Hello Mission Valley Elementary Families,
We've had a wonderful start to the school year! Students are back into normal routines and Kindergarten students will be switching to their extended day schedule. We hope you were able to visit us at Back to School Night last week. If you were unable to attend please reach out to your child's teacher to get any information you may have missed. You can also view the principal's welcome presentation which includes general information and announcements from the MVSA.
We welcome your feedback! Please take a few minutes to complete the parent/guardian survey. Your responses will help guide planning for future workshops and parent meetings. We also want to know what support you need to help your child have a successful school year.
As a reminder Mission Valley is a closed campus. Your student's safety as well as the safety of our staff and community is of vital importance. There are signs around the sidewalks in front of school and hallways that mark closed pathways. Show your support and help us model for our students what it looks like to be respectful of the posted signage. If you are volunteering or have a meeting with staff during school hours please check in at the office first. Remember to sign out when you leave.
Let's have a great year! For any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Be sure to check out our school website or Parent Square for the most current information regarding events, schedules, and contact information. You can also read the scrolling messages on our marquee near the valet entrance. GO BEAVERS!
Jacyln McClintock, Principal
