Today we celebrated the promotion of our incredible Crittenden 8th-graders as they took their final steps as middle school students toward their high school journey! 🎓💙💛🐾

The ceremony was filled with joy and pride as students reflected on the experiences, friendships, and accomplishments that have shaped their time at Crittenden. From the classroom to the stage, the field, the court, and beyond, this class has demonstrated determination, leadership, and Panther pride.

Congratulations, Panthers! We are proud of who you are, all you have accomplished, and all that you will achieve in the years ahead. Keep learning, keep leading, and keep reaching for your goals.

Mountain View Community,
Over the past several months, we’ve heard from community members about safety concerns involving e-bike, motorized scooter, and bicycle riders in Mountain View. Our top priority is keeping everyone safe — whether you’re on two wheels, four, or on foot.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing important information about e-bike safety, speed limits, equipment requirements, and road rules. Our goal is to help riders and their families understand how to stay safe and comply with the law.

Our department, which includes Patrol Officers and the School Resource Officer, will continue to discuss safe riding habits and the requirements for commuting around town with students, staff, and parents.

Education and awareness come first, because safety starts with understanding. Working together, we can ensure our roads are safe for everyone.

The Class of 2026 celebrated at Panther-Palooza, the eighth grade dance, on May 29. True to the festival theme, our kiddos danced, made crafts, glammed up and played lawn games. The food was delicious and the vibe was positive!

A huge thank you to the Crittenden PTA for planning and hosting the evening! The kids loved it!

What does a year of hard work, dedication, growth and community look like in numbers? It looks like this!

The success of a school district takes teachers who go above and beyond, families who stay engaged, staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes and a community that believes in the power of public education.

The milestones and recognitions you'll see in this video are a direct reflection of the collective effort that defines who we are as a district. We're honored to share these wins with you!

When Ms. Lopes' Art History class at Crittenden was handed a well-worn (but still functional) cart and asked to give it some fresh paint, one Panther had a vision—and recruited two classmates to help bring it to life.

Working together after their regular classwork, this talented trio produced a beautiful work of art, inspired by Monet's iconic Water Lilies.

The cart is now in perfect shape to welcome back the ELA novels returning from classrooms across Crittenden!

The Board of Trustees was happy to recognize teacher Shaye Dillon and the students of Crittenden Middle School’s Mock Trial Team at the meeting this evening. 💙 💛 🐈‍⬛

In its very first season, this remarkable team exceeded all expectations, advancing to the California Mock Trial Junior Division Finals at UCLA—a testament to the students’ hard work, dedication, and teamwork. At UCLA, they won a verdict in round one and three individual awards—two Outstanding Witnesses, and one for Outstanding Defense Attorney.

We are delighted to welcome them this evening and celebrate their success.
