It was wonderful to see so many of you at Back to School Night. It was a great opportunity to see what your children will be learning this year and how we can work together. I look forward to getting to know each family better and supporting all students as we learn and grow together at Monte Vista.

This coming Monday, September 5th, is Labor Day. Here is a short video to share with your kids about the meaning of Labor Day. Take the day to enjoy your family and a break from hard work.

Drop off and Pick up

Please make sure that you quickly drop off and pick up in the yellow area. There is no parking allowed. This is for the safety of your child and everyone at Monte Vista.
