Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe that another school year has gone by so quickly! On Tuesday, we had the honor of celebrating our fifth grade students with a special recognition ceremony and walk. We wish our fifth grade students all the best as they begin a new phase of their education in middle school.
Students are bringing home report cards today. Included in report cards for students in grades 1-4 are brochures outlining their next year’s teacher assignment, supply list, and grade level AKS. Grade levels will be hosting optional summer “Get to Know You” events, so be on the lookout for an invitation from your child's teacher.
We are updating parent communication in several ways for the 2019-2020 school year.
• As a cluster, we will no longer use the Mountain View Cluster App. All schools in the Mountain View Cluster will be utilizing School Messenger. As a parent, you can customize how you receive information from the school (phone calls, emails, texts), so please view the School Messenger handout below for details.
• Our new electronic sign at the front entrance of the school is up and running as of today. Thank you to our PTA for this enhanced communication tool!
• We are launching a new website in late July. Our target date for release is July 19. Until then, please use our current website for information. Our current website will be up and running until we move to our new website in July.
• Our email blasts to parents on Fridays (and sometimes additional days) will continue, but we will use School Messenger as our tool instead of Constant Contact.
If you have a rising Kindergarten student, we hope you have signed your child up for Pup Camp. Pup Camp will be on July 15-17 from 9:00 – 12:00. Please see the flyer below for additional information. I will host a parent meeting for parents of rising kindergarten students on Monday, July 15 at 9:15 in the media center.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to seeing you and your family at Registration/Open House on Thursday, August 1, 2019 from 9:30-12:00.
Have a safe and happy summer!

PTA News
We have great news! Our electronic sign has been installed. You will be able to enjoy it as you drive by the school this summer and for years to come. We want to give a special thank you to Phoenix and Beckett Davis for listening to the PTA announcements and supporting our vision for the sign. We also want to thank our top fund raising classes: Gold: Ms. Johnson's fifth grade class, Silver: Mrs. Tice's fourth grade class, and Bronze: Ms. Sentelle's second grade class. Thank you to every family who helped make our electronic sign possible! We appreciate every single contribution. As a PTA, we are proud we can support communication with the community through our new sign!
