Library Experience Feedback
We’d Love to Hear From You!
Mission Viejo is one of four Title I elementary schools participating in a three-year district pilot program that provides a certified Teacher Librarian in our school. This year marks the third and final year of the pilot, and we are gathering information to help tell the story of the impact our library program has had on students, families, and our school community.
Can you please take a few minutes to complete our short survey? Every response is valuable, and even a few sentences can help us tell our story!

Birthday Celebrations at School
We love celebrating your children! Birthdays will continue to be recognized in fun, age‑appropriate ways during the school day so every student feels special.
Updated Birthday Policy
To keep all students safe—especially those with allergies or health concerns—we are making the following changes:
What’s Changing
- No more traditional classroom birthday parties with food or snacks.
What You Can Still Do
- Gift Bags: Store‑bought, individually wrapped items may be sent and will be handed out at the end of the day to take home.
- Invitations: Birthday party invitations may also be passed out at the end of the day.
Why the Change?
This policy ensures every child can safely join in the celebration, regardless of dietary or health needs.
Thank you for helping us keep school celebrations safe, inclusive, and special for all students. If you have any questions, please reach out!
