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

Be sure your student has all of their belongings (backpack, homework, supplies, personal items, etc.) upon school arrival. We will not call classrooms or deliver items during class as this is a disruption to instruction.
Lunches and water bottles may be dropped off in the cart outside the office until 10:30am daily. The cart will be delivered to the multiuse room before lunchtime and it is the student's responsibility to retrieve their items. Students who forget to bring lunch may receive a free school lunch.
Families at Mission Valley may enroll their child in a before and after school extended day program with the YMCA. Families with students who are designated in one or more specific categories (English learners, foster youth, homeless students, migrant students, and students who are free or reduced-price meal eligible) may be eligible to participate in the YMCA Program at Mission Valley at no cost through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P). Please submit the ELO-P application to determine eligibility and visit the FUSD ELO-P website for details. You may also contact the YMCA Director Leslye Ramirez at Lramirez@ymcaeastbay.org.
Fremont Unified School District offers a variety of resources that families can access. No matter your need please check in with us an we will do our best to help!

If your family is unhoused or dealing with food insecurity please contact our district Family Liaison Melissa Espinoza at (510)657-2350 Extension #12378.

All students are eligible for one free breakfast meal and one lunch meal this school year. Breakfast is served in the multiuse room daily from 7:45-8:10am. Drop off your student in the front of school or valet. Students will follow the signs and walk down the main hallway to the multiuse room. After eating and cleaning up, students go out to the blacktop to be in line by the start bell.
The lunch break for grades 3-5 is from 11:00-11:45am grades K-2 from 11:45am-12:30pm. After eating and cleaning up, students will go to the blacktop and play structures for recess.
If students forget lunches and water bottles you can leave them in the "lunch cart" in front of the office by 10:30am daily. The cart will be delivered to the multiuse room before lunchtime and it is the student's responsibility to retrieve their items. Students who forget to bring lunch may receive a free school lunch. Students should bring a pre-filled water bottle to school daily and may refill water bottles at our refilling stations as needed.
