• It is imperative that your child fully charges his/her Chromebook each evening. Students will not be provided with spare chargers or a place in the classroom to charge their devices and will instead be scheduled to make up their test session.

- The Mountain View Parent Council serves on a volunteer basis and works with Mrs. Toth (Principal) with the primary objective of fostering dialogue and communication on school-wide topics between the parent community and the School Administration. This team works on behalf of all parents to discuss educational and administrative matters that are of importance to all. The Mountain View Parent Council is in need of volunteers for the 2024-2025 school year to serve a 2-year term. Meetings take place monthly on Friday mornings.

The Parent Council has the following openings next year (grades will be those of your child NEXT year):

• 6th grade (2)
• 8th grade (1)

If you are interested in serving on the Parent Council, please contact Mrs. Toth as soon as possible, and no later than May 10.

- Notes from Mrs. Austenberg:

• It’s finally feeling like Spring! As the weather is getting warmer, please make sure your child comes to school with a refillable water bottle every day!
• This week was sign ups for Fall sports (current 5th, 6th, & 7th graders) through a Google Form. Please check with your child to see if they indicated an intention to try out. Please refer to the Student Athlete Information page for instructions on submitting the appropriate paperwork, as well as changes to the procedure for submission of “sign off sheets," which will now be done via the Genesis Parent Portal. All Sports Physicals will be due to the Health Office on the first day of school, Monday, August 26. The anticipated start of tryouts will be Wednesday, September 4. Please reach out to Mrs. Austenberg for any questions.
