Hello Spartans:

Happy National Counseling Week!

This week, we celebrate National Counseling Week. Here are our wonderful counselors, and I say it’s not too late to send your counselor a note of thanks! 

Lunar New Year’s Celebration

Celebrating the Central Cost Section (CCS) Scholastic Team Award Winners!

Congratulations to the Science Olympiad!

Against 66 of the top teams from across the country, Black team won 3rd place overall with 11 medals. Gold team delivered a strong performance as well, placing 19th overall.

Another Scholastic Art Competition Winner!

Congratulations to Jane Liou for winning a Gold Key Award for the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition with her artwork, "Extension of the Human," and being selected as an artist in the YoungArts competition! 

Now onto a less pleasant topic. We received several complaints and feedback from our neighbors that our students are leaving trash. It seems that we receive at least one phone call a day! Recently, we also received an email from the Children’s Corner Preschool, stating that our students are driving recklessly around the little people and their parents who attend that school. They have asked me to send a reminder to our students not to park in their parking spaces. 

Having to send this message to our community again like this makes me so incredibly sad as I know that we have so many amazing and kind students who are so kind and considerate. I ask all of you, including parent drivers, to be careful around school and be respectful to our neighbors.

Thank you,

Kip Glazer, Ed.D.

Principal

Walk & Wheel:  Friday, February 13 Walk, bike, or bus to school next Friday morning, February 13!  The Carbon Free Commute and Green Teams will be out greeting students who leave the car at home and 8 lucky students will win a gift certificate generously donated by Mr Sun Tea.   Mindful Driving Challenge – February See It to Avoid It Your mindful driving challenge for February is to check out your car’s front blind zone. Big cars feel safe to many of us, especially when we sit up higher in the driver’s seat so we can “see more.”  But think about what that big hood hides!  There’s a blind zone right in front of your car and the bigger your car, the bigger the blind zone.  In one demonstration, 13 preschoolers sat on the ground in a line, completely invisible to the driver of a big SUV.  This month we challenge you to take a minute on the weekend to check out your own car.  Have your child(ren) stand next to your front bumper and kneel down like they’re picking up a dropped cell phone.  Can you see them while you sit naturally in the driver’s seat?  If not, ask them to crawl forward away from the bumper until you can see them. Then step outside and see how far away they are.  That’s your front blind spot that you need to be aware of when you drive up to a crosswalk.   These Challenges are brought to you by MVHS and the Mountain View Safe Routes to School Program. Check out Mountain View’s Back to School page for tips and resources on getting to school safely. Counseling 11th Grade Course Selection Upcoming Events
