Good evening Mountain View families,

We are back for our second week of hybrid instruction. As I shared last Monday, it was great having students on campus last week. With our school returning in the hybrid instructional model, we were better able to see our mitigation plan in practice and identify any issues or concerns with smaller groups. This transition to hybrid also allowed our teachers to work with smaller groups in-person and work through some of the challenges that come with teaching synchronously. We do appreciate your patience as our teachers were not trained in this teaching style but did an amazing job last week – our first week in seven months of in-person learning.

Each week we will encounter more challenges as well. The letter I shared Friday, along with the voicemail that you received, detailed one of the challenges we faced late in the week. We are working very hard to keep you informed and maintain clear and open communication.

Have a great week and enjoy the changing temperatures. We all earned the right to enjoy this as we made it through one of the hottest (and most dry) summers on record.

College, Career, Counseling   

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As we transition to In-Person Hybrid Learning, the Counseling/College and Career Center (CCC) wanted to share our Safe Return Policies and Procedures.  

In order to best support your student's learning and safety, we believe that limiting non-emergency in-person visits to the Counseling Office is required. Emergency/Crisis situations will be seen immediately in person.

Emergency Situations (Seen Immediately) 

  • Student in emergency/crisis situations or dealing with anything that is making class impossible to attend will be seen in-person immediately 
  • Remote students in emergency/crisis situations, should call 520-579-4450 during school hours
  • Life-threatening situations please call 911

We are here to support your student(s) and we will have many opportunities for zoom or phone call appointments during non-instructional time or after school hours (1:55-3:00). Students can make these appointments by using the appointment links shared in their "Class of" Google Classroom.

Non-Emergency Situations (virtual appointments) 

  • Questions about courses and credit
  • Graduation planning
  • College/career planning

College Career Center:

  • Students should email Ms. Wray with questions in regards to Financial Aid, Scholarships, FAFSA, or College and Career Planning
  • Students are encouraged to make Zoom or phone appointments
  • As the CCC is in a separate and isolated building, students may schedule an in-person appointment with Ms. Wray
    • Must have teacher permission, and are encouraged to have meetings during non-instructional time

We believe that this policy will provide mitigation for students and staff during this period and ultimately provide a safe environment for all. We will continue to monitor and adjust this policy as we continue in Hybrid Learning and beyond.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at (520)-579-4450.

The College and Career Center is open and ready to help you and your students plan for post high school.
