Mtn. View’s Conference and Book Fair Schedule
There is no school on Thursday, October 30 and Friday, October 31.
Visit Mtn. View’s Fall Book Fair on Wednesday, October 29 and Thursday, October 30. The book fair will be open during conference times as well as after school on October 29. Scholastic accepts cash, checks and credit cards.
Because of conferences, there is no After School Study Hall and After School late bus on October 29.
Mtn. View Fall Conferences will be held:
*Wednesday, October 29 from 4-8 pm arena style in the MV Gym
*Thursday, October 30 from 11:30-3 pm in Teacher Classrooms
*Thursday, October 30 from 4-8 pm arena style in the MV Gym
What are arena style conferences? All teachers will be set up in the Gym with a few exceptions (a list will be available of these teachers at Conferences). We will have signs with teacher’s names next to the teacher. Chairs will be set up for waiting parents in front of each teacher.
Do I have to sign up for conferences? No, all conferences are on a first come, first served basis and we ask that you limit your time to 10-15 minutes per teacher as other parents are waiting. If you require a longer session, please contact the teacher via email to request a meeting with them.
Do I need to bring my student? That is up to you. What would be good for you to bring is a list of their teachers.

MV Builder’s Club
Mt. View Middle School will be starting a Builders Club. Builders Club is a middle school service club under the direction of the Newberg Kiwanis Club. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. If your student was in K-Kids at Mabel Rush Elementary this is the same type of club but for middle school. The high school club is called Key Club.
The MVMS Builders Club will meet every other Wednesday morning from 7:45–8:30 am starting on November 19, 2014 through May 20, 2015 in the MVMS library. The first meeting of 2015 will be on January 14, 2015 and then every other week until May 20, 2015. The Builders Club will help with service projects around school and in the community. The Builders Club is currently open to all students in grades 6 - 8. Interested students can check with Ms. Bryant in Room 103 for an application. Applications are due back to Ms. Bryant by November 14.
If you have questions regarding the Builders Club or Kiwanis please contact Kiwanis President Terry Molander at 503-538-2581.
