Good evening Mountain View family,
This was a very special day at Mountain View. For the first time since March, we were able to welcome our students back to campus. It felt great seeing our students walking around campus, talking to each other, learning in front of our teachers and getting back to normal. We want to commend the students for following the mitigation plan and working with our staff to ensure that our safety protocol measures were being followed. I especially want to recognize our incredible teachers as well. Today was a huge challenge for them and they did an incredible job. As one said earlier this morning, they felt like they were performing a juggling act – some kids in the classroom and many kids on a Zoom – but they performed admirably.
One thing students may find different when they return is that the District is allowing teachers to bring their own child(ren) to their classroom on days when their child(ren) are scheduled to be remote learners. This was an accommodation that was examined extensively. As we are committed to balancing the needs of families in the District, we are equally committed to the needs of MUSD teachers in their role as parents. Making this accommodation for our teachers will minimize their need to take personal time for their own childcare needs.
We will continue to work through the challenges presented to our teachers, staff, students and parents but I do know that we can do this successfully if we work together. Have a great week and keep Mountain View in your thoughts.
