We would like to invite you to our Mountain View/Tozer combined School Accountability Committee Meeting on Tuesday, September 26th at Mountain View Elementary School in the library. We will be discussing our goals for the year, assessment data, and alignment between the two schools.
Sign your child up for the MV Chess Club!
Does your child like to think and solve problems? Do they like to strategize and play games? If the answer is yes, then the MV Chess Club might be just right for them! Note: Your child doesn’t need to know how to play chess to participate.
We have room for 26 students to join Mr. Malmberg from 2:45-3:33 after school on 10/5, 10/19, 10/26, 11/9 and 11/16.
If your child is interested, fill out this form by 9/28. More information will follow.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Malmberg (samuel.malmberg@weldre4.org). FYI, Mr. Malmberg is a 3rd grade teacher at Mountain View. MV Chess Club will be in his classroom (Room 102).
Students in Mrs. Loch's 3rd grade class were creating a ball run for the end of their science unit. They had to apply all they had learned about force and motion- including unbalanced forces, gravity, and friction. The goal was to have their ping pong ball take the longest amount of time to exit the run.
Students also made awareness posters in Community Outreach to hang around the school about School Resource Officers.

School Information...
We are looking forward to partnering with you this year. As we begin the school year, we want to share some important information:
We ask that if you are dropping off or picking up your student that you make sure you are cognizant of students and other vehicles as this is a very busy time. If your student or you are going to cross traffic back and forth between the library, please use the center area and wait for a staff member to assist with crossing.
Our process for entering the school has changed; please push the button on the outside of the building, our staff will let you in to the vestibule, you will then push the interior button near the wooden door, you will be asked what your business in the school is; have your ID ready and you will be let into the office. It is our goal to keep our students and staff as safe as possible. Thank you for your patience as we navigate these positive changes.
