PRIDE: What It Looks Like for Our Students
We ask a lot of our students.
We ask them to work hard, learn, participate, make good choices, and take responsibility for themselves.
We also expect them to show respect.
Respect for teachers.
Respect for classmates.
Respect for coaches and staff.
Respect for themselves.
Respect for our school.
Respect doesn't mean you will always agree with someone. It doesn't mean you will always get your way. It means you can disagree, be disappointed, or be frustrated without being disrespectful.
Our students are learning more than what is taught in a textbook. They are learning how to work with people, how to handle disappointment, how to respond to authority, and how to take responsibility for their choices.
Those lessons matter.
We don't expect our students to be perfect. We do expect them to learn from their mistakes and make better choices the next time.
Show up. Work hard. Show respect. Take responsibility.
That's what PRIDE looks like.
And those are habits that will serve our students long after they leave Mountain View-Gotebo.
Student Success — in the classroom, at home, on the court/field and in life.

September’s Focus: PRIDE
As we start the school year, I want to spend some time talking about one of the things we are emphasizing at Mountain View-Gotebo: PRIDE.
For us, PRIDE means having pride in yourself, your work, your school, and your community.
It isn't about being better than someone else. It is about caring enough to do your best and to represent yourself and your school well.
PRIDE can be seen in the little things:
Showing up on time.
Doing your work.
Taking care of our buildings.
Treating people with respect.
Encouraging someone who is struggling.
Giving your best effort even when nobody is watching.
Those things may seem small, but they add up.
Over the next few weeks, I'll talk about what PRIDE looks like for our students, our staff, our parents, and our community.
My hope is that PRIDE becomes more than a word we use. I want it to become part of who we are.
Student Success — in the classroom, at home, on the court/field and in life.
