Good afternoon Mountain View family,
We wanted to thank you for your patience and support during our storm on Wednesday afternoon.
As we approached the final few minutes of the school day the storm moved right over our campus.
As a school we use WeatherBug as an app to monitor lightning strikes and had multiple strikes within .1 miles of Mountain View.
One of our monitors showed two lightning strikes on our campus.
Therefore, we felt we needed to go into a Shelter in Place. Our students and our staff did an amazing job and followed the necessary and appropriate procedures.
Once the storm had moved far enough from campus to safely allow students to leave campus we ended our Shelter in Place.
Unfortunately, with the amount of rain that fell, we had massive flooding on and around campus. That limited or blocked most of the traffic flow around campus and our buses were very late in departing and returning our students to their homes.
This was an unprecedented event and one that we felt needed to happen to protect our students. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding and the support of this process.
We are still cleaning up around campus but our teachers are fabulous and learning continued throughout the day.
We would like to especially thank Vince Bianchi at Bianchi's North on Tangerine for graciously providing lunch for the staff displaced by the storm.
Have a great rest of your week.
Todd
