Mountain View Weekly Update

A note from Mrs. Toth

As the long weekend approaches, students and families are reminded that student conduct—whether on school grounds, in the community, or at outside events—reflects on our school.

Mountain View remains committed to helping students understand the importance of being constructive, respectful members of the community. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss the importance of making responsible, safe choices and demonstrating respect for others over the break.

Thank you for supporting a safe and positive environment, and enjoy the long weekend.
