Dear PVMS Families,
October is already here and it is hard to believe that we have only had 15 days of school in September! Our Back to School Nights were a success and we hope you were able to get an idea of your child’s day and year ahead. If you would like to discuss your children further, please contact team leaders to set up a day that works for everyone.
Our clubs will be underway this month, check our daily communication regarding listings and schedule updates in the event that a club is changed. With over 25 clubs to choose from, your child can choose from a variety of activities that will keep them involved. We will have morning clubs (parent drop-off only) and afternoon clubs as well.
Student Government speeches went well. We would like to see more involvement this year as any student may join Student Council. Student Government elected students will help to lead Student Council and meetings will take place throughout the year. With student advocacy and choice, we hope continue to build culture throughout our building.
Please check your child’s assignment pads on a daily basis and PowerSchool to ensure accountability and transparency regarding grades and assignments. If you have any questions, please contact classroom teachers.
