Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week the whole school participated in our Ani to Pisi enactment. The human spider web teaches us that we are all connected and that it is our responsibility to respond to one another's’ vibrations. It was a powerful morning, and we are very proud of our MVS students for how respectful they were. Thank you to those parents who were able to join us.
Swimming Lessons:
Unfortunately, Renfrew Pool will not be able to host us for swimming lessons this school year. We were aware of the fact that the pool will be undergoing renovations when we booked our lessons for June. However, the pool has extended the renovation time-line and we will no longer be able to attend lessons this year.
Important upcoming dates:
April 14,15,16 – Grade 5/6 Kamp Kiwanis day trips (please ensure your student comes dressed appropriately for the weather, with a water bottle, lunch and all other necessary items)
April 18 – No School
April 21 – Non-Instruction Day (no school for students)
April 22 to May 1 – Sound Kreations Residency *** Funded by our generous School Council
May 1 – Spring Concert @ 6pm
May 16 – Non-Instruction Day (no school for students)
May 26 – Grade 6 vaccinations
May 28 – ELAL PAT Part A
May 29 – Kindergarten Orientation
There are many field trips and residences happening at Mount View School and our staff and students would like to express our gratitude for the generous support from the Mount View Home and School Association. Please check their page on our website for more details.

School Council AGM – May 13
The current School Council will be stepping down, and while we’ve had some fantastic volunteers step up for some of the roles, we’re still looking for candidates to fill two key positions:
Chair: Responsible for setting the agenda and leading meetings (about 1 hour per week). No experience necessary – we’ll ensure a smooth handover and provide plenty of support during the transition.
Vice-Chair: Supports the Chair, steps in when needed, and is ready to take over the Chair role when the time comes.
Training is available for all new School Council Members through Alberta School Council Associations (ASCA).
Attention Dads: Our school council is seriously lacking Dad representation! We need your wit, wisdom, and maybe even a few dad jokes to help balance the team. Share your perspective, get involved, and make a real difference. Don’t leave it all up to the Moms! Put down the remote, take a break from the lawnmower, and join us. The kids (and the school) will be grateful!
If you're interested or want more details, feel free to reach out at mountviewschoolcouncil@gmail.com.
The School Council is all about ensuring parent voices are heard in decision-making and fostering collaboration to enhance the school environment and improve student outcomes.
We look forward to seeing you at the AGM!
