Principal's Message

Here's to an amazing 24-25 school year ahead! We welcome back all of our past families and our new families whom we can't wait to weave into the blue jay family nest!

We would first like to share with our Monte Vista community the 24-25 MPUSD theme:

‘Incite Excellence. Inspire Change.’

Our Superintendent echoes our sentiments when sharing that, "We (MPUSD...and Monte Vista TK-8) are committed to excellence and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and adaptability. Through our collective actions we seek to inspire positive changes for our students, families, teachers, staff, and community. The MPUSD team is fully prepared to engage students with outstanding teaching and learning, equipping them with the necessary tools and strategies to succeed and achieve their aspirations."

We would like to conclude with some sentiments that were recently shared with our first promoting 8th grade class and their families in May 2024, which captures our decade-long journey and gratitude to become the school we are today and still aspire and inspire to be as we make progress towards excellence.

What an amazing journey it has been for our blue jay scholars...This school has wonderfully evolved over the last nine years... Our school site has undergone an ongoing multi-stakeholder process for revising our school model. Parents, school and district level staff, students, and community members have helped us recognize and build upon the many components that made Monte Vista what it is while also inspiring us to expand, enrich, and aspire to even greater heights. All of you here embody and have contributed to that journey of expanding to greater heights and having a model that is nothing short of a beautiful mosaic or tapestry of rich works and voices. Our school represents a diverse community as well as the unique fusion of STEAM and Whole Child models with student inquiry-based learning and real world connections at the heart of it. Our pillars of community connection, discovery learning, rigorous engagement, and supportive culture continue to grow, evolve, and polish, and it is thanks to all of your efforts and dedication throughout the years that we have been able to build such a model. There is nothing I want more than for all of your children to soar to greater heights and carry with them this model as it is now a part of their identity to make a productive and positive, impactful difference in their lives and in the lives of others in high school and beyond. The sky is not your limit. There are no limits to what we as blue jays can achieve. A blue jay can always soar higher!

Jay jay, chirp chirp to the 24'-25' school year!
