Cat Tracks Happy Holidays! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and are looking forward to
spending more family time as the Christmas holiday approaches. There are many activities for
students and parents at Mt. Vista during the month of December.
Our annual Science Fair will be on December 3rd. The viewing of projects begins at 5:00 in the
gym and then there will be a BBQ dinner (hotdogs or hamburgers) and the awarding of the prizes
at 6:00 pm in the cafeteria. There is no charge for student meals and adults can purchase a meal
for $2.50. A big thank you to Mrs. Verdean Smith for doing such a great job planning and coor-
dinating the Science Fair.
Basketball season is here. The first boy’s exhibition game was played on November 24th. Please
see that attached schedule of games for both boys and girls. The cheerleaders will be at all the
home games to pump up that Cougar Spirit.
We are so excited that music has returned to Mt. Vista. The Christmas program, under the lead-
ership of Miss Kaitlyn Miller, will be on December 17th. The kindergarten through third grade
chorus will perform at 9:00 am in the cafeteria. The fourth through eighth grades will perform at
6:30 pm in the cafeteria. The fourth graders will play recorders, the fifth graders will play hand
bells, and the orchestra, which includes students from fourth through eighth grades, will perform.
The pre-school will present their Christmas program on December 16th at 9:00 am in the gym.
The last day for the Connections tutoring program before the break will be December 10th. Con-
nections will resume January 4th at 5:30 pm in the library.
There will be early release on December 18th. Kindergarten through sixth grades will be released
at 12:45 and seventh and eighth grade students will be released at 1:45.
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season.

BULLETIN
PULL FOR THE HOUSE
Every day, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona provides a
“Home Away from Home” for families of children facing serious illness and injury.
Our recycling program serves as a significant fundraising effort, enabling us to
fulfill our mission of serving families in need.
We collect and recycle aluminum can tabs, using the funds raised to support the op-
erations of our House.
Drop off your tabs at Mountain Vista School on 2618 W. El Paseo, Oracle AZ,
Monday through Friday between 7:30am-4:00pm. We ask that you bring only the
tabs, as we are unable to accept the full cans due to storage and sanitary
considerations.
Remember, Every Tab Counts!
HOME CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES
The control of communicable (catching) disease during the school year is a difficult problem and an important responsibility. The first responsibility must fall upon the home because parents know the normal appearance of their children and should be the first to detect signs of ill-ness. Frequent hand washing is the best prevention!
The following rules will help control communicable diseas-
es in the community.
1. Your child should remain at home if exhibiting any signs of ill-ness. 2. When questioning illness, your family physician is the ap-propriate person to contact to determine whether or not your child should be in school.
2. Some signs of illness:
Fever
Diarrhea
Severe Sore Throat
Draining Wound
Vomiting
All students with a fever need to remain at home until they are fever free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing
medication (Tylenol, Ibuprofen etc).

BUS PASSES AND YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY
A reminder to parents, students are required to
bring a note to the office if they need a bus pass.
For your child’s safety, phone calls will not be
accepted.
It is extremely difficult and disrupting to the
classroom when parents call with last minute
changes. Please send a note with your child if
he/she has any change in their regular drop off.
CHILD PICK UP
Parents, if you need to pick up your child before
the end of the day you always need to sign them
out in the office. After you have signed them
out one of the ladies in the office will call the
classroom and request the child be sent to the
office. This is for the safety of the child.
CHILD FIND
Child Find is a process to “find” children
who may have a delay in development or a
disability. Oracle School District can help
children with disabilities from birth
through 21 years of age. We provide spe-
cial education services for eligible chil-
dren. If you have concerns about your
child’s development or progress in school,
contact the Oracle School District Special
Education Department @ 896-3052

articles of clothing in the lost and found. Nu-
merous jackets, sweaters, shirts, etc. have been
