Handbook

The Mountain View Community School Handbook has been prepared for the express purpose of helping all students, parents, and staff understand the rich traditions of Mountain View Community School.

The various policies, procedures, schedules, and descriptions contained in the Handbook, necessary for any group of people to work together harmoniously and efficiently, are derived from many sources, including not only Vermont state laws but also the philosophy and suggestions of the Board of Directors, administration, faculty, parents, and students. They comprise a living document that has evolved with the school and continues to change as necessity dictates. As such, they are not some kind of rigid "final word" but rather a current consensus regarding what works best for our community. It is indeed our effectiveness as a community that the Handbook is intended to structure; therefore, it is important that we remain vigilant regarding any needed changes and welcome all suggestions for further improvement.

NOTICE:
PARENTS ARE URGED TO READ THE ENTIRE HANDBOOK, INCLUDING THE SCHOOL'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WITH REGARD TO HARASSMENT, HAZING, BULLYING AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR. PARENTS ARE FURTHER URGED TO EXPLAIN TO THEIR CHILDREN WHAT BEHAVIOR IS EXPECTED. CHILDREN SHOULD BE INFORMED BY THEIR PARENTS WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT THEY ARE EVER MISTREATED.
