Community Outreach Project:  Donations Needed starting next week until Christmas break!!

Mrs. Bragg's Community Outreach class will be making Christmas cards and ornaments for the residents at the Pelican Pointe Health and Rehabilitation Center next door to Mountain View.  We would love it if our parents would partner alongside this activity and help by donating any Christmas or holiday themed supplies.  Items needed include: blank ornaments, red or green cardstock paper, stickers, or anything else that would help the students to make and decorate these projects!

Notes from the Gym.....

Hello Mountain View families!


Now that the snow has come and wants to stay, PE has returned to the gym full-time. This is a great opportunity for students to learn and practice Pickleball! Pickleball is one of the mainstay units at Mountain View because there are areas in our community to participate in this great activity. Main park has multiple pickleball courts which means all you need to play is a couple of paddles and a ball! Simple pickleball paddles are quite inexpensive if your student shows interest in playing pickleball outside of PE. These courts are reserved on most Wednesdays and Fridays in April and May, but there should be plenty of time and space to play. Students will be learning the basic skills of pickleball in PE, enough to get them active with this fast growing sport. I hope your student enjoys the unit and picks up some new skills!


Best,


Evan McDermott, Physical Education Teacher

Board of Education Approves Boundary Changes

The Board of Education voted to approve new elementary and middle school boundaries at its November 13 regular meeting. A revised boundary map can be found at https://bit.ly/3qTQJjH. The impact of the changes includes:


All elementary school families will receive a message at the end of November notifying them of their new boundary school. If families desire to attend a school that is not their assigned boundary school, a Choice Enrollment application will be needed, including those entering second grade at Tozer Primary School and fifth grade at all schools.


If your student has been previously accepted to a school via Choice Enrollment, their acceptance will be honored through the remainder of their year(s) at that level (i.e., elementary, middle, or high), and you do not need to re-apply. Learn More

Located in the Peakview neighborhood (550 Sundance Dr., Windsor, Colo), the new elementary school will be named “Hollister Lake Elementary.” "Orchard Hill Elementary" is located in the RainDance neighborhood (2015 Covered Bridge Pkwy., Windsor, Colo).
