Principal's Message

Hey Mighty Mountain Shadows Families,

October is almost here—leaves changing, sports in full swing, and Halloween right around the corner! I’ve always loved this month: baseball playoffs, football weekends, and the start of basketball and hockey. It’s a sports fan’s dream. I also love Halloween’s classic black-and-white monster movie vibes—think Godzilla and Dracula—and all the fun of costumes and trick-or-treating. Even better, Halloween falls on a Friday this year, so late-night candy runs can be followed by a little extra sleep.

Halloween Parade Details

• Date: Friday, October 31
• Parade start (in-school halls): 8:45 a.m.
• Outdoor viewing for families: around 8:50 a.m.
• After the parade: Students may change out of costumes and resume the school day
• Schedule note: It’s an early-release Friday
• Masks are allowed, but only during the parade
• No costume weapons of any kind are allowed…even lightsabers.  Keep them for your trick-or-treating that evening.

We warmly invite all parents and family members to come cheer on our spooky (and not-too-spooky) students!

If your student plans to wear a costume, please ensure it’s school-appropriate and easy to change out of after the parade. Thank you for your support—we can’t wait to celebrate together!

Cell Phone and Other Personal Electronics Policy

Students are allowed to bring cell phones, smart watches, and/or earbuds with them to school, but these devices must be kept in their backpack or turned into the teacher at the beginning of the school day for safe keeping. These devices should be turned off when arriving at school until the end of the school day. For the safety of our students, we ask that students not use this technology while at school. It is difficult to determine who students are interacting with using their cell phones and/or smart watches. Please talk to your child about securing these devices during the school day.

If any of the devices (phone, smart watch, earbuds, etc.) are found in the student’s possession:

1st Offense - Warning sent home to parents.

2nd Offense - Warning sent home to parents and the item will be confiscated. Item kept in the office. Student can pick up at the end of the day.

3rd+ Offense - Warning sent home to parents and the item will be confiscated. Item kept in the office. The parent will need to pick it up at the end of the day.

We understand there are times when you need to contact your child. We ask that you call the main office. 

Lunch Balance Information

We have a lot of outstanding lunch account balances. Please make sure to make a payment if your child has an outstanding balance. After the third notice, lunch account balances will be sent to a collection agency. Thank you for your support regarding this matter.

Please replenish your student’s breakfast/lunch account by the end of each month so that your student does not have an outstanding balance carried over. If your child’s balance goes above $25.00 and is not paid after several attempts by the school to collect the money owed, the school may turn the balance over to a collection agency. Please contact the school office if you have questions.

If you would like to apply for free/reduced breakfast/lunch you may apply in your Family Skyward account or get an application in the office.

Parking Lot Procedures for 2025 - 2026

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In preparation for buses coming to our school, we would like to share our parking lot procedures for the year. The current drop off/pick up lane right in front of the school will be designated for school buses only. The bus lane will be blocked by cones. Teachers on duty in the morning and afternoon will remove the cones for the buses to pass. After the buses pass, the teachers will put the cones back. Our current front row parking will be removed, and it will be used for Parent Drop Off/Pick Up Only (see below). Patron parking will be on the north side of the parking lot. Faculty and Staff parking will be located on the west side of the building as well as the east side of the building. The Faculty and Staff parking on the east side of the building will be fenced to prevent students from entering into the parking lot.

Our main priority is the safety of our students and that includes arriving at school and leaving school. We ask for your cooperation and support with these changes to our parking lot.
