Dear Parents/Guardians,

We wish to express our deepest thanks and gratitude to the Mount View School Council and Home and School Association for hosting our wonderful muffin mixer this morning.

Our school has been without Wi-Fi since yesterday morning and as such, teachers may not send out their class weekly messages. Should you need to reach your students’ teacher, please do email and they will respond at their earliest convenience. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
