AM/PM Car Rider
All parents must use the car rider line in the morning and afternoon, unless you are truly walking from home to school. This is a safety concern, as students and parents are consistently walking across the bus lanes while they are in use.
PTA Read-a-Thon
Mountain Park's Read-a-Thon fundraiser kicked off on Friday with a pep rally to get the students excited about reading. Students are encouraged to ask family members and family friends to make pledges for their reading totals for the next two weeks. The following address can be used to make donations - www.mountainparkpta.org/2018-read-a-thon. Information came home in your student's Friday Folders. To make this fundraising event a success, we need all students to participate. Encourage your students to read each night and sign off on the reading log.
