Our 2024 Mountain View Elementary Winter Concert, “Songs and Stories for Snowy Days,” will be performed on Wednesday, December 18th at 9 am and 1pm in the Red Lodge Civic Center. We have a fun, festive show planned and there are a few ways you can help:

Help your student to dress nicely—festive holiday attire. We want to make ourselves and our audience feel good. 

We don’t want our attire to take the focus away from the music, so please ask if you have questions about what is or isn’t appropriate attire. 

Volunteer to help with the concert. You can sign up to volunteer here: 

Thank you,

Mr. Burdick, Elementary music teacher and 4-5 art teacher

Dear Families, 

You will be getting your child's report card in their Friday Folder.  This is our first report card utilizing Standard Based Grading.  Please remember- you will likely see many E's (emerging)  and D's (developing) as this is our first quarter and the students first introduction to the grade-level standard.  Students will be emerging and developing in their ability to understand and apply this standard. This is not a reflection of their work completed; their homework could consistently be getting stars, smiley face, and 100%.  This shows they are on track and doing great toward mastery of the standard (working toward that proficient or advanced).  You will see homework success reflected in the grade under Habits of Success. 

Also- please be sure to return envelope that report cards are sent home in. 

Thanks!

Storybook Pumpkin Contest

Pumpkins need to be dropped off on Monday the 28th. Family and friends are invited to come view the pumpkins in the library after school on Tuesday the 29th or Wednesday the 30th until 4:00pm. Please pick pumpkins up after school on the 31st or November 1st. 

Dear Parents and Guardians,


I am excited to announce that our pilot Gifted and Talented After-School STEAM program has been approved by the school board. 


Students were selected based on their fall Iready Math Diagnostic results.  Any 2nd or 3rd grade student who scored in the highest grouping will be invited to participate.  Students will have the opportunity to join after each diagnostic if they score in the highest grouping.


Again, this is a pilot project where we are woking out the kinks. Upon its success, we will hopefully expand.  The project is possible thanks to parent volunteers.

Parents,

If you are hoping to connect with your child's teacher please take the time to set up a time to meet.  We appreciate your communication but it is difficult to stop what we are doing and have a meeting without any notice.  

Thank you!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

There have been a few questions regarding lunchtime.  This year we went back to the same lunch routine we had 2 years ago.  Last year we tried to group three grades so that we had two lunches. Ultimately, this was not the best process as there were too many students in the lunchroom at one time and it took too long to get through the lunch line.  Last year classes had 30 minutes to eat.  This year students have 20- 25 minutes but there are 40 fewer students in the cafeteria at once. The first few weeks of lunch feels very rushed as we get back in the routine but now that everyone has the "system" down it is efficient.  We are working hard to remind our students to chat a little less and eat a little more and they are getting it down!  We will continue to assess and adjust as necessary. 

Thank you,

JB

Attention Parent Volunteers!!

If you are wanting to/planning on volunteering in the classroom this school year you MUST go get finger prints done BEFORE you will be allowed to volunteer. Please come into the middle school as soon as possible to see our Business Manager, Brande, to get the consent forms/turn in your fingerprints. If you go to the courthouse to get fingerprinted and mention they are for the school there will be no cost to you. If you do end up paying to get them done you can be reimbursed by the school.
