Make sure to order your copy of the Hilltop Memory Book!

The Kindergarteners are continuing to work on reading and writing short vowel words. As well as practicing their high frequency words. We are becoming reading rockstars!

April and May have been filled with fun learning in Math. Students have been working on patterns in the classroom, finding them in the world and finally discovering patterns in numbers. We have been building patterns with shapes, bears of different sizes and colors and finding them when writing our Teen Numbers. The children have explored with many hands on activities to help them understand this concept.

We Visited Our Public Library

Students in grades K-4 visited the Mendham Borough Public Library. They met with the Youth Services Librarian, Miss Tina, and heard about genres, summer programs, summer prizes, as well as the importance of public libraries. All flyers, sign up forms and library cards (K students only) were sent home this week.

It is that time of year again to celebrate the class of 2025 as they move on to high school! As many of you may know, Mountain View has a tradition of sending balloons to our graduating 8th graders each June. Included in this message is a flyer with more details as well as the current 8th grade class list. Those interested in placing an order can do so here.
