Student Recognition
Monthly NEU Rally’s
On the last Friday of the month we come together as a school to promote College/University awareness. We celebrate each classroom’s university through chants and college gear. We acknowledge the monthly valedictorians, character of the month, and reader of the month.
Valedictorian
Each grade level selects a high achieving student as the Valedictorian for the month. Students are presented to the school during our NEU rallys. The principal reads the excerpt submitted by the students’ grade level teachers as they come to receive their diploma, a graduate cord, and a school spirit backpack.
Each month, the AVID Scholar Award recognizes students who demonstrate the qualities of a successful AVID student. Students are selected based on their academic effort, organization, responsibility, positive attitude, participation, and commitment to their education. Teachers nominate students who consistently model these qualities and demonstrate growth and determination. Award recipients are celebrated each month for being outstanding examples of AVID scholars.
Character Recognition
Through character education we promote anti-bullying and a positive/safe learning environment. Student council discusses and promotes the character trait of the month with students.
3R Parties
Being Respectul, Responsible, and Ready to Learn are the 3R qualities at Monte Vista. Students who demonstrate these qualities are celebrated twice a month with extra recess.
Attendance Parties
Having two or less tardies and absences for the month will be celebrated with an end of month party with agmes and prizes
