Good evening Mountain Lion family,
We are in our fourth week of school. This would traditionally be the beginning of progress reporting. As you have access on ParentVue and can see your child's grades in real time, please take a look at each class for both your child's progress in the class and grades. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have questions about grades and attendance.
We are excited to share that our Student Council will be holding a virtual spirit week next week. More information to come and please encourage your child to participate and be part of our Mountain Lion community. Also, take a moment and watch this video made by our Student Council. This gave us all chills and really had us all missing our students at Mountain View:

Virtual Open House: August 25-28: While we wish we could welcome each family to our campus in person, we are pleased to announce that we have set aside the next four days as our "Virtual Open House." Between August 25- 28, each teacher will be sharing a linked video that they have prepared to introduce you to their classroom, themselves, and to share important information about their remote classroom environment. Please look for these links to be emailed to you through ParentVue. You should receive these video links no later than August 28th. You have the opportunity to view the videos when convenient for your family. As always, we hope that you will reach out directly to our teachers and staff if you have any questions after viewing the class presentations. Thank you for your understanding.
Below, you will see the video from our counseling department and College and Career Center regarding Open House.

Attendance
Teachers take Remote Learning attendance every period, every day. Students are marked present when they participate in a Collaborative Zoom, complete assigned work or complete other teacher developed forms of attendance documentation. We recommend that students check their Google Classroom every day to be sure that they are on track for work completion and for demonstrating class attendance. Please take some time this week to check ParentVue to examine your child's attendance. If you have questions, please contact your child's teachers.
Protecting Zoom Classrooms
Given the open availability of our Google Classroom Codes, we have set rules for entry. We have asked teachers to limit classroom entry to only students who are on their class list. We do however recognize that some of our students for a variety of reasons go by nicknames or other selected names. If a student is more comfortable with the nickname or selected name, we want them to use that name. We recommend that students in this situation, email their teacher to let the teacher know the preferred screen name. By receiving this email, the teacher will be able to officially connect the nickname/selected name to the student on the roster.
Remote Learning & Support Services
As we continue our school year through Remote Learning, I want to remind parents and guardians that our school, along with all school districts in Pima County, are not able yet to reopen to in-person classroom learning. Our Superintendent continues to work closely with health officials, County Administrators, and other school superintendents to identify appropriate local benchmarks and indicators with the goal of returning us to school safely as soon as possible.
Our teachers and students will continue their Remote Learning work as we wait for the County to meet benchmarks for reopening, as directed in the Governor's Executive Order.
The Governor has also directed schools to provide free learning opportunities and on-site support services for students who need a place to go during the day. These support services are intended to serve our more vulnerable students, including those with special education services, English learners, and those in care of the Arizona Department of Child Safety, including Foster Care, beginning Monday, August 17. If you believe your student is in need of these targeted support services, please visit the District's support services webpage.
Please check your email or ParentVue account today to see your child's learning review for the week. This should help your family organize your week. And, again, with this being progress reporting time, look for more information on grades for your child on ParentVue.
