Absences:
Good attendance is essential for students to learn. Students must come to
school in accordance with the State Attendance Law. At Mt. View we value
learning. Verification of student absences and tardiness is a check on a
student's safe arrival at school.
Parents/guardians are required to send a note explaining the reason for each
absence. The note should include the day of absence, nature of illness and
the parent/guardian signature. We would appreciate a call to the office the
day of the absence. We are required to document absences and follow
procedures when excessive or unexcused absences or late arrivals occur.
Students must report directly to the office if they arrive late to school. |

Bicycles: Students in grades 4-6 may ride bicycles to school. Bicycle helmets are required. Bicycle riders are expected to obey the traffic rules that apply to vehicles. The school assumes no responsibility for bicycles that are brought to school. Bicycles are not to be ridden on walkway areas while school staff is assigned to the building which is 7:00 am-4:30 pm. Parents who allow their children to ride a bicycle to school must complete a Release of Liability form, which is available in our office. |

Early Dismissal of a Student: At Mt. View we make every moment valuable. Students who arrive late or leave early disrupt the flow of the classroom for all students. We ask for your assistance in this matter. Please make every effort to arrange appointments on non-school days to allow your child to have every opportunity to be engaged in learning. We encourage you to make appointments on Wednesday afternoons when school is being dismissed at 12:21. Thank you for helping teach the valuable habit of being at school and being on time. 1. If a student needs to be dismissed early from school, they must bring a note from home signed by the parent. A phone call is also acceptable. 2. When the student's parent arrives at school, they must come to the office to sign the student out. 3. When reentering school the student must report directly to the office and notify the office staff that they have returned, then they may return to class. (This procedure only applies to students leaving school early and reentering school the same day. 4. Students who are absent from school for one or more days need to bring a written excuse explaining the reason for the absence. |

| Planned
Absences: It is very important for students to attend school
everyday. However, if you know of an absence ahead of time, please complete a pre-planned absence form. By completing this form ahead of time
it will allow classroom teachers sufficient time to prepare work to send
with the student. Forms are available from classroom teacher and/or at the
office. |

Student Management Plan: To help students learn how to handle
their own problems, the staff teaches each child to use the Mt. View 4-Step
Problem Solver. When someone is bothering you... 1. IGNORE and move away 2. ASK them to stop 3. WARN them to stop or you'll tell an adult 4. TELL an adult If you are bothering someone, it is your responsibility to SHOW RESPECT FOR OTHERS AND STOP WHEN ASKED |
