🍎🏆 Celebrating MVSD’s 2026–27 Teacher of the Year!

Today, we proudly celebrated Jim Morentin of Parkview School, Mountain View School District’s 2026–27 Teacher of the Year, as he was recognized at the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s annual Teachers of the Year Awards Luncheon! 👏💙

Mr. Morentin has dedicated an incredible 36 years to education and currently teaches 7th- and 8th-grade mathematics at Parkview. Even after more than three decades in the classroom, he says he still finds “immense joy in teaching” and treasures the opportunity to connect with his students each day.

His teaching philosophy is rooted in kindness, patience and compassion — qualities he believes help educators truly reach their students. That commitment to building relationships while helping students grow is a wonderful reflection of what it means to Inspire Each Student to Succeed Every Day.

Today’s LACOE celebration brought together district Teachers of the Year from across Los Angeles County to recognize excellence and exemplary professionalism in public education. 🍎✨

Congratulations, Mr. Morentin! Thank you for your many years of service to Mountain View students and for continuing to bring such heart to the classroom. We are proud to have you representing Team Mt. View! 💙

🏔️💙 Celebrating Our 2026 Mountaineer Award Recipient!

Shortly before the start of the 2026-27 school year, Mountain View School District was proud to present Judge Alma D. Puente with the Mountaineer Award, the District’s highest honor, in recognition of her extraordinary service to our students, families and community.

Judge Puente’s commitment to expanding access to immigration legal services through our partnership with the Mexican American Bar Association (MABA) has made a meaningful difference for families throughout Mountain View. Her leadership and dedication reflect the very best of what it means to serve a community.

We’re also excited to see Judge Puente’s recognition featured by Mid Valley News! 📰

☕🍳 Last week, before the first bell rang, Team Mt. View came together to kick off the 2026–27 school year! 💙✨

On Tuesday, August 11, MVSD employees gathered for our annual Breakfast Kick Off — a morning to reconnect, celebrate our team and begin the year united around our theme, Together We Belong.

We are especially grateful to the generous supporters who helped fund this employee appreciation event. Their support helped us welcome our staff back in a meaningful way and remind the people who serve our students and families every day just how much they are valued. 💙

And, of course, a great breakfast needs great food and coffee! ☕🍳 A special thank you to Guadalajara Xpress, led by owner and proud MVSD alumnus Marco Hernandez, for serving up a delicious breakfast for Team Mt. View, and to FFRUGAL Coffee for helping us start the morning with a much-needed caffeine boost!

Show some love to the local businesses that helped make our morning special:

As we settle into the new school year, we’re grateful for everyone who helped make this special morning possible — and for all of Team Mt. View, whose energy, heart and dedication make our schools such special places to learn and grow.

Here’s to a great 2026–27 school year! 🎉
