We are SO grateful for the many Montview family members who are supporting our school community. Any Montview parent or family member is invited and encouraged to get involved. Our sincerest gratitude for our Montview Active Parents (MAP) - and everyone working so hard to support our kids and school community!

Estamos MUY agradecidos por los muchos miembros de la familia Montview que apoyan a nuestra comunidad escolar. Cualquier padre o familiar de Montview está invitado y animado a participar. ¡Nuestra más sincera gratitud a nuestros Padres Activos de Montview (MAP) y a todos los que trabajan tan duro para apoyar a nuestros niños y a la comunidad escolar!

We have 4 Montview Values:

1. Kindness - helping others, using nice words and actions, sharing, being respectful, welcoming, showing empathy and being willing to stand up for what is right, and thankful.
2. Responsibility - doing the right thing even when no one is looking or without being told. It's trying your best, being trustworthy and safe, and taking care of things and each other.
3. Teamwork - working together, taking turns, celebrating others' success, following agreements, helping others, and all this leads to a healthy community.
4. Self-Respect - taking care of your mind and body, setting boundaries, celebrating yourself or saying affirmations, and being kind to yourself with your words and actions.

We encourage you to use these words at home with your students, and ask them what they mean. Positively recognize your student(s) when you notice them demonstrating any of these values at home. Mention how it makes you feel. For example, "When I saw you take turns with your sibling, it made me feel so happy and relieved, knowing that you can work together nicely. Great teamwork!"

Tenemos 4 Valores Montview:

1. Bondad: ayudar a los demás, usar palabras y acciones agradables, compartir, ser respetuoso, acogedor, mostrar empatía y estar dispuesto a defender lo que es correcto y agradecido.
2. Responsabilidad: hacer lo correcto incluso cuando nadie está mirando o sin que nadie se lo diga. Se trata de hacer lo mejor que podemos, ser dignos de confianza y seguros, y cuidar de las cosas y de los demás.
3. Trabajo en equipo: trabajar juntos, turnarse, celebrar el éxito de los demás, seguir acuerdos, ayudar a los demás y todo esto conduce a una comunidad saludable.
4. Autorrespeto: cuidar tu mente y tu cuerpo, establecer límites, celebrarte o decir afirmaciones y ser amable contigo mismo con tus palabras y acciones.

Le recomendamos que utilice estas palabras en casa con sus alumnos y les pregunte qué significan. Reconozca positivamente a su(s) estudiante(s) cuando note que demuestra cualquiera de estos valores en casa. Menciona cómo te hace sentir. Por ejemplo, "Cuando te vi turnarte con tu hermano, me sentí muy feliz y aliviado al saber que podéis trabajar muy bien juntos. ¡Excelente trabajo en equipo!".
