Dear PVHS families,<\/p>\n
Can you believe it?\u00a0 Last Friday marked the midpoint of the 1st quarter.\u00a0 It certainly has been a positive start to our school year.\u00a0 We have received many comments from different groups about how respectful and polite our students are.\u00a0 Our staff, visitors, and presenters are amazed that our students say hi to them and ask how they are doing.\u00a0 These simple gestures go a long way toward maintaining a warm, welcoming school culture.<\/p>\n
Teachers updated all grades and comments by Wednesday, October 7th.\u00a0 This is an excellent time to check on your child\u2019s progress.\u00a0 Review their grades, assignments, and ATTENDANCE.\u00a0 Your interest and support at home are essential to student success, both academically and socially-emotionally.\u00a0 If you have questions about a particular class, your child\u2019s teacher is the first person to contact.\u00a0 The parent-teacher relationship and communication are paramount to student success.<\/p>\n
You heard that correctly!\u00a0 The school district will absorb the cost of all IB courses in Year 2 (previously the district paid for one course) and any of our College courses.\u00a0 These include Dutchess Community College (DCC) courses: College Calculus, College Pre-Calculus, College Stats, IB Math SL Year 2, IB Spanish\/French Year 2, Siena College Intro to Computer Science, UAlbany Science Research classes.\u00a0 Students will need to enroll in the courses in class and meet the passing requirements in order to receive college credit that is transferable.\u00a0 As per our\u00a0 Student Handbook, any student enrolled in an IB course in Year 2 must complete the Internal (IA) and External (EA) assessments and any other requirements of the course to receive an IB designation on their transcripts.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Mr. Matt Mello
