New textbooks are adopted in each subject every seven years. Last year, the district selected language arts materials, which our site purchased for instruction. Every effort is made to provide students with the latest in instructional equipment and technology. On-going purchases of computers and printers continue. Internet access is available in the computer lab and all classrooms have computers.
All classrooms are Internet accessible.
Student Achievement Assessment is in place at Monte Vista in a variety of formats. The first reporting period includes a Progress Report given to the parents during a conference with their child's teacher. A second Progress Report is sent home mid-year, and the final Progress Report is sent home at the end of the school year. Comprehensive testing is in place for students at Monte Vista. In addition, our bilingual students in grades 2-5 take the SABE in Spanish and our 5th graders take the California Physical Fitness Testing.
