Castro Toy Drive
Each year, for the past many years, Mountain View Academy has been hosting a Christmas Party for the first grade students at our neighboring school, Castro Elementary. With all the festive decorations around campus, we would normally welcome the children with hot breakfast (eggs, pancakes, hash browns, fresh fruit, juice and milk) prepared by our staff. MVA students would also bring wrapped toys for each of the first graders. Santa Claus would then have a special appearance, and the children would take photos with him.
A Tradition of Giving
Due to COVID-19, the elementary students are not allowed to go on any field trips, so they will not be visiting MVA. Because the students cannot be here, we will deliver the presents and packaged snacks to them.
Each MVA student is to bring a TOY ($10-$15), already sanitized, wrapped and labeled as "for a girl or for a boy". If you are a boy, buy a toy for a boy, and if you are a girl, buy a toy for a girl. During Thanksgiving break, please remember to purchase a gift for the Castro Elementary students.
MVA students may drop off presents at the MVA office during business hours, no later than Wednesday, December 15. SA will deliver them to Castro school on Thursday, December 16.

After Thanksgiving break, there will only be two weeks and two days remaining for the regular school session before final exams. To avoid any make-up exams, please do not arrange any time off or appointments during the scheduled finals. You may also want to make sure that your student account is up to date. For any financial questions or concerns, please arrange a meeting with the Assistant Business Manager, Mr. Orson Chung. He is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

2021-2022 Student Handbook
Mr. Andres went over the Student Handbook with all the students, but more thorough reading and understanding of the handbook policy could minimize the violation incidents such as dress code violations.
We encourage the parents to review the handbook with their student/s.
Be advised that each violation with or without demerit points is recorded in Facts. Accumulated demerit points affect students' citizenship grades.
