School will be dismissed at 1:00 pm, March 27th - March 31st as this is parent teacher conference week. Your child's teacher will reach out to you directly to indicate if a parent teacher conference is needed. All students will be dismissed at 1:00 p.m. Please plan accordingly. Thank you!

Thank you for coming out to support our Spaghetti Dinner and Bingo Night! We had several adult and student winners!

CUSD will be sending home COVID test kits for all students and staff before the end of this week. We wanted to provide the test kits, so that families have the opportunity to test their students prior to the return to school after Spring Break. Thank you!

In effort to keep Mountain View students safe, we would like to communicate our dismissal procedures with a list of Do’s and Don’ts.

Do’s

• PreK- 3rd – Please pick up students from an assigned location. Please park on the street or at Claremont Presbyterian Church

• Follow the directional arrows.

• Walk to and from campus using only sidewalks and crosswalk
• Dispose of trash in the trash can.

• Keep voices at a low level as classrooms are still learning until 2:40 p.m.
• If you are picking up on foot, please wait on the grass area to pick up all students.
• Please ask any older siblings picking up students to quietly wait on the grass area.

Don’ts

In our efforts to keep students safe, we are continuing to provide all students with free COVID tests. Stop by one of our front offices to pick up a test kit, as needed, between the hours of 8-3:00pm. Any students who tests positive should stay home and contact the office to inform them that your student is positive. The school health staff will provide you with additional information.

Who performs the tests? - The tests are completed at home by parents or caregiver.

What do I do if I test positive?- Isolate at Home Until:

1. At least 5 days after your symptoms started

AND 2. You have a negative rapid antigen COVID test collected on day 5 or later

AND 3. You have not had a fever for at least 24 hours

AND 4. And your symptoms improving.

You can return on Day 6 or later when all 4 requirements above are met. OR- Stay home through 10 days after symptoms started AND You have not had a fever for at least 24 hours AND Your symptoms are improving. A negative test is not required to return on Day 11

We are looking for parent volunteers to help with crosswalk duty during arrival (8:00-8:10) and dismissal (2:20-2:45).
