Message from our PTSA President 

Hi Monta Vista!
 
I hope this message finds you all safe, healthy, and happy.  2020 has certainly been a challenging year, but I am encouraged by the resiliency of our Students and the dedication of our Teachers.  We have made it through the first weeks of school and dealt with issues such as tech glitches, schedule confusion, and trying to find a quiet place in the house.  We still have more work ahead of us though and MVPTSA is continuing to work to find ways to support our Parents, Students, and Teachers.  Thank you to everyone for hanging in there.
 
This year, MVPTSA created a Student Representative Committee with students from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes.  The committee has already been instrumental in helping to improve remote learning by discussing their in-class experiences and making constructive recommendations.  In addition to reporting on student life, the committee will also work with Board members on other PTSA programs.  Some of the things the PTSA is currently working on are below:
  • Virtual Job Shadow Interview Library 
  • Community Education webinars on topics such as Happiness, Organization, and more
  • MVHS Art Contest

We’ll be sending information about these programs and others in the coming weeks.

Until then, if you have not already joined, please do take a moment to join PTSAat MontaVistaPTSA.org. If you are already an MVPTSA Member, thank you for your support!

Best,
Kathy Jacques
MVPTSA President
