Our Vision

At PVMS, we strive to provide all students with a relevant and rigorous education that promotes high achievement, celebrates diversity, and prepares all students to engage meaningfully with their community.

Our Mission

To ensure that all students learn at grade level or higher while fostering individual interests.

We need your help! We are always looking for ways to improve our school, and parent feedback helps us to inform our decision making. It is our goal to make sure every student and family we serve has a voice. Please complete this survey so that we can address any issues. If there are no issues, we want to hear what we are doing well! PVMS Mid-Year Survey

NJHS eligibility letters and applications should be passed out to the eligible 7th and 8th grade students during SOAR on the morning of February 1st. The requirement to be eligible for NJHS is to have a 3.5 or higher Grade Point Average in the first semester. The applications are due back to Mrs. Gibbons in Rm 220 by February 8th.

We would like to inform you that Mrs. Blasingame is no longer serving as the Skyhawk Academy Director. As many of you know, Mrs. Blasingame has spent her career at the elementary level serving students inside and outside of the classroom. She was informed of a third grade class that lost their teacher over the Winter Break and has decided to use her expertise to serve those students.

While we miss having Mrs. Blasingame, and all she contributed to our team in her short tenure, we understand that her heart is inside the classroom with elementary students. We will seek a replacement for our Skyhawk Academy for the upcoming school year but, for now, we will continue moving forward in our goal of making our 6th Grade Skyhawks feel welcome, loved, and supported! If you need anything feel free to reach out to your Counselor or Asst Principal.

Here's a preview of what our students are learning for the 2nd Semester

All students are required to wear an ID badge throughout the school day. The student's name and photo should be visible, and the ID should be worn around the neck and outside of their clothing. Students are required to wear a grade-appropriate lanyard with their ID.

ID badges are a part of the student dress code and ID badge policy.

All students have received their badges.

Students who are in violation of wearing an ID badge will be allowed to call the parent/guardian to have the badge brought to school. If a parent cannot be reached, students will need to get a temporary badge.

Students who have lost his/her badge or cannot retrieve the badge must purchase a replacement.

Consequences For Not Displaying/Possessing School ID

· 1st Violation- Warning and documentation by staff

· 2nd Violation- Parent Notification/Compliance letter to parent

· 3rd Violation- Subject to LRSD Policy (Rule 33) Repeated violation of

Cat. 2 Offense Page 54 of the LRSD student handbook.

If a replacement ID is needed, students will need to pay $5.00 or 150 PBIS points. Replacement lanyards or badge holders are $2.00 or 50 PBIS points. To replace the whole badge, badge holder, and lanyard is $9.00 or 250 PBIS points.
