Warm Holiday Greetings from Principal Chastko and HVS Staff
As we approach the winter break, I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this festive time be filled with joy, laughter, and cherished moments spent together.
The break is a time to reflect on the past year and express gratitude for the wonderful community we have here at Hidden Valley School. I am truly thankful for the privilege of working with such dedicated students, supportive parents, and a talented team of educators.
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. It is a privilege to witness their growth and development each day. I am excited about the opportunities the coming year holds for our students and our school community.
As we all gather with family and friends to celebrate, I hope you find peace and happiness in the company of your loved ones. May the spirit of the season bring warmth to your homes and hearts.

Student-Led Open House – Kindergarten to Grade 4 – as this is an Open House, families do not need to register to attend.
Our Student-Led Open House will be an opportunity for students to take the lead on sharing evidence of their learning, sharing their areas of strength and accomplishments, discussing next steps and setting their own learning targets.
As this is an Open House, you are able to attend at any time on Thursday, January 23, 2025, between 4:00pm - 5:30pm. Your time at the school can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes. It is an important time to spend with your child. The teacher will be there to celebrate your child’s learning. Teachers will not be able to have individual conversations with parents/guardians regarding their child’s progress during this time. We look forward to seeing you!
The first report card will be posted on your child’s MyCBE/PowerSchool account on January 30, 2025.
Rescheduled Alien In-line Days
The cancelled Alien In-line skating days have been rescheduled for January 6, 7, and 8. Instructor Ashley was absolutely amazing during her sessions, and we’re so excited to have her back to inspire and teach our students in the new year.
Your child’s teacher will be reaching out soon with information about volunteering opportunities. Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to see everyone skating again soon!
