2026-2027 School Year Welcome Message

ear Mountain Vista Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! Our Mountain Vista Team want to make this a fabulous year for all our students, families, and school community. I hope everyone had an opportunity for fun, family, and friends during summer break! This summer was very busy in the Wildcat Kingdom. Our fabulous team of teachers have been getting ready to welcome our students back to campus. We would like to welcome Mr. Vaca as our new Education Specialist.

As a school family, we recognize returning to school can be an anxious time for students and families. With the support of our counselor, Ms. Mercado, we will continue to focus on social emotional learning in the classroom using the Second Step Program. Ms. Mercado is available to support all students in our Wellness Center located in the F Building. Students may utilize the Wellness Center during breaks and lunch times. Families may also reach out to Ms. Mercado for support for their student or community resources.

I encourage parents to stay informed and connected to school and Fillmore Unified School District information via Class DOJO, Parent Square, and the District website. This year, we ask parents to complete the Re-enrollment forms online prior to August 04, our Registration Day. You may complete the Re-enrollment forms on the Fillmore Unified School District website under the Family Resources tab and click Q SIS. 

Parent engagement and support are vital to student success. We invite all families to join our Parent and Staff Booster organization. Our purpose is to support teachers and students to enhance their experiences at Mountain Vista. Parents who would like to chaperone field trips or volunteer on campus may complete the Volunteer Application on the District website. Parents are also encouraged to participate in monthly School Site Council and English Learner Advisory Committee meetings.
