A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday   Good evening Mountain Lion family, I hope everyone had a great Rodeo break and is excited to return for the last three weeks of the third quarter. With the quarter ending on March 13th and state assessments beginning in early April things will be moving fast from now through the end of the school year. Our graduation ceremony will take place on May 19th at 8 p.m. on Wayne Jones Field at Mountain View. There will be more details to come but mark your calendar for this special night. Another special event tied to our graduation is Grad Night. We are asking, on behalf of our amazing Grad Night committee, for donations to help support this great night. At this time, the committee is looking for gift cards from local merchants that can be given away at Grad Night. They are also open to help with the building process or other financial support. We appreciate your help in supporting this group. We have been engaging in focus groups with some of our students over the last few weeks. The conversations have been very meaningful and we greatly appreciate the feedback from our students. The topics range from our PBIS messaging to school safety and many other items in between. We find it valuable to listen to our students and to try to meet them where they are in regards to important school issues. Have a wonderful week and thank you.

Parents and Students,  Office Hours for Mountain View are 7:00 AM to 3:45 PM Students and Parents - The D-wing gate will be the only gate open in the morning, please pull forward to drop off your student. Students without a Zero Hour will be allowed on campus at 8:00 AM. Students arriving late after last bell will need to go to the front office to enter campus. With our increased security measures, students being picked up early need to enter the office near the library rather than the back office doors.  Please do not park in the first 10 stops in front of the JTED building. Those are reserved for the preschool. Also, please do not make any U-turns in that area. Parents: Just a friendly reminder that any ill student that needs to go home must report to the health office before calling a parent. They can call their parent from the office. We will not send passes up if parent arrives before the student reports to the health office. Student may ask their teacher for a health office pass. Parents, if your child is ill and you call them out as such, please keep them home. This will keep the germs from spreading.  A Note from the Attendance Office When a student's absence or late arrival may be excused, the parent/guardian should communicate with the Attendance Office so that the absence or late arrival will be appropriately recorded. "STUDENT ABSENCES" In order to request that an absence be excused, the parent/guardian must call and leave a message on the Attendance Line within 24 hours of the absence. The Attendance Line voicemail is available 24/7 at 520-579-4444.  "STUDENT LATE ARRIVALS" Unless excused, a student's late arrival(s) are recorded as "Unexcused Tardy/Late". If a parent/guardian would like to request that the late arrival(s) be excused, the parent/guardian must either come into the school with the student and provide the late excuse to the Front Office staff, or call the Attendance Line voicemail at 520-579-4444 and leave a "request to excuse" message for the late arrival. Please note: the Attendance Office does not contact parents/guardians regarding late arrivals. College, Career, Counseling    MVHS Parent(s)/Guardian(s), MVHS 9th-11th graders should have returned home to you last week with their hard copy course request selection form.
