Hello Mission Valley Elementary Families,
Happy fall season! We've had some cloudy and rainy weather this week signaling the change in seasons. It's a good time to remind students to dress in layers. Mornings may be cool or wet but by lunchtime it can be sunny and warm - typical of California! Families, please slow down when driving in the school zone. Wet roads and inclement weather can make it harder to break quickly or see pedestrians crossing in front of your vehicle.
This month we are looking foward to Walk and Roll to School Day, the Great California ShakeOut Drill, Red Ribbon Week, and Halloween. Please find information and guidelines about these events in the sections below. We encourage all families to participate and stay connected!
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

Halloween Dressing and Celebration Guidelines
Halloween Dressing and Celebration Guidelines
Our annual Halloween Parade will occur on Friday, October 31 during the school day. This will be an outdoor event and parent spectators are welcome. Teachers will share more information as we get closer to the date.
Halloween Costumes: Dressing for Halloween is a fun and festive part of October that many of our students and staff are looking forward to. The following guidelines have been created for those who choose to dress up for Halloween on Friday, October 31 (not required):
If students are going to wear a costume, they must wear it to school. Students will not be permitted to change into costumes or apply makeup or hairspray at school. All costume preparations must be done at home. Students must be able to wear their costume inside or outside, at recess, and during P.E.
Costumes must not interfere with learning, movement or using the restroom (no adult support will be available at school to assist with costumes).
Dress code- all regular Fremont Unified dress code policies apply. On this day only, students may wear hats inside as part of their costumes.
Violence – no pretend “prop” weapons such as guns, knives, or swords, and no blood or gore
Age Appropriateness – costumes cannot promote the use of drugs, alcohol, or violence of any kind
Consideration of others – costumes must not make fun of others or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion
Students who wear costumes that do not conform to the costume guidelines will be asked to change their clothing or call home to acquire an appropriate alternative.

Young Authors Contest
Young Authors Contest
We are excited to announce the Young Author Contest for students in TK through 5th grade! This contest is a fantastic opportunity for our young learners to express their creativity, improve their writing skills, and gain confidence by sharing their original stories.
Please encourage your students to participate by submitting their best work. All entries will be reviewed, and winners will be recognized by the Board at the February 25, 2026, Board meeting. A video will be made compiling photos from each school. This is a great way to motivate students to develop their literacy skills in a fun and engaging way.
Submission information will be shared by classroom teachers. Thank you for helping us nurture the next generation of authors!

The "Lost & Found" is located in the corridor between the office and room 1. There are hooks on the outside office wall full of sweatshirts, jackets, hats, lunch bags, and water bottles. If your student is missing an item please check this area and claim your belongings. Items are removed and donated periodically. We will notify students and families before donating any items. If you lost a set of keys, watch, jewelry, or other small items you can check with office staff to see if it was turned in. As a reminder, the school is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

Have pre-approval of teacher/principal

When possible our office staff prefers to support parents and families via email or phone. Please contact specific staff members for any appointment requests.
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.
