Reminders for October:

Oct 29 – Preregistration for Kindergarten at Mountain View School is cancelled. If you have a child that will be turning 5 by December 2027, please visit our website – Under School to learn more, and please reach out to the Welcome Center to register.
🎃 Multiage Halloween Day – Oct 30
Students will spend the morning learning and having fun together in K to 5 mixed-age groups through a variety of engaging activities that build community and connection. Students are welcome to wear whatever brings them joy, whether that’s a costume, orange and black clothing, or their regular school clothes. Dressing up is completely optional. If your child chooses to wear a costume, please remember: No masks, No fake weapons, No inflatable costumes.
