Congratulations August Boeger! The school’s Leaning In Initiative - Improving Outcomes for Socio-Economically Disadvantaged and Multi-Cultural Students Through Civic Education & Engagement Program was selected as a recipient of the 2026 Glenn W. Hoffmann Exemplary Program Award.  

This prestigious recognition is presented annually by the Santa Clara County School Boards Association (SCCSBA), honoring innovative programs that make an outstanding and measurable impact on student success.

We are proud to share that Dr. Anthony Oskar Alvarado, Principal of IJAVVE, has been selected as the 2026 ACSA (Association of California School Administrators) Region 8 Professor of Education of the Year.

For more than a year, Dr. Alvarado has been teaching and mentoring teacher candidates at San José State University while continuing his work as principal at IJAVVE. Through this work, he shares the real experiences of leading a TK–8 school while helping prepare future educators to enter the classroom.

At Barbie Game Day on March 21st, the San Jose Sharks declared Samantha Rocha as Teacher of the Month. She is an educator in Reading is Cool, a no-cost literacy program that helps NorCal classrooms spread the power of reading to elementary school students, funded by the Sharks Foundation. Participating students update a log that tracks how many minutes they read for, which are turned in on a monthly basis. The top reader gets a medal and certificate from the San Jose Sharks, and are featured on their website too.

Families and students who are new to Mount Pleasant Elementary School District can now begin the enrollment process with us. All grade levels are open for enrollment, including Preschool (students between 2 years, 9 months to 4 years), Transitional Kindergarten (students turning 4 years old by September 1), and Kindergarten (students turning 5 by September 1).

Early registration is encouraged, as it ensures that we can plan and communicate with you effectively.

Get started today!
