\"\"Dear PVMS Families,<\/span><\/p>\n

We are off to a wonderful start!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you but September flew by and it is hard to believe October is upon us. \u00a0 It\u2019s the time of year for cooler temperatures, falling leaves,\u00a0 and pumpkins.\u00a0 When we look outside in the late afternoon, the sun is setting earlier and earlier and it is dark before we know it.\u00a0 Please remind your children to dress appropriately for these dropping temperatures as they wait for their buses in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to all that were able to come out to our Back to School Night(s) and partnering with us in your child\u2019s educational journey.\u00a0 If you would like to schedule a meeting with your child’s teachers, please contact the teacher directly and\/or the team leader on the grade level\u00a0 to set up a day that works for everyone.\u00a0 Topics of these meetings may range from academic, social and emotional, or just letting teachers know who your child is as a learner.\u00a0 Since we do not have scheduled parent teacher conferences like our elementary school, I highly encourage you to reach out and schedule these meetings at your convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of<\/span> our clubs<\/span><\/a> have started and many more will start this month.\u00a0 We always encourage students to expand their horizons in trying new things and this is a wonderful opportunity to do so.\u00a0 Eighth grade students that may qualify for National Junior Honor Society can expand on their experiences and application requirements by joining modified sports and joining clubs.\u00a0 Many of our clubs run in the afternoon but some run in the morning so there is a need to be dropped off at 7:00AM.\u00a0 Please sign up prior to attending and remember students can<\/span> sign up <\/span><\/a>for as many as they would like to.\u00a0 Please note that students will take the<\/span> loop bus<\/span><\/a> that runs home or must be picked up by parents\/guardians at 4:15PM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Student Government speeches and elections were held on Friday, September 29th in our HS PAC.\u00a0 Congratulations to all of our students who campaigned and had the courage to give speeches in front of the entire student body.\u00a0 We are so proud of all!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our teachers have been working hard at weaving our 10 IB MYP Learner Profile\u00a0 attributes into daily instruction.\u00a0 Student work and lessons have been focused on what it means to be:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
