The Counselors' Corner
Hi parents,
It is the time of year when we start thinking and planning for next year. The 6th graders just registered for junior high and the next year's Kindergarteners finished registration.
I have recently taught the 6th graders about Careers. We explored the website Nextsteps.idaho.gov
It has so many things to offer our older students. Please take some time to explore this site with your student. There is much information about careers, income, education, and finances for continuing education. Have Fun!
Just around the corner......dates to remember!

Library News from our amazing Librarian, Mrs. Bostrom
The Mountain View Book Fair was a huge success this year. Thank you for your support of books and reading for your children. A percentage of our sales will go right back into the library for books, games, and fun rewards for the students. A HUGE hug and thank you to our parent volunteers for coming in to help with our busy book fair.

Checking Your Child at Mtn. View
🐾Parents,
A huge shout out for having your phones with you when you check out your child. Using our QR code to check out your child has been a time saver for everyone. After March 25, we will no longer have our sign out sheet available, as an option. The QR code is quick, communicates directly with the teacher and provides a stamp date. It's a win, win!!
