Mountain View Weekly Update

On behalf of the Mountain View Middle School staff, we look forward to your attendance at Back to School Night, scheduled for Thursday, September 10, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Back to School Night affords you the opportunity to meet with your child’s teaching team to learn more about their respective curricula, policies, procedures, and day-to-day routines. Our School Nurse, Counselor, and members of our Child Study Team will be available in the Wellness Area, and our 8th grade Mentors will also be in attendance to speak to parents about Mountain View's Advisory program.

Please see the attachment below for more information.

- Reminder: All back-to-school forms, documents, and contact information updates must be completed via the Parent Portal by 4:00 p.m. today. Please see the August 21 communication from Mrs. Toth for specific details.

- New procedure: All student attendance updates must now be submitted directly through the Genesis Parent Portal. Parents/guardians will be required to use this system to report any present or upcoming absences, tardies, or early dismissals. Please refer to the August 28 Weekly Update for additional information and instructions.

- Pick-up and drop-off procedures were detailed in the August 28 Weekly Update. Please review them if you have not already done so.

- Attention 8th grade parents: Mendham High School will hosts its annual 8th grade Open House on Tuesday, November 10 from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Mark your calendar - more details to follow.

- Important reminder: If you need to drop an item off for your child during the school day, please ring the intercom and leave the item in the vestibule. To minimize disruptions, unless the item is urgent, the Main office will not interrupt instruction to inform your child that an item has been dropped off. He/she is responsible for checking the front table.

- All student Chromebooks have been enabled with a device restriction, which will restrict access between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Students can still access their district Google account through a personal laptop, desktop, or mobile app, but they will be unable to use their Chromebook during the restricted hours. The intent of the restriction is to encourage time management, ensure a safe and productive learning experience, and limit opportunities for students to use devices for purposes other than school.
