A special welcome to our returning students and families. we are so happy to see you again! And to all of our new students and families, welcome to the Mountain View family! We are thrilled that you are here.

Pick Up and Drop Off

Please review the drop-off and pick-up map below before the first day. Parking is available in the areas circled in red on the map.
For both drop-off and pick-up, families will use the front entrance (yellow arrow). Students will be dropped off and picked up in the gym.
A few important parking reminders:
  • Please do not park in the bus loop, as this area needs to remain clear for buses.
  • Our parking lot is small, so please be patient and courteous with other families as everyone arrives and departs.
  • Please follow the designated parking areas on the map and allow extra time during busy drop-off and pick-up times.
  • If you anticipate being late for pick-up, please contact the office to let us know.
AM Preschool Pick-Up
For our AM Preschool families, doors will open at 11:40 a.m. for pick-up. This allows our teachers to have their full lunch break and dedicated planning time between sessions. We appreciate your help in arriving at the designated pick-up time so our staff can maintain this important time to prepare for the afternoon.
Thank you for helping us make arrival and dismissal safe, smooth, and successful for everyone!

Standard Response Protocol

Our district will continue with our adopted Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff will continuing learning and practicing the protocol. 
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol. The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these, the action is labeled with a “Term of Art” and is then followed by a “Directive.” Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders. The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.

How to Help Your Child Have a Successful Bedtime -Backpack Connection Series

Infants and young children need 10 to 12 hours of sleep daily in order to support healthy development. Parents also need to feel rested in order to be nurturing and responsive to their growing and active young children. When your child does not get enough sleep, challenging behaviors are likely to occur. Your child might be moody, short tempered and unable to engage well in interactions with others. Lack of sleep can also have a negative impact on your child’s ability to learn. When a young child sleeps, her body is busy developing new brain cells that she needs for her physical, mental and emotional development. Babies and young children thrive on predictability and learn from repetition. It is important to establish a bedtime routine that you and your child both understand and helps everyone to feel calm and relaxed.
