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.

MVG Elementary students discovered these colorful painted rocks and kindness rocks scattered around the playground last Thursday. Even more exciting-they appear to have traveled all the way from Idaho to find their way to MVG! They are now on a journey to their next destination.
Such a sweet and unexpected way to add a little extra kindness and joy to our students' first day back!
Beginning August 10th, juniors & seniors can walk or DRIVE to lunch. NOTE: lunch is only from 12:40-1:00.
Also, students 7-10 can only leave at lunch if a parent comes to the office IN PERSON and signs their child out. This process will need to happen EACH DAY the parent wants their child to leave at lunch. The child can walk, go with the parent, or, if they have a license and the parent allows, may drive. All student drivers are NOT allowed to haul ANY fellow students. Thank you.
