Library News
Dear Mountain View parents/guardians,
The week of May 11-15th will be the last week that the students can check out new library books from the Mountain View library. After the last week of library check out, I will be trying to get all books back to the library. I will be sending notices, both electronically and on paper if your student has any books checked out after May 15th. If you have any questions, please email me at jkane@dcsdk12.org. Please remember that all books need to be returned before the last day of school.
Thank you!
Jessica Kane, Library Specialist
Ridwell Plastic Film Recycling Challenge April 30-May 4
Mountain View is keeping plastic film out of landfills with Ridwell this spring!
To participate in this limited-time recycling drive and celebrate Earth Month, bring plastic film (ziptop bags, grocery bags, bubble wrap, and lots more) to school on April 30 - May 4th and Ridwell will make sure it stays out of landfills. It’ll be turned into new TREX decking materials instead! Start collecting plastic film at home now so you have a bunch for the drive.
Curious about recycling more from home, like the school is doing? Visit our Ridwell Webpage to learn more about Ridwell—and share the page with family and friends nationwide! You can help the school earn plastic-film pickups for the entire ‘26/’27 school year if 10 new members join Ridwell Pickups or Mail-in through our school’s webpage by May 22.

PTO Spring Get Together Is This Week!🌸
Our PTO Spring Get Together is happening this week, and we’d love for you to join us on May 1st from 5:30–7:30 PM at 5030 Craftsman Dr, Parker, CO 80134. This fun and casual evening is a great chance to meet other parents, connect with PTO members, and learn more about ways to support our school community.
We kindly ask adults to register in advance so we can plan accordingly for the evening and have an accurate headcount for attendees. Guests who RSVP ahead of time will also receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win some great prizes, including an Apple speaker, restaurant gift cards, and a family mini photography session. Please leave your kiddos at home for this adult only event.
Bring a friend and join us for a fun night out—we hope to see you there!

Join the PTO for the 2026-2027 School Year!
We are looking for volunteers to help make next school year a success! Several of our current PTO members have students moving on to middle school or are changing roles, so we have a few open Board positions, including VP of Communications, Secretary, and At Large. We are also looking for Chair members to help lead events and General Volunteers to lend a hand throughout the year.
Volunteering with the PTO is a great way to support our students and staff, meet other families, and stay connected to our school community. Most importantly, many of the fun events and programs our families enjoy simply cannot happen without volunteer support. Whether you have a little time or a lot, there is a place for you.
