Weekly "Newsletter" From Mrs. Stump:

Happy November! I hope everyone is feeling recovered from Halloween! We are getting into the busiest season of the year! I love this time of year with the students though! 

 

Our next couple of weeks up to Thanksgiving Break will be getting back to our regular school routine and working through our CKLA Units! Right now, students are learning about the Human Body! Students will be bringing home their Human Body study guide on Monday. Please take some time to review it together at home—our Human Body Test will be on November 11th.

 

We’re also looking forward to Veterans Day, which is coming up soon. Our Veterans Day Assembly will take place from 9:00–9:40 a.m. as we honor and celebrate those who have served our country. The students always do such an amazing job performing at this assembly and it's so fun to see them up on the stage! 

 

Looking ahead, middle of the year testing will begin after we return from Thanksgiving Break. More details will be shared as we get closer to that time.

 

With love,
Mrs. Stump

Meet Mrs. Mindy Stump

I am delighted to begin my tenth year at Aspen View Academy this year! I have been teaching for 18 years. I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education at John Brown University and my Masters of Education at Cedarville University. 

It is a privilege to be a teacher. I became a teacher to impact the lives of students. My first goal is to provide a safe and caring environment for your child. Secondly, I strive to provide a learning experience where each student is able to meet their full potential as students and future leaders. Thirdly, I want to partner with you to create a team that works for the best interests of your child. 

It is crucial to a child's success to have support and encouragement from their families, school, and community. I appreciate your involvement and support this year as we work together. I look forward to an excellent 2025-2026 school year!
