- On January 24 and 27, Mountain View staff will be administering both a Mathematics and ELA assessment to all students at Mountain View using the LinkIt! online testing platform. The district has been using LinkIt! since 2015; students have multiple years of experience with this platform. Each year, we administer three rounds in both ELA and Mathematics , with the data from each round being used in various ways, from providing information about student progress, to evaluating our programs.To create a more formal testing atmosphere, we will have all the students remain in their homeroom to complete the Form B assessments, which is consistent with the administration of the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment in the spring. Note that a revised bell schedule will be in place, with all students taking the LinkIt! From 8:30 - 9:45, and the normal class schedule resuming thereafter.

This week's Middle School Superpowers parent book club and Advisory lesson focused on Super Agency, the power to find your purpose and take initiative, and Super Force Field, the power to set healthy boundaries.
