Dear Hunter Elementary Families,
To help balance enrollment, an enrollment cap will be in place for the 2025-26 school year for new K-4 students residing in the area between McMillan Road (north), Ustick Road (south), Ten Mile Road (east), and McDermott Road (west). Beginning next school year, all new K-4 students in this area will enroll at Hunter Elementary instead of Pleasant View. However, current Pleasant View students may remain at the school or choose to transfer to Hunter Elementary before the boundary adjustment takes effect.
Looking ahead, the Long-Range Planning Committee intends to recommend that the Board of Trustees officially expand Hunter Elementary’s boundary to include this area starting in the 2026-27 school year. We appreciate your support as we work to ensure the best possible learning environments for all students.
If you have any questions about your specific situation, please contact the office at either school or reach us directly at 208-855-4500.
Sincerely,
Dr. David Reinhart Miranda Carson
Chief Operating Officer Director of Transportation

Dear Hunter Elementary Families,
At last night’s Board of Trustees meeting, a proposed geographic enrollment cap for Pleasant View Elementary was presented for consideration. As anticipated, Pleasant View has reached its enrollment capacity, and with continued residential growth to the west and south, capacity challenges are expected to increase over the next five years.
To proactively manage enrollment ahead of the scheduled boundary adjustment in the 2026-27 school year, we are proposing an enrollment cap for new K-4 students in a designated area beginning in the 2025-26 school year.
Under this proposal:
All new K-4 students in the designated area would enroll at Hunter Elementary starting in the 2025-26 school year.
Current Pleasant View students may remain at the school or opt to transfer to Hunter ahead of the boundary adjustment.
Hunter Elementary has the capacity to accommodate approximately 50 students affected by this change.
Pleasant View currently operates with a portable classroom, and no further expansion is possible. This proposed adjustment aims to balance enrollment while minimizing disruption for current students.
Designated Enrollment Cap Area:
North: McMillan Road
South: Ustick Road
East: Ten Mile Road
West: McDermott Road
Community Engagement & Next Steps
We invite you, as well as families in the surrounding neighborhoods affected by this change, to a community meeting on Tuesday, February 18th, from 5:30-7:30 PM at Pleasant View Elementary School. This meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss the proposal, address community questions, and gather feedback.
Mrs. Amy Senethavialy, Principal of Pleasant View Elementary, Mr. Jeff Christopherson, Principal of Hunter Elementary, and Dr. David Reinhart, Chief Operations Officer, will be available at the meeting to provide insights and answer questions.
The Board of Trustees will review this proposal and consider potential action at the board meeting on February 24th. To view materials from last night's board meeting, please visit
SIMBLI or watch the presentation on YouTube.
We appreciate your understanding and engagement as we work toward the best solutions for our students and schools.
Sincerely,
West Ada School District
