specific skills. |

Mrs. McGuire
Specialized Academic Instructor
Hello, my name is Geneva McGuire.
This is my eighth year teaching in the field of special education. This is my fourth year teaching for SVUSD. Previously I taught at an ACSI accredited international school in South America and for the Saugus Union School District. Through the years I have worked mild-severe classrooms, RSP, and Learning Centers. I love my job and my students. I believe in a team approach. It takes a community to educate our children and I am here to help build and grow that community for the upper grade students of MViT.
Last winter/spring I was out on maternity leave. I am so excited to be back in the classroom-- virtual classroom that is! I know that this is a very trying time with many challenges. Please know that my hope is to be an advocate and a help for your child and family. We will get through this together. Looking forward to a different but amazing year! 2020-2021 here we come!!!
