Welcome back, we are very excited for the school year! We have been planning and preparing for all our students to return to ensure the best education for all. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and working together as a team! We will be working alongside our families to develop lasting relationships that will ensure success for our students.
I am happy to be part of the Mountain View Family as the Principal. This is my 24th year in education, where I have served as a teacher of many grade levels, an Instructional Coach, an Assistant Director of Math and Science, an Assistant Principal, and a Principal. I am an Arizona native and was raised in the west valley. I attended Arizona State University for my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and Grand Canyon University for my two Masters Degrees in Curriculum and Instruction and in Educational Leadership. I value family and love to spend time with my children and husband.
I am looking forward to the school year and all the greatness to come! This year is going to be a year of celebrations!!!

A Message from the Assistant Principal
Dear Mountain View Families and Community,
Welcome back to another exciting school year! It is an honor to serve the Mountain View Community and I look forward to working together to ensure the learning and development of all students.
The 2025-2026 school session will mark my 24th year in education, with the past 8 years in school administration. Having served in various capacities, including primary teacher, mentor teacher, and administrator. I wholeheartedly believe that ALL students can learn at high levels, and it is my goal to ensure that our children continue to receive a quality education in a safe nurturing environment every day. I am committed to working in partnership with our families, staff, and community to support our students in reaching their full potential.
I was born in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Arizona at a young age. I am a proud Sun Devil, having graduated with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education from Arizona State University and a Master's Degree in Education Administration from Grand Canyon University. I love spending quality time with my husband and family. In my spare time, I love kayaking, attending sporting events, and hosting family game nights.
I am looking forward to celebrating student successes and to witnessing all of the great things that we are going to accomplish this school year and beyond.
With Mountain View Pride,
Mrs. Norma Chavez, Assistant Principal
