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

We had great participation for our Red Ribbon Week as we closed out the week for costume day, \u201cScare Away Drugs.\u201d\u00a0 A highlight of the week was our First Responders Apparatus and Equipment Day where our local municipalities came to PVMS to show off what they do.\u00a0 A tremendous thank you to the Putnam Valley Ambulance Corps, Putnam Valley Fire Department, Putnam County Emergency Response Team, Putnam County Sheriff\u2019s Department, Putnam County SWAT team, Westchester County Police for flying in their helicopter, Westchester County Special Operations Division and New York State Police with their K-9 officers.\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t have asked for a better turn out as it was wonderful to see some of our former students as volunteers.\u00a0 Our hope is to continue this as a yearly tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is hard to believe that November is here as we continue deep into autumn and start to feel the colder temperatures.\u00a0 Please have your children bundle up for these changes.\u00a0 They should be wearing jackets and be prepared for outdoor recess while enjoying the fresh air.\u00a0 We encourage our teachers to bring their students outside as much as possible as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that there is always the possibility of snow or icy roads moving forward and to have a contingency plan in place.\u00a0 In the case that we may have an early dismissal, it is imperative to provide your children with a house key or a plan to go to a neighbor\u2019s or relative\u2019s house.\u00a0 We do not want your children to panic or need to make last minute plans as this will impact their emotional state and distress them in a time where this doesn\u2019t need to be the case.\u00a0 Create a plan and discuss it with your child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the pandemic continues to impact our daily lives, please note the following if your child is quarantined.<\/span><\/p>\n
