Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome back! My name is Coleen Brown and I will be your child’s teacher. This is my fifth-year teaching at Mountain View School.  I am excited to start a new school year with you.

This will be my 20th year teaching in elementary education. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. After a few years, I went back to college and received my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. I found my calling in teaching, and I enjoy children of all ages.  

As a teacher, it is an honor to be a part of making a difference in a child’s life. I want to instill in each of my students a love for learning. Children are unique with their individual talents and abilities. I encourage my students to do their best, and let them know I am here for them during their educational journey. I have high expectations for my students and I want to see each of my students reach their full potential. In my classroom, I nurture a sense of community and belonging. I want my students to feel safe and be a part of the MVS family.

I have five children of my own, most of them are adults now, so I understand the importance of having good parent-teacher communication.  I am open to communication via email or in person/phone call whenever needs or issues arise. I will also communicate with a Weekly Blast that events, important dates, and our learning goals for the week.  Please make sure you sign up for my Class Dojo for all school announcements.  

Our Meet the Teacher event will be held on Tuesday, August 1st 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. I look forward to meeting you. 

The first day of school is Thursday, August 3rd. My classroom doors are open each day at 8:40 am for “Soft Start” and school begins promptly at 9:00 am. Should you have any questions before then, please do not hesitate to send me an email. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Brown
