Dear PVES Families,
Happy month of May! Our students are prepared and ready for the busy calendar over the next two months of the school year, and we are so proud of their progress and growth. Thank you for continuing to emphasize organization, good homework habits, and of course, strong attendance and punctuality throughout the final quarter of the year. We continue to teach new concepts and prepare for the year ahead.
If you have any questions about your child’s Progress Report that was mailed last week, please be sure to contact your child’s teacher. You can set up a phone call, virtual meeting, or in-person conference. We always want to communicate well and work closely with you as we support your child’s growth.
This week (May 4th through May 8th) is Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week! We are so fortunate at PVES to have such a talented staff and faculty, and we thank the PTA for making this week so special for all. Please take a moment to reach out to your child’s teachers and support staff. They care so very much about your children!
Our third and fourth grade students will be taking their NYS Math tests this week. As always, our students are extremely well prepared for these exams, and this is an opportunity to show off their great math thinking. Thank you to all of our K-4 teachers for supporting such a strong math foundation.
Please be sure to mark your calendars for our District Budget Vote on Tuesday, May 19th. Voting will take place from 6 AM to 9 PM in our Elementary School Cafeteria. Our Student Vote will be taking place on that day as well. When our PVES students accompany their parents to vote, they will be able to help select our facility dog Mason’s middle name! This is a wonderful and engaging opportunity for children to learn about the power of the individual vote!
Please plan to join us for our Planting Party on Tuesday, May 19th, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 on our elementary campus. This was such a joyful and beautiful event last year. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. McCarty by emailing her at kmccarty@pvcsd.org. This is not a drop-off event, and all are welcome! Thank you all for your support!
As we approach Mother’s Day, we would like to wish all of our moms, guardians, grandmothers, and loving caregivers and role models the happiest of days! You play such an integral part in your child’s growth and success, and we hope you know how loved and appreciated you are each and every day!
Have a wonderful week ahead. Please check the calendar scroll and attachments carefully for all upcoming concerts and events. PVES is a busy place!
Sincerely,
Dr. Margaret Podesta
Principal
