SNOW DAYS AND 2-HOUR DELAYS - Please be aware that in the case of snow days and 2-hour delays, Mountain View will follow Fayette County's schedule.  Sometimes there are technical delays with the TV and Radio stations, and our school's name does not get added to the closed and/or delayed schools list. Also, sometimes they list our school name as Mountain View Academy instead of Mountain View Christian School.  In either case, if Fayette County is closed or delayed due to weather conditions, we will be also.

ILLNESSES - Please keep in mind that if your child is running a temperature and/or vomiting, they are contagious and will not be permitted to stay in class.  This is for the protection of other students, as well as staff and faculty.  Please evaluate your child's condition before sending them to school.  Thank you for your help.

REMINDER TO PRE-SCHOOL PARENTS:  Please do not pull into the driveway area by the preschool doors when dropping your child off and/or picking them up.  This can be a safety hazard.  Please park on the upper parking lot and walk them down the sidewalk to the doors.  Thank you for your attention concerning this matter.
