2023-24 School Year Welcome Message [English/Spanish]
Christine McDaniels,
Dear Mountain Vista Families,
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! Our Mountain Vista Team want to make this a successful year for all our students and families. I hope everyone enjoyed their summer break! This summer was very busy in the Wildcat Kingdom. We hosted district wide Summer School and Star Nova enrichment. Our fabulous team of teachers have been getting ready to welcome our students back to campus. We would like to welcome Ms. Logan to our 4th Grade Team. As you see new faces on campus, smile and introduce yourself. You never know how a smile can change someone’s day! We begin our year with a new Vision and Mission Statements to guide us. Mission: The Mountain Vista Community is committed to academic excellence for all students. Vision: Our vision is to develop well-rounded confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential.
As a staff, 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. School wide our expectations for excellence focus on CHAMPS: Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, Participation and Success. Every area has expectations posted so our students are successful wherever they travel on campus. Our school is fortunate to have a Wellness Center on campus. The Wellness Center will support student and family needs.
I encourage parents to stay informed and connected to school and Fillmore Unified School District information via Class DOJO, Parent Square, and District website. This year parents will complete information for returning students online beginning Monday, August 01. You may register on the Fillmore Unified School District website.
Parent engagement and support are vital to student success. We invite all families to joint 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.
Important information:
Wednesday, August 09 is Schedule Pick-up Day from 1:00pm-6:00pm in the cafeteria.
Wednesday, August 16th is the first day of school.
Our Valet Gate opens at 7:30 for breakfast at the shade structure. The first bell rings at 7:55 to enter class. Students should be in their classrooms by 8:00. Students arriving after 8:00 are tardy.
Students may bring a water bottle or a reusable water bottle. We do have refillable water stations. Students may bring a snack for recess, and we offer a second chance breakfast during recess.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to our school if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Christine McDaniels,
