Mountainside Elementary announced several upcoming school events and community initiatives in a report published October 15. The schedule includes a book fair, parent-teacher conferences, and a flu shot clinic scheduled for later this month.
Several activities are scheduled for October 15 and October 16. A book fair is taking place all day on both Oct. 15 and Oct. 16. Parent-teacher conferences are also scheduled for both days. For grades Pre-K through 5, elementary school PTCs involve an early release on Oct. 15, while there is no school for those same grades on Oct. 16.
Additional events scheduled for Oct. 15 include a school early out between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM. Additionally, a Boo to the Flu event will offer flu shots at Mountainside from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Looking further ahead, a hearing screening for Pre K to 2nd grade is scheduled for Oct. 19 in the conference room, and a 5th grade capital field trip is scheduled for Oct. 20 from 8:00 AM to 2:20 PM.
The school recently recognized Larissa Swasey as the Cougars’ Teacher of the Year. Swasey, described as a veteran educator, was chosen for the honor due to her decades of work with young students.
The school remains focused on its core values of student-focused learning, community, character, and excellence. These values support the goal of developing graduates who are connected, confident, and possess character and values.
