Dear PVES Families,<\/p>\n
I hope you have all been enjoying this spectacular spring weather this week!\u00a0 What a wonderful opportunity this is to experience outside (screen-free) activities with your children.\u00a0 Our PVES students have been having daily outdoor recess, outside Physical Education classes, and outdoor classroom activities with their classroom teachers.\u00a0 The summer heat may be making an early appearance later this week, so please be sure to dress your children for the weather and send in those refillable water bottles!<\/p>\n
Please remember to vote at our school on this Tuesday, May 18th<\/sup>! Our PVCSD Budget Vote will be taking place in the Putnam Valley Elementary School Cafeteria from 6 AM to 9 PM.\u00a0 Parking will be available directly in front of the cafeteria entrance throughout the school day.\u00a0 This will not greatly affect our school day, as the majority of our classes eat right in their own classrooms this year.<\/p>\n We are excited to hold our first Virtual Community Read tomorrow.\u00a0 Special guest readers from our community will be virtually visiting each of our classrooms to share special books with the children.\u00a0 Thank you to Mrs. Dawn Vaccaro who once again has created an amazing book poster for the school in honor of this special event.\u00a0 We thank all of our community readers who will be joining us on the screens tomorrow.\u00a0 We appreciate you!<\/p>\n I am so proud to report that PVES held three days of very safe and successful in-person Kindergarten Screening this past week.
