Arrival and Dismissal Times
The school day is 7:55 a.m.–3 p.m. Side doors next to the parking lot open at 7:35 a.m. Buses leave at 3:07 p.m. Students who miss the bus must immediately arrange transportation home.
Students must be off school grounds, including Mountain View Elementary’s campus, by 3:10 p.m. unless participating in a school-supervised activity.
Student Drop-Off
The only drop-and-go area is the sidewalk in front of the tennis courts. Students should exit as soon as their vehicle has stopped safely along that sidewalk.
The parking lot is not a drop-and-go area. If you park, walk your student to the staff directing traffic so the student can cross safely. If no staff member is present, walk your student across the parking lot to the sidewalk in front of the school. Students may not cross the traffic line without adult supervision.
Before- and After-School Supervision
Supervision is not provided before 7:35 a.m. or after 3:10 p.m., except for school-sponsored activities. Students may not remain on CMS or Mountain View Elementary property outside those times without direct staff supervision or participation in an approved school activity.
Activities include interscholastic sports and games, school-sponsored clubs and events, and after-school help. Students may not stay after school to watch intramural games.
Riding the Bus
Bus transportation is a privilege. Students ride their assigned bus and board and exit at their designated stop. To ride another bus, present a parent’s note to the receptionist by noon on the day of use.
Follow the driver’s directions and assigned seating.
Remain seated while the bus is moving and keep all limbs inside.
Keep the bus clean. Do not throw anything from windows.
Follow school expectations and avoid behavior that distracts the driver.
The driver has authority to assign consequences, which may include loss of bus privileges. For transportation questions, call 719-234-1410.
Bikes Scooters Skateboards and Similar Devices
Walk personal transportation devices while entering or leaving school grounds. Riding on campus is not permitted at any time. Secure devices in the designated racks during the school day.
Improper use or failure to follow staff directions may result in confiscation, parent or guardian contact, and/or loss of the privilege to ride the device to and from school.
