Parents Only Please
This evening is designed for parents/guardians to get to know the teachers, learn about Mountain View, and ask questions. Please keep your little ones at home, if possible. We ask that this be a parent/guardian only evening in order to really hear and understand your child's day, curriculum, and expectations. (All the nitty-gritty!) Thanks for understanding. There's a lot to cover in primary. :))
We can't wait to see you!

Playground
Mountain View Elementary Unveils New Playground, Fostering Inclusive Play and Community Spirit
Mountain View is thrilled to announce the official opening of its brand-new playground, a vibrant and inclusive space designed to inspire play and connection for all students. The project, a testament to the power of community collaboration, was made possible through the tireless efforts of the Mountain View/NE Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and the generous support of our local community.
The new playground features a variety of structures that promote accessibility and inclusivity. Highlights include sensory-rich equipment, accessible ramps, and a diverse range of play features designed to engage students of all abilities. The design prioritizes safe, creative, and joyful play, ensuring every child has the opportunity to participate.
"This playground is more than just a place to play; it's a symbol of our community's commitment to our students. We are incredibly grateful to our PTO for their dedication and to every family and community member who contributed to making this dream a reality." - Dr. Jean Taylor, Principal.
The PTO's dedicated fundraising efforts were instrumental in bringing the playground to fruition. They successfully raised the necessary funds to supplement the school's budget.
The entire Mountain View Elementary community is invited to celebrate this achievement and look forward to years of laughter, friendship, and fun on the new playground.
