Dear Parents and Guardians,<\/p>\n

I hope this letter finds you well. We will return to school on April 8th, ready to take on the home stretch of the year and the eclipse.\u00a0 School will be in session on April 8th and after-school activities will go on as planned.\u00a0 Remind your child not to stare at the eclipse.<\/p>\n

As we approach the end of the third quarter on April 19th, I wanted to provide you with some important updates and reminders regarding upcoming events and policies at Putnam Valley High School.<\/p>\n

End of Third Quarter:<\/strong> The third quarter will conclude on April 19th<\/strong>. Please encourage your child to stay focused and finish strong as we head into the final months of the school year.\u00a0 This is an excellent time to check PowerSchool<\/a>.\u00a0 Use this link\u00a0 https:\/\/ps.pvcsd.org\/public\/<\/a> to login.\u00a0 Please look at your child\u2019s attendance record and reach out to teachers to follow up with any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n

AP and IB Testing<\/strong>: Students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will have upcoming exams. Only IB students enrolled in year 2 of the IB course will sit for IB assessments.<\/strong>\u00a0 All AP students enrolled in an AP course are expected to sit for the assessment.\u00a0 It’s essential for students to prepare diligently for these tests, as they can earn college credit and demonstrate their academic proficiency.\u00a0 Any questions about assessments should be directed to the teacher.\u00a0 No classes are canceled for testing during May.\u00a0 This means students must attend classes before and\/or after their AP\/IB exams. Here is the link to the 2024 May testing schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Algebra I Regents:<\/strong> The Algebra I Regents exam is scheduled for June 4th. Please note that no classes will be held on this day to accommodate the testing schedule.\u00a0 Only students taking the Algebra I Regents will need to come to school.\u00a0 Morning buses will\u00a0run on their normal schedule.\u00a0 We will have a midday bus run at 11:45to take students home.<\/p>\n

Spring Musical – Rent:<\/strong> Our talented students will showcase their skills in the spring musical, “Rent,” from April 26th to April 28th. We encourage you to support our performing arts program by attending these performances.\u00a0\u00a0For more information and how to get tickets, visit https:\/\/pvcsd.ticketleap.com\/rent-high-school-edition\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Driving to School:<\/strong> Juniors are reminded that they do not have permission to drive to school. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all students and supporting our school rules.<\/p>\n

Campus Policy:<\/strong> Putnam Valley High School is not an open campus. If your child needs to leave school during the day, they must be signed out by a parent, guardian, or an individual listed on the emergency contact list.\u00a0 We don\u2019t allow students to drive home with seniors unless there is written consent in advance from the parent of the driver and the parent of the passenger.<\/p>\n

We look forward to several events in the works for the spring.<\/p>\n
