"My son is new to Monte Verde Elementary School this year. We love this school!!!! Ms. Mirt, the principal, has been so helpful and kind since I met her in June 2010. I have seen and experienced first hand that she is a caring individual who cares about the her students, the parents, the staff and of course the faculty. Ms. Mirt is very involved at Monte Verde and often can be seen outside of her office chatting with parents, students and participating in school events such as the walk-a-thon, getting dunked in the dunk tank and attending PTA meetings. She has welcomed our family to Monte Verde and remembers who we are which is great. Ms. Mirt is very proud of her school and exudes school spirit. My son is a first grader in Ms. Meyers class. Thus far, my son is doing great in school and is able to demonstrate what he is learning in class. He receives a good amount of homework each week which reinforces all the concepts he is learning in class. He gets spelling tests every Friday which is great. Monte Verde is a California Distinguished School and plans to retain that title and honor by holding the students to high standards. The veteran parents at Monte Verde are fabulous! They have also been very welcoming and are involved in the PTA and school events. It was great to see many of them at the Walk-A-Thon event, especially the familiar faces from PTA. It is a great feeling to know that Monte Verde parents are also just as invested in the success of the children as Ms. Mirt, the teachers and the staff. We haven't been at Monte Verde very long, but I can honestly say that I am proud to be Monte Verde parent! We are truly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community. Go Eagles!!!!"

"This school has great teachers and very caring, involved parents."

"I have a 3rd grader and she has been at the school since grade K. We love all the activities and parent involvement. Ms Mirt is always available to hear out concerns and is very active in the school day with student to student issues. Its good to know they have a principal they can go to that will get to the bottom of any issues. My daughter LOVES everything about her school including the office staff, lunch staff, janitor, yard duty staff, parent volunteers and whoever else is part of the awesome MV team. All four teachers she has had have all been WONDERFUL and caring to her needs on all levels. They take time to answer all questions I have about my child. Keep up the GREAT WORK MV *I think it is awesome that the parents are so dedicated that the library is ran by VOLUNTEERS!"
