We hope you had a great week!
Spring has finally arrived and what a wonderful time to walk/bike/scoot to school! We are so thankful for the hundreds of students and families that walk/bike/scoot to school. We also know many of you park farther away and walk the last few blocks to school to reduce congestion around the school, way to go! Some of you may have noticed the pylons placed in areas where no stopping or drop off can occur. Please plan your morning accordingly so that your child arrives at school on time as you will need to park further away if you choose to drive your child to school. In addition, stopping on the road is not permitted and students walking between parked cars is unsafe. We urge you to work in partnership with us so that students, staff and families are safe. Thank you.
The Anxious Generation Book Club
We are excited to invite parents/guardians to join our Community Book Club, where we will be reading and discussing The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. This timely book examines how technology, parenting, and changing childhood experiences are affecting the mental health and well-being of young people. Together, we will reflect on how these ideas relate to our own children and explore practical ways to support confidence, resilience, and balance in a digital world. We invite you to complete this Google Form to express interest in the Book Club.

Class Building
As we plan for the 2026 - 2027 school year, we will soon begin to work on building classes. Our goal is to create well-balanced classes that are a good fit for each and every one of our students. We carefully consider learning, academic, and social skills as well as other information provided by families when making class placement decisions.
You are welcome to submit requests that share more about your child and the type of learning environment in which they work best. However, please note that requests for specific teachers will not be considered. Additionally, please note that requests will be considered to inform, but not direct, class building decisions, as our ultimate goal is to build classes that ensure the success of all students. We value your input and if you have specific information about your child that you think would be helpful for us to consider during the process, please complete this Google Form by Friday, May 15th.
Are you moving?
If you are moving and your child(ren) will be attending a different school September 2026, we ask that you please email Claudia Zomer (zomerc@hdsb.ca) to inform the school as soon as possible.

We look forward to welcoming our Junior Kindergarten students to Escarpment View in September! We invite our newest students and families to join us for a Kindergarten Orientation on Thursday, May 14th at 4:00pm - 5:00pm. We can’t wait to see you!
