Hello Mission Valley Elementary Families,
Happy new year! We hope your winter break was joyful and students are coming back refreshed and ready to jump back into school routines. We want express our deep appreciation for the Mission Valley community for your generosity and support with our service events, Kids Against Hunger and the Tri City Toy Drive. Your kind acts made a huge impact in the lives of many members of our community.
Post winter break is the perfect time to review our Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) "3 Be's" with our students. You may have noticed our monthly 3 Be's drawing winners posted on the school marquee and in our school newsletters. We are proud to recognize students that have shown what it means to "Be Responsible," "Be Respectful," and "Be a Problem Solver." Families will continue to receive Friday weekly notes for students, so please ask them about the Fun Friday activities they earned. Students that have difficulties demonstrating the 3 Be's consistently may receive a Behavior Ticket that will also be reflected in the weekly communication. If you ever have questions about your student's progress please contact their classroom teacher at any time.
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

School Attendance Awareness .pdfIF(imaginary friends) movie night.pdfMVSA Multicultural Festival
Hello Parents,
Multicultural Fest 2025 is planned for Friday, April 11th. This event offers students a space to share their cultures, customs, and traditions with fellow students. Families are invited to the school to share elements of their culture/ ethnicity via our kids with other members of the school community.
This fest is led by the students supported by parents that will be having booths representing various countries, multiple activities for kids, food trucks, fashion show, music, dance etc. We really need a big pool of volunteers to make this successful and would love to have representation from multiple backgrounds to showcase the diversity of our community so we ask that families volunteer to be part of this celebration.
Preparation for this just started. Please contact/message/email if you would like to participate/volunteer in a team. We need team members for various tasks like planning team, execution team, campus design, decor, activities team, procurement team, food truck management, and fund raising. Feel free to share your creative thoughts and let's make it a great team work.

FREE School Meals Program
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 will head out to the blacktop and be in line by the start bell (grades TK-K 8:10am, 1-5 8:20am).
The lunch break for grades 3-5 is from 11:00-11:45am. Kindergarten is from 11:45am-12:25pm and grades 1-2 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.
