Read Across America

Happy Read Across America week!

Happy Sunday, Mountain View Families!

We hope you didn't forget to "spring forward"! We are also ready to spring forward with a lot going on in the last trimester- so much to look forward to!

Thank you to everyone for your support with our APEX Read-a-thon; we raised $5,928! We hope your children enjoyed reading, and also had fun with our Read Across America celebrations last week.

Next week we start Penny Wars- see the flier below.

See you next week!

GO MUSTANGS!

Support During Ramadan

As part of our commitment to supporting all students, Nutrition Services will be offering grab-and-go meal options for students who are fasting during Ramadan, March 3-28, 2025. These meals will be available for students to pick up after-school and consume later when they break their fast. To help us plan accordingly, we kindly ask that you submit a Request for Meals Form if your student will fasting during the school day but they would like to receive their meals. The form along with heating instructions are posted on the Nutrition Services website under the Ramadan To-Go Meals tab.  Requested meals will be available in the school office at the end of the school day.  

If your child is in need of accommodation during Ramadan, please let us know in the school office.
