Meet Mrs. Mindy Stump

I am delighted to begin my eighth year at Aspen View Academy this year! I have been teaching for 16 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 2023-2024 school year!
