Terra Bella Bikeway Feasibility Study - May 20, morning drop-off
On May 20, 2025 at drop off time, you may see some staff members from the City of Mountain View at our entrances. The City of Mountain View is conducting the Terra Bella Bikeway Feasibility Study on Terra Bella Avenue from Middlefield Rd to San Leandro Ave. This study will assess the feasibility for adding an on-street bikeway along Terra Bella Avenue. The study is in the early phase of the planning process and would benefit greatly with input from the school community before the school year ends. If you are approached by someone on May 20, 2025 with a survey, they are from the City of Mountain View!

Important Notice RE: Items dropped off during school hours.
One of our core values at Theuerkauf is Responsibility. There has been a large increase in items forgotten and dropped off items during the day. Sometimes it is challenging to get items to students in a timely manner and we want to minimize interruptions of lessons during class time so all students can stay focused on their education.
Please support your child at home by going through a quick checklist before leaving: Warm jacket, hat or gloves if needed, lunch box, backpack, instrument, homework, etc.
Thank you for supporting our core value of Responsibility and minimizing classroom interruptions.
If you do need to drop off a forgotten item please label it with the following so there is no confusion or mix ups. Please note that the office staff will do their best to get it to the students in a timely manner:
-
Student name
-
Grade
-
Teacher and Room #
Library News
Theuerkauf library will close on May 16, 2023 to allow for end-of-year processes. Please help your student find all of their library books and return them in a timely manner. If books have been lost or damaged, please contact Mrs. Baikie at [email protected]or stop by the library. Options to replace lost/damaged books are:
(1) Replace the book. The book can be used–it does not have to be new.
(2) Replace the book with another title. Books from Little Free Libraries that are in good condition are a great way to replace one title with a different title.
(3) Work with Mrs. Baikie to find a solution.
The Mountain View Public Library has their Summer Reading webpage up for students to register. There is a Summer Reading Kick-Off on Monday, June 9th from 6:30-7:30 pm. Stop into the Mountain View Public Library to learn more about the programs offered for families and sign up for a free library card. You can get Free & Discounted Museum Passes, California State Parks Passes, and more. The services at our Mountain View Public Library are excellent–there’s even a Seed Library!
