Mountain View High School

Funded by the PTSA, Spartans PAUSE is an ongoing collaboration among the student ambassadors, staff, advisors, and community volunteers. It strives to create a positive and welcoming culture on campus focused on wellness so that students may feel connected and supported, and learn to develop life skills that will serve them beyond the school years, including practicing self-care, balancing work and play, creating healthy relationships, and strengthening their sense of connection, belonging, and community involvement.

 

On a select Friday each month during the school year, students are greeted in the morning with healthy snacks, and a few activities are offered during lunch. The PAUSE team tries to choose inclusive activities in which all students may participate. Some past examples include:

 

 

 

• If you would like to receive periodic updates, be sure to log into your account on ParentSquare.com and join the Spartans PAUSE Wellness Program group. 
• Designed by MVHS counselors, the Virtual Calming Room is here to help you with different strategies and tools for managing your emotions.    
• If you'd like to take a more active role, volunteers are needed to support the program on monthly PAUSE days throughout the year. Please reach out to us!
• In addition, the MVHS “PAWs" certified therapy dogs and their owners help spread joy during the school year. Let us know if you have a gentle dog you'd like to certify as a therapy pet!
