Announcements & Updates
- Update from Mrs. Toth:
As you may have noticed or been made aware, in light of recent concerns, most Mountain View students did not participate in "live" classrooms this week while administration worked to review our current plan and determine the most appropriate online platform and format for learning. Moving forward, Mountain View teachers will gradually reintroduce "live" lessons via Zoom (small group only) and/or Google Meet.
Per Dr. Morillo's communication in late March and again today, teachers will continue to have discretion in choosing from various instructional platforms, and live meetings may not be feasible in all instances.
Please also consider that while staff bears the responsibility of properly setting and facilitating live meetings, the behavior of students, including the statements they make and the content they choose to share, is entirely within their control. Students who do not meet these expectations will face disciplinary action per the Code of Conduct.
Your continued support is much appreciated during this unprecedented time.
- Marking period 3 grades will be posted to the Parent Portal this afternoon.
- Attention parents of Spring sports athletes: Today, your child was asked to join a Google Classroom page managed by their coach, which will contain suggested workouts, skill drills, videos, and other information to allow students to hone their craft while they are off of the field. Codes can be found on Mrs. Toth's Classroom page, April 17 announcements. Questions should be directed to the appropriate coach.
- 8th grade parents: Please closely review the email from Mrs. Lanka regarding working papers and visit the "Guidance Counselor" page, "Student Resources" tab on the Mountain View website for more information.
Deadline extended!
To order, (note that 8th graders automatically receive one) go to: ybpay.lifetouch.com, Yearbook ID code: 1757520.
