Fellow Mustangs,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at City View! We are thrilled to see you and your children back in our halls, ready to embark on another journey of learning, growth, and success. Our excitement to make a positive impact on the lives of our students, families, and community is greater than ever.
At City View, we take pride in striving to be the best, and we believe that together, we can achieve more than anyone can imagine. This new school year is a fresh start, filled with endless opportunities to be the very best versions of ourselves.
Our approach is rooted in an "academics first" philosophy, coupled with firm discipline, and a commitment to modeling kindness and positivity for all. We hold ourselves to the highest standards because "Best is the Standard." ONE. We want to be ONE with the community, families, students, and staff with always having each others back and being TOGETHER for the betterment of the student.
We are eager to make this year great, and with your partnership, we know that "Together, We Will Win!" Families and Students, if no one has told you they love you today... WE Love You! Remember, it’s always a BETTER View as a Mustang.
Here’s to an amazing school year ahead!

Attendance Matters!
Did you know...? Why Daily Attendance Matters:
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
