Good evening Mountain Lion family,
Last Friday afternoon our instructional leadership team and our Mountain View administration spent the day reflecting, regrouping and refocusing. From this retreat we have identified Mountain View to be a school focused on creating a Culture of Universal Achievement. This new motto encompasses everything we hold onto as values and it also sets our mission for the 2021-2022 school year. This culture can be summarized by these believe statements:
- We believe EVERYONE at Mountain View can learn
- We believe you should not be allowed to Opt Out of learning
- We believe in deeper planning
- We believe high-quality grading and assessment should be aligned
- We believe in high-quality lessons to ensure high levels of student engagement
We are very excited to begin the next school year and continue the momentum from Friday.
This is Teacher Appreciation Week and we would like you to consider supporting our teachers and letting them know that we are grateful for the hard work and commitment they have demonstrated throughout the pandemic.
Teachers change the lives of millions of children everyday—the impact of their work moves us beyond words! During Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3-7, we invite you to download this special thank-you card for your student to #ThankATeacher, or post to social media to tell your teacher how much you appreciate them.
