Back in the Swing!
What Went Well in Fifth Grade
The Bulletin Board Wars went great! Everything went according to plan and the way we wanted it too. It started out a little rough because it was so new, but in the end we succeeded and reached our goal. All of the classes participated which was really good, and turns out, our class won! Everyone followed the themes and rules and the students did a great job making everything look amazing. The lollipop sale went great and the money made was unbelievable! The judges were amazing and pulled everything together to make it work! A special thanks to Mrs. Kolenski and the PTA for helping us make this possible. As one of the creators, I would definitely want this to be a Mountain View tradition!

Message from the Principal
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break! Students were back in the swing of things here this week. There were a lot of Earth Day celebrations and students learned different ways to protect our Earth.
Our state testing will begin on May 9th in Third Grade. Fourth and Fifth Grade will begin testing the following week. Information was sent home to parents in Grades 3-5.
Please be sure to follow arrival and dismissal procedures: The doors open at 8:26 am. Please do not arrive to school earlier than 8:20. For our walkers entering through the Main Office doors, please wait on an "X" each morning. This will avoid the " mad rush" through the doors and keep students at a safe distance. Please do not drop children off on Clover Hill Drive. The car line is in the Linwood lot. Please do not cross Clover Hill Drive anywhere but at the crosswalk with our crossing guard. There are cones placed in front of the sidewalk alongside a "No Parking" sign in front of the building. You cannot park by these cones, or move the cones to park. As referenced by the "No Parking" signs across the street, you may not park there at arrival or dismissal. Please use the curb in front of school, our parking lots or Linwood Ave if you are going to park and walk your child to school. I greatly appreciate you following these rules and keeping the safety of our school community as our top priority! Please note, the gazebo lot is open for Handicap only. Students will still utilize this area for recess while the grass is muddy or snow covered. When parking at arrival, please park on the streets around the school. The parking lots are for faculty and staff members to park.
Enjoy the weekend!
