Mountain View Elementary School
April/May 2026 Newsletter
Spring is here! It has been a wonderful return from our spring break, and we've had so many exciting events taking place. Our school raised over $5000 through our Jump Rope for Heart fundraising. All proceeds go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Many thanks to Ms. Paisley for organizing! Our basketball teams have completed a fun and successful season. Thanks to Ms. Marquis, Ms. Chelsom, Mr. Webb, Ms. Gueulette and Ms. Curry for all of the coaching and support. Our grade 5,6 and 7 classes participated in the district Trades Trailer program, and were framing walls and learning how to do basic plumbing and electrical work.
We had a wonderful Earth Day Assembly on April 22nd and it made the news! Thank you to Ms. Keenleyside and Ms. Stussi for all of their hard work.
Progress reports were emailed home before the break. If you did not receive your child's progress report and have checked spam/junk inboxes, please contact our office and we will send it to you. Teachers take a lot of time and consideration when preparing these reports, so please take time to read them and talk to your child about their progress. If there are questions about your child's progress, please reach out to their teacher to have those addressed.
We have had many reports of students not behaving in a safe and respectful way at bus stops. Please remind your child that it is expected that they behave in a way that is safe while waiting for the bus. When dropped off by the bus, students need to carefully cross the street. As well, some of our neighbours are reporting that some students are vandalizing private property while waiting for the bus. Such behaviour may result in the bus stop having to move to another area where this type of behaviour is less likely.
As a reminder, it is that time of year where the Student Learning Survey takes place for our grade 4 and 7 students. If you have children in grades 10, 11 and/or 12 they will also be taking part in this. This survey provides us with critical feedback about how we are operating as a school, and the data generated from ultimately helps to guide our school plan. There is a parent version of the survey that we would greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete. Regardless of what grade your child is in, you are able to respond to the survey by following this link: https://www.awinfosys.com/SurveyFull1/central/main/access_Parent.asp
On a personal note, I shared the news with our staff today that I will be moving to Quarterway Elementary school next school year. This has been a great school community to be a part of and I will forever cherish my time here. Lisa Robinson will take on principal duties and Lisa Chew will continue in the vice principal role in September of 2026.
Finally, as we are looking at our enrollment numbers for next year, please let us know as soon as possible if your family is moving or if your child is enrolling in another school or program.
