The Bearcat is an open forum created for and by students of San Mateo High School. The staff of The Bearcat seeks to recognize individuals, events, and ideas and bring news to the Monta Vista community in a manner that is professional, unbiased, and thorough in order to effectively serve our readers. We strive to report accurately and will  correct any significant error. If you believe such an error has been made, please contact us through our feedback form. Letters to the editor of any length should be submitted via e-mail or through our “write a letter to the editor” page. They become the sole property of The Bearcat and can be edited for length, clarity, or accuracy. Letters cannot be returned and will be published at The Bearcat’s discretion. The Bearcat also reserves the right to reject advertising due to space limitations or decision of the Editorial Board that content of the advertisement conflicts with the mission of the publication.
