MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of Mountain View Elementary, through a partnership of staff, parents/guardians, and the community to instill in students a love of learning, foster academic excellence, and create a safe environment in which students feel empowered to become lifelong learners and positive contributors to society.
Together, we will formulate assessments to drive instruction that is meaningful and applicable and that meets students’ unique needs.
We will ensure that students succeed by monitoring their progress, improvement, and overall accomplishments. Students will demonstrate that they are succeeding by actively participating in their own education.
