PBIS at Mountain View

• Mountain View Rocks- Be kind, Be engaged, Do your job, Show perseverance, Show ownership, Be an upstander
• Students are explicitly taught expected behavior in all settings across our school
• Students are rewarded for demonstrating expected behavior with Rocks (individual reward) and Mountains (whole class rewards)

MVE Discipline Philosophy:

Students will be given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes in a way that preserves the dignity of all students and adults. Our goal is for students to be active participants in their behavior management, and to understand that there are natural consequences (positive, negative, and neutral) for their own behaviors. Staff will provide students opportunities and guidance to create logical, real life solutions to raise self- esteem for future decision making.

The Mountain View experience includes:

• Standards-based instruction

• Specials classes: Art, Music, Physical Education and Computer Science
• Library Media Center with over 12,000 titles
• Genius Lab iPads and Chrome Books integrated into classroom instruction
• Literacy support
• Extensive after/before school club opportunities

• Exceptional special education programming

Who We Are

Mountain View is located on the western edge of the Adams 12 Five Star District in Broomfield, Colorado. It is a large elementary school of 600 students. The school is unique because it houses a center-based Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH) program for preschool through fifth graders. The D/HH program serves students in Adams County and part of Broomfield County. The D/HH program adds an additional 60+ special needs students to our school each year. Although some of these students are in self-contained classrooms for instructional support matched directly to their unique needs, many of our D/HH students are mainstreamed into traditional classrooms with sign language interpreters to support them.

In addition to the students in our D/HH program, 12% of our student population qualify as English Language Learners (ELL). Approximately 11% of our students are identified as Gifted and Talented (G/T), one of the largest percentages of any traditional elementary school in the district.
