A Community of Empowered, Innovative and Engaged Citizens Mountain Lion Monday Good evening Mountain View families, We completed our accreditation visit last week and are very excited to share some of the information from their report. Our Cognia evaluators were so impressed by our school. They spoke on and on about how thoughtful, professional, and dedicated our teachers are staff are and our overall vision for student success. While we will have many more details to come the three emerging trends in the impactful range include the following: Our commitment to embracing a mastery approach for all students. We have a well-established mentoring and coaching program at both the district AND site level. We have a viable curriculum (UbD) that meets the needs of all students and allows for student choice. Two areas identified for future improvement (and we are excited to start this next part of our journey): We will use date driven processes to evaluate our programs. We will create processes to allow teachers to use data to evaluate their own practices uses data to impact content delivery. "We know this works because…." So, as a school, we feel like you knocked this virtual engagement out of the park, we were all able to share what makes Mountain View so special, and we got great feedback that aligns with where we hope to move our school in the future. Thank you to everyone that participated and supported us through this journey and we look forward to your help as we continue the journey in the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are nearing the end of the third quarter. Attached is the bell schedule for the final week of the quarter. As I have shared in the last few Mountain Lion Mondays, it is really important for students to be engaged in their classes and that they are providing their teachers with measurements of their learning and knowledge. And, with the end of the quarter fast approaching, it is imperative that students use the last two weeks to finish their work and submit it to their teachers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seniors and senior parents, please see the attached letter concerning caps and gowns for our May 18 graduation ceremony. We will provide more information about graduation following Spring Break. The exciting news is we will be having an in-person graduation ceremony at Mountain View. There will be limitations on how many people can attend per graduate and we are talking about these limits and will share them once we have this finalized. For students that do not wish to attend the in-person event, we will have an alternative plan in place. More details to come. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During this Remote/Hybrid Learning, we are changing our attendance procedure In Short: If your child is marked present for class, there is nothing to do. If your child is marked absent, and you can verify that s/he did engage with school work, complete and submit the form so we can reflect that in Parent and StudentVue. The form must be completed for each child separately. The form can be re-used, and must be submitted for each day that you wish to correct. Parent Attendance Form:  https://forms.gle/VXecea9BBftfxHJF9 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.
