• Mountain has a tricky drop off and pick up for families. For safety, it is important to follow the guidelines below. We highly recommend taking advantage of the Early Bird Program in order to prevent bottle necks and a staggered smooth morning entry.

• Enter/Exit only through designated areas.

• The driveway is a bus lane only from 7:50 a.m. - 3:00 pm each day. If you wish to drop off a student, please pull to the yellow curb along the roadway. If you wish to walk a student to the building, please proceed to one of the parking lots and park your vehicle. Dropping off or parking in the designated Fire Lane or Handicap/Bus Lane is illegal at all times. Use the designated drop off area or park your vehicle. Parking along North Rd. is allowed. Please follow posted instructions.

• Do not drop off students behind parked vehicles in the parking lot.

• There are four Handicap Parking spaces available to persons with a placard. Please do not use the space unless you intend to leave your vehicle and a placard is issued to the person occupying the vehicle. LAPD will ticket vehicles illegally parked.

• Use crosswalks when crossing the street.

• Students must walk bikes and scooters on school property.

• Please help us keep everyone safe by following this policy; children learn by example. Thank you!

Our awesome PTA works so hard for our school. Makayla Lui, Larissa Baker, Katrina Martin, and Nicole Waybright our PTA officers delivered student school supply boxes to classrooms and provided coffee for our teachers. They are amazing. Please consider getting involved. Our school can't function without a PTA and we need you. It is a super group of folks. For more info https://www.mountainpta.org/

Free Breakfast/Lunch: Free breakfast and lunch will be provided again for all students. Ms. Beverly and Ms. Fatima are there so students can get breakfast in front of school and inside the front lobby in colder weather. Even though all students can participate in the breakfast and lunch program we encourage all families to complete the free and reduced meal program application. These applications are used for other important funding opportunities which support the district and our students. Also, students become eligible for reduced fees at school sites based on these applications. Please use the online option at www.schoolcafe.com.
