Good evening Mountain Lion family,
As we remain under our "stay at home" orders we are also transitioning our "learning at home" towards Performance Task mastery. Our teachers have been working very hard to identify these tasks and support your child during this difficult time. We will begin rolling out these Performance Tasks this week for our seniors and next week for our other students. Please keep working with your child to support their completion of the tasks and their current courses of study.
We have been working very closely with our Senior Staff and had extensive conversations about how we can support the Class of 2020. We are very excited to announce that we will be working with Jostens on the delivery of our seniors caps and gowns. Those will be delivered to Mountain View on Friday, April 24th, between 8 a.m. and noon. Jostens will be handling the distribution of the caps and gowns near the front office. Should you have questions about these please contact Jostens directly. We look forward to seeing our seniors collecting their regalia.
We also have been turning the lights on in our stadium each night at 8:20 p.m. (20:20) and leaving them on for 20 minutes to honor the graduating class.
When the lights go off at 8:40 p.m. our PowerCat lights up on the tower in the middle of campus. The PowerCat remains lit until 10 p.m.
And, we have placed an order for yard signs for our Class of 2020. Once the yard signs have been delivered to campus, the administrative team, teachers and staff will be canvassing our community and placing the signs in the yard of each of the members of the Class of 2020. We do not have a date yet but hope to have these in the coming weeks.

We know we can never replace the time that our students are losing in the classroom, with their peers and with their friends. This is not an easy time for anyone but we are hopeful that the hard work of our teachers and the commitment by our school has helped in easing some of the burden you and your family have faced during this time. Take care, stay safe and we look forward to seeing everyone again at Mountain View.
