Parents As Partners Parents at Mount View Middle School who are interested in becoming more involved with their child's middle school experience are invited to join a sub-committee of the PTA: Parents as Partners The intent of "Parents as Partners" is to form a group of committed parents who will collaborate with teachers and staff about how we can help our children learn and develop in ways that help them achieve their maximum potential. The ultimate goal is to create opportunities for parents to form co-operative relationships with the staff, teachers, and families at MVMS establish a collaborative school environment, and utilize the resources each of us brings to enhance educational and social opportunities for all students at Mount View Middle School. Three groups exist within "Parents as Partners", any of which you are invited to join. Below is the contact information for each of those groups:
