A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday Good evening Mountain Lion family, I wanted to start with a quick reminder that in lieu of progress reports, we now have Student Academic Checkpoints. The next one of these is Wednesday, February 17th. We have asked our teachers to updates grades and ask our parents to check on their students' academic progress at this time. At Mountain View, our goals continue to be: Student engagement Interventions Grading and Assessment To that end, our teachers continue to produce meaningful lessons that engage our students academically. And, although we are limited in our current learning model, we have been providing academic interventions when possible. Finally, and with the academic checkpoints, grading is important. When you look at your student's grades, remember that we have established a baseline of 50%. If you child has a grade hovering in the 50's at this time, they are not engaged in their learning and are not taking advantage of the interventions at Mountain View. This is not the best environment for students to learn but they still need to be engaged and actively participating in their classes. This will be especially important in the weeks and months ahead. Thank you for your support with regards to grades, attendance and participation. MUSD Transitioning to Regular Bell Schedule in Enhanced Hybrid Learning Model Beginning Monday, February 22, MUSD will return to a regular Monday-Thursday bell schedule when students are in school in-person. The District remains in the hybrid learning model at this time. Students will continue to have two days of flipped learning on rotating cohort days and Fridays will remain remote. It is our goal to implement the regular Monday-Thursday bell schedule for the remainder of the school year to provide students, teachers, and families a consistent schedule. The District will continue to keep teachers, families and staff informed of any schedule changes. The week of February 22 is Rodeo Break and therefore is a shortened week. We will implement the following schedule to balance in-person learning time: Week of February 22 - Rodeo Break week: Mon, February 22: Cohort A in-person, regular bell schedule Tues, February 23: Cohort B in-person, regular bell schedule Weds, February 24th: Remote Learning for all learners  Below is some valuable information regarding our ParentVUE app. We reference this often as this app will allow you to see your child's grades. As we have entered the mid-point of the third quarter it would be a great time to check in on grades and attendance for your child.
