We have a lot of talented students at Monte Vista and what better way to share those talents than by being part of Monte Vista’s talent show which will be held on Friday, April 12th! For more information and the permission slip, click on this link.

TK is coming to Monte Vista for the 2024-25 school year! If your child will turn 5 between September 2, 2024 and June 2, 2025, you can enroll them in TK for the 2024-25 school year. Enrollment will begin on February 20.

Starting in August, the kindergarten schedule will be extended and will be similar to 1st-3rd grades. The district Full Day Kindergarten Committee is currently working on details in regards to the new schedule/program and you can find more information about it using this link. Scroll down the agenda on the right and click on Section I, item # 3.

Our next School Site Council (SSC) meeting is Monday, January 22rd at 3pm. We will meet via Google Meets (https://meet.google.com/kan-zaon-ctr). All parents are welcome to attend our SSC meetings.

Let’s continue to be kind and respectful to one another:

• Please do not cut in front of cars that are in Monty Lane.

• When in Monty Lane and there is space in front of you, please pull forward at all times except for when it will result in blocking a driveway or street.

On January 9, 2024, CDPH updated the guidance for Covid-19. LACDPH is aligning with the state on these changes. Here are the following changes:

• A 5 day isolation period is no longer required.

• A person who tests positive for Covid-19 is required to isolate if they present with symptoms and/or have a fever.

• They may leave isolation and return to work/school as long as they are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and symptoms are mild (much improved). They will need to wear a well fitted mask through day 10. Day 0 would be the first day of symptoms.

• A person who tests positive and is symptom free will not need to isolate. They may return to work/school. They will need to wear a well fitted mask through day 10. Day 0 would be the test date.

• You can remove your mask sooner if you have two sequential negative tests at least one day apart.

Along with other illnesses like the flu or cold, we continue to advise our staff and students to stay home when they are not feeling well and return when they are fever free for 24 hours along with much improved symptoms.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a health advisory on December 8, 2023, to notify clinicians and the public about an outbreak of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) among people in the United States with recent travel to or residence in the city of Tecate, state of Baja California, Mexico.

Linked here are a variety of resources that share more information about RMSF, signs and symptoms, and prevention.
