Hello Mission Valley Elementary Families,
Welcome back to school! I am so excited to meet our new students and say hello to our returning Beavers! Hopefully you had a wonderful summer break and are coming back energized and ready to learn.
The front office is open from 7:30am-3:30pm. If you are in need of assistance please give us a call, visit in person, or reach out by email. To help kick off the year, parents and guardians are invited to drop in for "Pastries with the Principal & Counselor" on Friday, August 15th.
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!

2025-2026 MV School Schedule.pdfNow Open: Parent/Guardian Data Confirmation
Now Open: Parent/Guardian Data Confirmation
MAZE is Fremont Unified School District’s annual data confirmation process (Aeries Parent Portal) in which parents/guardians login:
Please double check your email/account information in the top right corner,
provide required information for each enrolled student - such as emergency contacts,
acknowledge certain parent/guardian and student rights and responsibilities, and
access specific school forms/information.
Completing the MAZE process ensures your student’s school has accurate information, and allows families to view student schedules/classroom assignments and their teachers when that information is released.
Any teacher/schedule information is NOT FINAL until released by the school sites a few days before the start of school.
Portal Logins (troubleshooting tips)
For Aeries support please email portalsupport@fusdk12.net or contact your student's school office.

Family Handbook
Please review Mission Valley's Family Handbook and familiarize yourself with our school policies and procedures.
School Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
School Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
Please help us keep our students and staff safe by following our parking and valet procedures. Safety is our number one priority in the morning and afternoons as our students and staff arrive and depart from school. Please pass this message along to your carpool drivers as well.
MORNING (UNLOADING)
Families dropping off students must enter the campus from the cone lane on Denise Street. You can ONLY get into the queue from Lockwood Avenue/Chadbourne Drive. There are no left turns from McKay Street or from Denise Street into or out of the school valet area. Please pull all the way forward into the valet and do not get out of your vehicle. Other passengers who are not Mission Valley students need to remain in the vehicle as well. The unloading/loading zone begins after the crosswalk/flagpole and ends after the carpool turnout. Please do not unload along the red curbs or in the middle of the street. Keep your vehicle moving and don’t stop in the middle of the valet as it impedes the traffic flow. Ten to twelve cars can enter the zone at a time. Pedestrians need to use designated crosswalks. They should not cross the parking lot or grass island.
AFTERNOON (LOADING)
Follow the same traffic procedures as the morning drop off. Vehicles should enter the valet no less than 5 minutes before your student’s final bell. For example, if you have a 5th grader only, enter the valet after 2:40pm on regular days. If you arrive too early you will be asked to go around the block and begin the procedure again. This will allow families to use the valet to pick up younger students that get out earlier. Students should wait for shuttle drivers in the “carpool” zone.
PARKING
The parking lots in the front and back of the school are for Mission Valley staff only. The side access road is for EMERGENCY VEHICLES, MISSION VALLEY STAFF, and FUSD DELIVERIES ONLY. If you park in the surrounding neighborhood please respect red curbs, private driveways, and crosswalks. Please keep the bus loop clear for DISTRICT SCHOOL BUSES and CONTRACTED PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION only.
FREE Bike Helmets
FREE Bike Helmets
In partnership with the Fremont Safe Routes to School Program we have enjoyed conducting bicycle, scooter and pedestrian safety education for our students. As you know a bicycle helmet is a big part of safety especially when you consider that 85% of head injuries can be avoided if the bicyclist or scooter rider is wearing helmet. Please use this guide to fit your student's helmet properly. We have a limited number of free bike helmets available for students who need them. Please contact Principal McClintock or the office if you need a helmet.

New Planter Boxes
We appreciate Aashrith M and Boy Scout Troop #153 for their volunteer work in upgrading our school garden. The team repaired two planter boxes that were vandalized last school year.

Eco Innovate Initiative - Birdbox Project
Eco Innovate Initiative - Birdbox Project
Eco Innovate was sparked in January 2024 by a team of high schoolers who discovered a passion for solving environmental issues with state-of-the-art technology. The team installs bird boxes to gather data on bird populations and ecological health, in particular the Tree Swallow population in Fremont. Last spring a box was implemented in Mission Valley and other FUSD sites. The team aims to monitor swallow populations through bird boxes fitted with infrared-detecting Raspberry Pi cameras, infrared LEDs to take photos at night and in the dark, and a Cloud storage system. Below is the QR code where you can view the photos taken inside Mission Valley's bird box! Reach out to birdboxers11124@gmail.com for any inquires.
