Dear Parents/Guardians,

It's hard to believe that I'm writing our final weekly message of the school year! This past year has been truly incredible, filled with memorable moments of teaching and learning. Together, we have made a significant and positive impact on the lives of each and every one of our students.

Thank you to everyone who came out and volunteered for our Activity Day on the afternoon of June 22^nd. Our students love spending this time outside and participating in the much-anticipated fun events. A big thank you to Ms. Burger for organizing this event for our students and a big thank you to our parent volunteers. Without your support, a day like this would not be possible.

Staffing Updates:

Ms. Lemieux has accepted the Learning Leader position for the grade 1/2 team at Riverside School. We congratulate her on this new opportunity and wish her all the best in her career. The Mount View School family will truly miss her, but we look forward to her occasional visits to our school.

We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Gale to the MVS team as our new LEAD teacher. With her wealth of experience in teaching and learning, we know she will be a valuable addition to our community. Welcome, Ms. Gale!

Joining our team as a grade 5/6 teacher is Ms. Bagshaw, who brings experience as a Resource and Division 2 teacher. We are confident that she will be an incredible asset to our team. Welcome, Ms. Bagshaw!

We are delighted to have Ms. Baker back on our team as the continuous teacher for Kindergarten and Music. We are grateful for her dedication to our Music program and excited about the positive impact she will have on our kindergarten students through her strong instructional practices.

Next year, Ms. Fournier will serve as our intervention teacher, providing support for Numeracy and Literacy to more students during intervention times. We are excited about the increased access to intervention support for our students.

Ms. Mascha will be leaving MVS and moving to a new school as an Educational Assistant (EA). We will truly miss her presence at MVS and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Lastly, we are pleased to announce that Ms. Tracey will be transitioning into the part-time EA position at MVS for the upcoming year.

Class configuration for next year

There will be some changes to the class structure at Mount View in the upcoming school year. This year, we transitioned to straight-grade classrooms to give our teachers an opportunity to become acquainted with the new curriculum. We believe that we are in a good place to return to combined grade classrooms for the next school year. We know that combined grades allow for equity amongst our classrooms in terms of student needs and supports, teacher partnerships and more opportunities for enrichment. We are confident this shift will benefit our students and contribute to their educational experience. We will share the class configuration in August once we reach close to our final enrollment numbers.

Important upcoming dates: Please know that our school calendar is also updated on the website and is another place to check important dates.
