Principal's Monthly Message
Hello Eagle Families,
As we enter the final month of the second Trimester, I wanted to take the opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible school community. Your unwavering support and partnership have played a pivotal role in creating a positive and enriching learning environment for our students. Together, we have fostered a sense of collaboration and dedication that truly sets our school apart. The impact of this collective effort is evident in the growth and achievements of our students. Their enthusiasm for being at school to learn, coupled with the caring and nurturing atmosphere you all contribute to, reflects the strength of our community. Thank you for your continuous commitment to the success and well-being of our students. As we look ahead, let's continue to work hand in hand, ensuring that each child at MVS thrives and reaches their full potential.
SOARing with Eagle Pride,
~Mrs. Marich

97% Attendance Bicycle Challenge
Look at this! We are excited to announce...through generous donations from Poseidon Bike and others... we are able to offer an ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE for the months of February and March!
Here is how it works:
Every student who has a 97% or higher attendance rate for the months of February and March will be entered into a drawing for a bicycle. There are a total of 6 bicycles to be awarded!
- 2 bicycles to be awarded in grades TK/K
- 2 bicycles to awarded in grades 1-3
- 2 bicycles to be awarded in grades 4-6
There are 35 school days in the months of February and March, combined. Students must be at school on time and attend for the full day. To maintain a 07% attendance rate, students can only have one attendance occurrence in the 35 days. This means a student can have no more than ONE of the following in order to be eligible for the drawing:
- absence, excused or unexcused
- tardy, excused or unexcused
- early sign out, excused or unexcused
Looking forward to seeing everyone at school, on time, each and every day!!
We MISS YOU when you are not here and you MISS OUT when you are absent!

Improve Tardies
Supervision of students begins at 7:45 each morning (7:30 for breakfast in the MPR).
the warning bell rings at 7:58; the goal is for students to be on campus and through the gate at 7:58 so they are with their teacher at 8:00. We appreciate your partnership in having students at school on time.
Use Crosswalks
For everyone's safety, please use crosswalks when crossing the street and/or navigating through the parking lot. We appreciate your help by not calling to or directing your child to walk between cars using the drop off and pick up lane.
Keep Traffic Flowing
When dropping off and picking up students, please pull all the way forward in the lane closest to the curb. After loading or unloading, the pull through lane is available to proceed to the exit.
PTO

Mountain View School has a very active PTO. This group of volunteers provides so much support and dedication to our students and staff. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THEM! Check it out. Get involved. There are MANY ways to be a part, with a little bit of time or a lot of time.
