Principal's Message
Greetings Mountain View Community,
Thank you to all the parents who have reached out to us with their concerns, ideas, and suggestions as we rapidly adapt to this new way of doing school. Your connection to us is vital to meet the needs of all students.
Many things will change, but unfortunately our schedule is probably not one of them. We know it is not ideal in several regards, but given the parameters we had to work with, we do believe we created the best schedule we could.
Please see the dates and times for student chromebook exchange and picking up supplies for specific classes (we have them all sorted for each student). We will continue to be able to get supplies out to families through the Book Bus (more information on that to come). It's important that students have the right materials to participate in their courses.We look forward to seeing you all there!
We will be having a variety of specialized pandemic "Back to School Nights" to provide an opportunity to learn about your student's courses and teachers. More information will be coming soon.
Thank you for your trust, grace and patience.
Honored to Serve This Community,
Wendy Rider
