Request from the High School
The high school has asked us to pass on these expectations for any middle school students attending NHS sporting contests:
*Students must be accompanied by an adult
*Students must remain seated in the bleachers unless they are heading to the concessions or restroom. No playing pickup football or soccer games. No climbing fences or batting cages around the perimeter of the football field.
The high school appreciates the help we all can give them to keep everyone safe.
Lunch Servers
Mrs. Mayes, our Cafeteria Manager, is still looking for 3rd lunch servers. Lunch servers receive free lunch and a snack or ice cream out of al a carte. Interested students should speak with Mrs. Mayes.
8th Grade Washington DC Trip
If your 8th Graders is planning to attend the Washington DC trip and would like to participate in the flower bulb fundraiser, Mrs. Martinez, in the Counseling Office, has information.
6th Graders
6th graders will be turning in their ID card on Tuesday to see if they’ve earned the first round sticker. An announcement will be made on Monday explaining that students drop their card off in the Office before school on Tuesday and pick it up at lunch time.
Lego Robotics
If you have a student who likes to creatively build with Legos and work with robots, then the Lego Robotics Club might be for them. This year's Lego Robotics Club will officially start meeting after school until 4 pm on Mondays in Room 151 with the first meeting scheduled for September 22.
Writers' Group
Students who would like to meet other budding writers and write creatively should check out the Writers’ Group. The first one met after school on Thursday…stay tuned for the next meeting date.
Spirit Days
Almost every month, Mtn. View has a Spirit Day with different themes. The first one will be Comfy Cozy Day on Friday, September 26. Students can wear pjs, sweats or whatever makes them feel comfy as long as it follows dress code rules. Dress code rules can be found in the Mtn. View Parent/Student Handbook:

Mtn. View Parent Group (MVPG) Dances
Next Friday is our first MVPG dance from 7-9pm in the MV Gym. This month's dance theme is "Back in the Groove" VIP Tickets will be on sale for $6 next Thursday and Friday, or students can pay $5 at the door. There's something for everyone, in addition to dancing, there will also be a raffle, lots of games, a photo area, and a hot dog combo will be for sale in the Snack Shack. To enter the dance, students need their ID (no ID, you get to walk them to the door to verify that they are middle school students), $5 (if they did not purchase the VIP ticket) and extra cash if they would like to purchase items from the Snack Shack.
Blogs
Many teachers have blogs to keep parents and students up-to-date. The blogs are listed on Mtn. View’s website:
