Dear PVES Families,<\/p>\n
Thank you so much for your participation in our Parent\/Teacher conferences this past week.\u00a0 Although these are unique times, our goal at PVES is to continue with targeted consistent instruction, supporting our students emotionally and academically throughout the year.\u00a0 This communication between home and school is vital to this work.\u00a0 Please review the 1st<\/sup> Quarter Progress Report with your child, focusing on motivation and good learning habits.\u00a0 Thank you so much for your support.<\/p>\n Our school district is committed to staying open for students whenever possible, always depending on Department of Health and state regulations. Thank you for understanding that when school moves to remote learning, this is frustrating for all of us. Thank you to our faculty who is prepared to teach remotely if necessary at any point.\u00a0 From what I can see, we will be open tomorrow for all of our in-school elementary learners, and so it will be a normal school day.\u00a0 We all look forward to easier days!<\/p>\n When your children are learning remotely, we ask that all parents allow the students to work as independently as possible.\u00a0 School policies do not allow photos, recordings, or screenshots of Google Meet lessons.\u00a0 We also ask that students mute their microphones when the teacher asks them to, and that no adult voices (or other family members) can be heard in the background.\u00a0 We take privacy issues very seriously, along with the goal of establishing the best learning environment possible for our young students. Thank you so much for your help with this.<\/p>\n If your in-school learner needed a laptop for this past Friday, we ask that you return it to school first thing tomorrow.\u00a0 Elementary students may not<\/u> transport district laptops in their backpacks.\u00a0 If an extended school closure should be announced, we will be reaching out to all PVES families to set up laptop pick-ups for all families in need of this.\u00a0 This will be quick and efficient.\u00a0 However, if school is closed for just a day or two, this mass laptop distribution will not take place.\u00a0 Laptops must be returned to PVES in the same working condition in which they were released, and they are to be used for school purposes only.\u00a0 Thank you for your help with this!<\/p>\n Thank you to the PTA for conducting our School Picture Retake Day and our Virtual Book Fair this past week. Thank you also to all families who were able to contribute to the Holiday Food Drive!\u00a0 We are all working together, and this is making all the difference.<\/p>\n We are now in the beginning of the second quarter of the school year.\u00a0 We have so much success to celebrate at this point, and we will continue to do our very best in the months ahead.\u00a0 Thank you so much for all of the positive shout-outs and acknowledgements.\u00a0 Our hard work is certainly being done in the best interests of our students.<\/p>\n I wish you and yours a very happy, healthy, and peaceful Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Continue to help others around you, and be sure to model gratitude for your children.\u00a0 I am thankful to be working with all of you!<\/p>\n Warmly,<\/p>\n Dr. Podesta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear PVES Families, Thank you so much for your participation in our Parent\/Teacher conferences this past week.\u00a0 Although these are unique times, our goal at PVES is to continue with targeted consistent instruction, supporting our students emotionally and academically throughout the year.\u00a0 This communication between home and school is vital to this work.\u00a0 Please review… Continue Reading Weekly Word – November 22, 2020<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[86],"class_list":["post-8463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-es-letter","tag-covid19","clearfix"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8463"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8465,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8463\/revisions\/8465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pvcsd.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
