Putnam Valley Elementary School

Dear PVES Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! All PVES students have now received their finalized class placement, and plans are in place to welcome all students to school on Tuesday, September 3rd! (Some of our Kindergarten students will start school on September 4th, as our Kindergarten classes have a staggered start for the new year). We can’t wait to have all our amazing elementary students back in our freshly painted building. We have missed you so much!

Please be sure to closely review the attached Main Events Calendar, as several important revisions have been made (Spring Break dates, Spirit Week). We apologize for the typos. We certainly have a busy year ahead, and we can’t wait to get started.

Please also check the Dismissal Plan notice that is attached to this newsletter. If you have specific questions, please contact Mrs. Sillery at dsillery@pvcsd.org.

We thank all our Kindergarten families who were able to attend the Kindergarten Bus Run & Orientation and the Kindergarten Back to School Night yesterday! These were wonderful events, and our teachers did such a great job welcoming our new students and parents! Thank you also to our new PV families who attended our New Student Orientation yesterday. We are so happy to have you with us!

At the end of each week, you will receive this Weekly Word message via email. Please be sure to read it carefully and to always check the Weekly Attachments. This will help to keep you informed on the school’s happenings, along with important information that may pertain to your child. Thank you for staying involved. We are honored to partner with you in your child’s educational journey.

Please be sure that your child’s health and immunization records are up to date for the new school year. If you have questions, you can call our main office at 845-528-8092.

Enjoy the remaining days of summer. We look forward to the start of something amazing!

Sincerely,
Dr. Margaret Podesta
Principal
