Stickers
6th graders and 7th and 8th Graders who are new to Mtn. View this year turned in their ID on Tuesday to see if they earned a Round 1 sticker. Round 2 stickers will be given out in mid-October. What do students earn? Learn here: http://www.newberg.k12.or.us/mountainview/incentive-program
Pictures
We hope pictures made it home to you! Every student who had a picture taken received an envelope. Why does every student receive an envelope? Lifetouch began this practice last year. It gives parents the chance to order pictures if they’ve changed their mind.
Picture retakes will be October 17.
*If your student did not have their picture taken, they will have it done on the 17th. If you would like to order pictures, have them stop by the Office for a picture packet.
*If you would like retakes, have your student bring their pictures back on the 17th and hand it to the Lifetouch people when they have their picture taken.
