Mustang Families,
We are off to a fantastic start to the school year! It has been such a joy seeing all of our students' smiling faces and feeling the energy and excitement they bring to school each day.
Over the next couple of weeks, our teachers will focus on establishing clear routines, expectations, and safety procedures to lay the foundation for a smooth and successful year ahead.
Please remember that we are always here to help and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your continued partnership and support!
Go Mustangs!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As your school secretary, I want to remind everyone how important it is to keep your contact information up to date throughout the school year.
If you have moved at any time during the school year, please provide the school with proof of your current residency so we can ensure our records remain accurate.
Parent phone numbers and emergency contacts can conveniently be updated in ParentConnect.
If you have forgotten your ParentConnect PIN number or password, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I am happy to assist you with getting your information updated so you can access your account.
Keeping your information current helps us communicate with you effectively and ensures we can reach the appropriate contacts when needed.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school records accurate and up to date!
Sincerely,
School Secretary
Miss Jessica
PE shoes help keep our students safe as they run, jump, and change directions quickly. Please make sure your child has a pair of sturdy, athletic shoes to wear for both PE and recess. We do have a limited number of shoes available for students to borrow during PE class; however, these shoes must remain in the gym and cannot be taken home or worn during recess. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and ready to move!
As we kick off the school year, we kindly ask for your partnership in talking with your children about our core PBIS expectations: being kind to others, showing respect to both adults and peers, and keeping hands, feet, and objects to themselves.
The first few weeks of school bring a lot of big transitions—navigating new friendships, learning to work through frustration, and adjusting to sitting and focusing for longer periods. It can certainly feel overwhelming for young learners, and we fully understand that this adjustment period requires patience, guidance, and grace.
At the same time, maintaining a safe and welcoming environment is our top priority. While we support students through these daily learning moments, behaviors like physical aggression or hands-on actions cannot be tolerated.
We truly appreciate your support and collaboration at home as we help our students grow into kind, respectful, and safe members of our school community!
Hi, my name is Christina, and I am your school nurse! This is my 5th year at Mountain View and I'm excited to continue working with you and your students this year.
A few health reminders to start the school year:
Care Plans: Please send an updated care plan for any chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, seizures, diabetes, or others so our staff can respond quickly if needed.
Medications: All medications, prescription and over the counter, must be brought in by an adult with the appropriate paperwork. Please don't send medication to school with your child.
Questions? Feel free to reach out any time with health concerns or if you need help with the appropriate paperwork.
Phone: 907-742-3901
When to Keep Your Student Home:
Fever: Students must stay home if they have a temperature of 100.0°F (37.8°C) or higher. They may return only after being fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication (such as Tylenol or Motrin).
Vomiting or Diarrhea: Keep your child home until they have been symptom-free for 24 hours from the last episode and are able to hold down regular food and liquids.
General Illness: If your child feels too unwell to actively participate in class, has a persistent severe cough, or exhibits a new, unexplained rash, please let them rest at home.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy!
Help Us Keep Students Prepared & Comfortable!
To ensure your child has a great day at school, please help us prepare them for outdoor weather:
Outdoor Gear: We go outside rain or shine, so please send students with appropriate gear (jackets, rain boots, winter hats, gloves, and scarves).
Backup Clothing: Accidents and rain happen! Because our supply of extra clothing is limited, we highly encourage keeping a spare set of clothes in your child's cubby or backpack.
If your student qualifies for transportation.
StopFinder is a parent app that provides real-time notifications about your child’s school bus, including bus stop locations, pick-up/drop-off times, and customizable GeoAlerts.
Families can apply online using SchoolCafé or check if their child's school participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which offers free meals to all enrolled students without an application.
