Hello MVP Families... we have a driver out for tomorrow. We will still run all routes, but Wild Burro students will be released an hour early tomorrow, 4/5/24 at 1:30pm to accommodate this issue. If you need to have your child transported by bus, please make any arrangements for an hour earlier drop-off time. If you prefer to have your child stay till the regular end of school and they usually ride the Wild Burro bus, please have other transportation arrangements for your student.

Good Morning MVP Families... please note that if your child takes the Wild Burro bus in the afternoon, there will be NO coverage today. The morning route will run as scheduled. Please find an alternate means to get your child home today. Tomorrow SHOULD run normally. Thank you for your patience. - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director
Kindergarteners had a "Royal Tea Party" to conclude our study of Kings and Queens. In our study we learned about the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a royal family, as well as stories like King Midas and the Golden Touch, Cinderella, Snow White, and The Princess and the Pea. #Fairytales #mountainviewprep #Cutestkinders #RoyalTea

COCSD and Mingus Mountain Camp and Retreat Center joined forces to facilitate an enriching experience for our 7th/8th grade and 5th/6th grade students from four schools, guiding them towards "Finding the YETI" (You Belong, Everyone Matters, Tenacious Courage, Inclusion for All). This invaluable opportunity, provided at no cost, left an indelible mark on our students, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Over two nights at Mingus Mountain, our students forged connections with peers from across the district, embarked on thrilling mountain adventures, and discovered the incredible qualities within themselves.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Mingus Mountain and Mr. King, whose visionary dream brought children into the embrace of nature. We are also deeply grateful to the families who entrusted their children to support our inaugural Winter Camp at Mingus Mountain!
