At City View, we’re teaching more than academics—we’re building life skills that last a lifetime! From a handshake and eye contact to public speaking skills, our Mustangs are learning what it means to be respectful, confident, and productive citizens.
We’re not just building readers and leaders…we’re building world-changers!

We’re proud to introduce our Mustang Ambassadors THE HERD! This group of student leaders will help with community service projects, greet students and families, and promote leadership across our campus.
These young leaders are stepping up to show what it means to chase greatness at The View!

Every Friday, Mrs. Towry and Mrs. Seigler will lead our students through the iLead program by John Maxwell! This program is all about building leadership and values that empower our Mustangs to succeed in school and in life.

At City View Elementary, we believe you must have a child’s heart before you can reach their mind. Through Capturing Kids’ Hearts, our students build social contracts—their own standards for how they will treat others and carry themselves in the classroom.
I had the honor of signing my very first contract this week with a group of fantastic young men. Proud moment!

Mark your calendars to come join us! Forms will be coming home this week with more information. Can't wait to see you!

Every Friday at City View, our students get the gift of Character Education with Mrs. Graves! She’ll be joined by Mrs. Straight from Communities in Schools and Mrs. Salazar from Serenity House as they help our Mustangs learn values, life skills, and how to treat themselves and others with kindness and respect.
Building readers. Building leaders. Building character. That’s the Mustang way!

What a start to the new year, Mustangs!
The first 3 days of school were a HUGE success! From Meet the Teacher Night to Read Alouds, Math Fundamentals, Public Speaking Skills, Social Contracts, Building Leaders, and all the fun icebreakers, our hallways and classrooms have been full of energy and Mustang pride.
This didn’t just “feel” like the first week of school, it felt like we’ve been rolling together for weeks already. That’s a credit to our staff, families, and students putting in the work to do things the right way.
Remember, Best is the Standard. We’re not chasing perfect, we’re chasing GREAT. And I couldn’t be more proud of the way our Mustangs have started this year!
