MOUNTAIN VIEW ELEMENTARY
NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2026
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
November is a wonderful time to reflect on all we are thankful for. As the days grow shorter and the holiday season approaches, I’m reminded that, much like fireflies, each of us has a special light to share. At Mountain View, that light shines through everyday acts of kindness, friendship and helping others. I am so grateful for our amazing students, dedicated staff and supportive families who make our school such a special place!
Our Costume Parade was such a fun way to celebrate together! It was wonderful to see our students showing off their creative costumes, big smiles and excitement. Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make the morning so special! Having our families participate in these school traditions make our Mountain View community stronger.
This month, we look forward to honoring our heroes at our Veterans Day Ceremony on Tuesday, November 10th at 8:00 am. This special tradition helps students understand the importance of respect, service and gratitude while recognizing the brave men and women who have served our country. We are honored to welcome local veterans and their families as we celebrate their courage and sacrifice.
Get ready for an evening of fun, dancing and lots of sparkle! Join us for our PTA Glow Dance and Silent Auction on Friday, November 13th, at 5:00 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to bring our Wolf Pack together, enjoy some music and glow-in-the-dark fun and support our school through the silent auction. Don't miss your chance to see our Mountain View community light up the night! We hope to see you there!
As we approach Thanksgiving, I encourage everyone to take a moment to recognize someone who makes your world a little brighter. A kind word, a helping hand, or a simple thank-you can make a big difference. When we share our light with others, our entire Wolf Pack shines brighter! Thank you for being such an important part of our Mountain View family. Wishing all of our families a warm and joyful Thanksgiving filled with peace, gratitude, and togetherness!
1-2-3 Go Mountain View!

PAWS - PRIDE, ATTITUDE, WISE CHOICES, SAFETY
Did you know that NOVEMBER is WISE CHOICES month? Students learn about many character traits associated with WISE CHOICES during morning announcements and class discussions. How can you help your child learn to make WISE CHOICES, too?
STUDENT DROP OFF
When families drop off students in the parking lot it is important that all cars move forward as far as they can. This will keep the flow of traffic moving through the line. It is important that all vehicles stay in the line to ensure the safety for all. Please do not drive around the line to find an opening. Thank you in advance for you cooperation.
STUDENT ILLNESS
Students who are sick should stay home and get well. If a student has a fever or has vomited before school, they need to stay at home. Students may return to school 24 hours after their fever has ended without taking medication to reduce the fever or they have stopped vomiting. Keeping students who are sick at home helps stop the spread of the illness.
EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION
Please log in to your AERIES account and check your emergency contact list for your child(ren). If information has changed please make changes so the school has the most current information. If you need help accessing your account please call the office for support.
ATTENDANCE
Please be sure that your student arrives to school every day, on time! Studies clearly show the importance of regular school attendance. If your child must miss school because of an illness, please be sure to call and clear the absence within 5 days so that it doesn't become a truancy.
Attendance Phone Messages
If you call the office and leave a message for your child's absence please include the following information: Student's full name, student's teacher, and the reason why the student is absent. Please speak slowly when providing the information so we can clear the absence. If any of the information is left out or we can't understand what is being stated in the message we are not able to clear the absence. Thank you!
