Principal's Welcome Message
Hello Mountain View New and Returning Families,
It is my sincere honor and privilege to welcome you to Mountain View Elementary School (MVS), home of the Eagles! We are so excited to start the 2023-2024 school year!
Our staff has been hard at work preparing to greet families for Back to School Night on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, with classroom presentations beginning at 6:00 pm. Yes, you read that right...Back to School Night is the evening BEFORE the first day of school. Please see the flyers below for additional information.
In preparation for the highly anticipated first day of school on Wednesday, August 9, 2023, here are a few reminders:
- School begins at 8:00 am; supervision begins daily at 7:45 am; please plan accordingly to be on time.
- The first day (and week) of school is ALWAYS incredibly busy with traffic; please be KIND to one another.
- For safety reasons, our campus is a closed campus once students are here. This means all students will say goodbye to their families at the gate and MVS staff will help students find their way to line up, and then to class. No parents, guardians, or families will be allowed to enter campus with their child through the gate.
- When walking your students to campus, please use designated sidewalks and crosswalks.
- When dropping your students off on campus, please pull ALL the WAY FORWARD along the curb; allow your student(s) to exit the vehicle on CURBSIDE ONLY, and follow the flow of traffic to exit the line/campus.
- The first day of school is a modified day, with dismissal promptly at 1:30 pm. Again, please follow the same safety guidelines from arrival (listed above) during dismissal.
We pride ourselves in engaging with our community and having a strong home/school partnership to promote a positive, successful learning experience for each and every student. I encourage you to be involved - volunteer with the school, in a classroom, or with PTO. For information on volunteering and the August PTO meeting, please see below.
Finally, please familiarize yourself with all that MVS has to offer by exploring our website and I ask that you review our handbook, along with your child, so that you are in the know!
Again, we look forward to seeing you at Back to School Night, welcoming our students to the first day of a new school year, and having a fantastic 2023-2024 full of Eagle Pride!
SOARing with Eagle Pride,
~Mrs. Marich

News
Closed Campus
For the security of our students and staff, we are a closed campus during school hours. Please plan to say goodbye to your student at the gate (or before). No parents, guardians, family members, or caregivers will be able to enter campus through the gate. All visitors and volunteers MUST check-in through the office. Raptor Technologies is used for visitors and volunteers are welcome on campus once they have completed the application, fingerprinting, TB test, and volunteer training.
PBIS
Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based framework designed to integrate and support students to improve outcomes. PBIS helps every student to reach their full potential and achieve success in the school environment. During the first couple weeks of school, we will be working at teaching and revisiting the expectations from our SOAR motto (see matrix below).
