Parents
At Mountain View Elementary, we value open communication between staff and families. Parents and guardians are invited to join us in creating a positive learning environment for their student. If you have a question or concern, please talk with your student's teacher or contact the school office.
Student Parent Handbook
This handbook is intended as a method of communicating to students and families regarding general school district information, rules, and procedures.
Regular attendance is critical to the success of your student. We ask that parents and guardians help their student(s) attend school regularly so that they can build a strong educational foundation and develop skills necessary to become a contributing member in our community.
Absences
Repeated absences and tardies are reported to the LBL ESD attendance officer. Any student absence longer than 10 school days requires that the school withdraw that student from school, and the information is reported to the state.
Excusing an Absence
- If you are making transportation changes, please call the main office before 2 pm (1:00 pm on Friday)
- Parents/guardians are asked to call the Mountain View Elementary attendance line at 541-766-4761 or email mt.view.attendance@corvallis.k12.or.us
- Parent/guardians can also leave a note at the main office prior to the day of the absence
- When excusing your student’s absence, please include:
- your name and relationship to the student
- student’s full name
- teacher’s name
- date and time of the absence
- reason for the absence
- phone number where you can be reached
Planned Absences
If you plan to have your student absent from school outside of regularly scheduled school year vacations/days off, please make arrangements with the school’s main office at least two days prior to when the absence begins.
The main office must be notified if your student will be picked up from school by anyone other than their parent or guardian, or a person on the emergency contact list.
If you are picking up your student early from school, please call before you arrive at the school.
We encourage you to stay up to date with our school news. Information and reminders are sent to parents/guardians via ParentSquare. If you are not receiving emails from us, contact the main office. Resource links for emergency, safety, and inclement weather notifications can be found below.
There are several volunteer opportunities offered throughout the academic year; some are ongoing commitments while others are one-time only events. Your participation is welcomed and appreciated! Volunteer opportunities can be found at the SignUp link here.
All volunteers must pass a criminal background check before they can volunteer. Contact the main office if you have any questions. Please click the button below to complete our online volunteer application and background check.
Student success and growth is strongly linked to student health. We encourage healthy behaviors and provide health support services to students. If you have concerns about your student’s health and well-being, please contact the main office to learn about local resources.
We are committed to maintaining a healthy school environment. Students should be up to date on immunizations and we ask that students stay home if they are ill. Parents/guardians are required to complete the required forms for any medication that a student takes at school.

Corvallis School District Food & Nutrition Services is committed to providing healthy meals for all students. Our district meal program provides breakfast and lunch each school day. All students qualify for a free complete “reimbursable” breakfast and lunch, regardless of income. Families do not need to fill out free and reduced lunch applications for these benefits.
School Menus
Corvallis menus are created on a four-week rotation that remains fairly consistent for the entire school year. All Corvallis schools offer full salad bars to their students in an effort to encourage them to eat more fruits and vegetables, and also as a vegetarian lunch option.
- School Menus (for print)
- Mountain View Online Menu (includes nutritional information)
- Requesting Meal Modifications
Meal Account
Meal account payments can be made at the school office, cafeteria or online using the web-based school food management system, LINQ Solutions.
The LINQ license covers public schools in Corvallis.
- All families will need to type “Corvallis School District (Oregon)” in the district box when using the program.

It is the responsibility of the entire school community to foster a safe environment which promotes positive relationships that value intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development for everyone. Our staff are trained and prepared to educate students to be responsible for school safety.
Emergency Situations
In the event of an emergency, staff are trained to follow a standard response protocol for a variety of situations. All schools are required to perform safety drills each month. Please make sure that your student’s emergency contact information is updated each year.

- Inclement Weather
- Safety Drills and Procedures

Reporting a Safety Concern
Our goal is to maintain a safe environment that fosters student learning. Policies are in place to help us respond to and correct disruptive or dangerous behaviors. If you have concerns about your student, please contact the main office.
Report a Bias Incident
A bias incident is a person’s hostile expression toward another person, relating to the other person’s perceived race, color, religion, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin. Bias incidents may include derogatory language or behavior. Reporting bias and symbols of hate allows school staff to formally address Bias Incidents and provides important information about bias and hate so that we can improve the culture of our district and school communities.

The PTA provides educational enrichment opportunities, social events, and financial support for educational programs and materials. All Mt. View parents and guardians are welcome to join!
