Weekly "Newsletter" From Mrs. Stump:
Welcome back from Fall Break! I hope it was a wonderful and restful week. I'm so excited to see them! I love the weeks leading up to Halloween, the kids are always so excited and I love pulling all of the different activities to get them engaged in their learning.
A couple important things to make note of that we have coming up in 3rd Grade! We are finishing up Unit 2 of Animal Classification. We are going to celebrate all of their hard work with an Animal Day on Friday, October 25th. You're student will be participating in all sorts of fun activities such as an Animal Escape Room, a Collaborative Drawing, and a little end of day Animal Party with treats! It will be a great way to end out our animal unit!
Also, please look for an email coming home from me with TWO Sign Up Geniuses. We are looking for parent volunteers and donations for our Halloween Party (October 31st) and our Math or Treat (Nov. 1st). There will be options for donations and lots of volunteers!!
Finally, Quarter 1 ended on October 10th. All teachers will have grades finalized by October 24th and you will see them posted by October 25th. Please check Infinite Campus and your students grades if you have any concerns, please reach out BEFORE October 24th so that there are no surprises when grades are posted!
I can't believe we are already finishing CKLA Unit 2 and Quarter 1 is wrapped up! We are just flying through this 3rd Grade year together!
With love,
Mrs. Stump

Meet Mrs. Mindy Stump
I am delighted to begin my ninth 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 2024-2025 school year!
