Congratulations to this group of students who received recognition for being a great example of what is means to be a PVE Pronghorn. These students were caught either modeling a school-wide expectation or showing ownership for their learning. Way to be #PronghornStrong!

Please contact the office if you have any questions about our upcoming kindergarten registration. *Please note, per state law, a child must be 5 on or before September 1 to enroll in kindergarten.

We are seeing far too many students who are struggling with their watches and phones. Please help remind your child that these are a tool and not a toy. If your child or the learning environment are distracted by the use of these items, they will be removed and placed in backpacks. After the second time a device is removed from a student, the items will be given to Mrs. Senethavilay. Parents will be contacted to pick up the device.

Also, students may not use their personal devices to call or text during the school day and may not use these to bypass the health office.

I know safety and communication with your children are essential; we value and respect this. We ask that you make sure to work with your children about the school expectations with these devices. Thank you for understanding and working with us as we continue to maintain privacy for all and limit interruptions to the learning environment.

Need a reminder about this policy, please refer to the WELCOME NEWSLETTER linked in a button toward the end of the newsletter.

Let's gear up for our Roaring Readers Reading Program! If your child reads (outside of school) for the required time and fills out the reading chart (with your guidance), they will receive a free day pass to Roaring Springs Waterpark! In your child's take-home folder, you will find a Roaring Readers Reading Chart & Program Details. To help you find it, it's a yellow-orange piece of paper. The reading charts are optional, but please encourage your child to do this! Fostering reading at home is important and helps your child so much!

During library time this past week, we discussed strategies on how to fill out their charts! Please keep these charts in a safe space. Please sign each time they complete their reading to double-check they have completed their reading for the day. We talked about setting timers to help alleviate the question of what time they started reading. We also have done the math and calculated how many times we would need to sit down and read because 600 minutes sounds intimidating to K-4 and 800 minutes sounds endless to 5th grade!

If you run out of room on the chart, please attach another paper (of any kind), click on the button below for an additional reading chart to print, or ask your child to pick up another reading chart attached to my bulletin board. The reading charts are due back to your classroom teacher by Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Thanks for helping to foster the love of reading at home!

Our PTA plays a vital role in supporting our school community, organizing events, and enriching the educational experience for our children. We are truly thankful for the PTA Board members that have volunteered their time each year, as it is essential for the smooth functioning of our school's activities.

We have 3 positions that are in need to be filled next year on the Board, as those that currently hold them have done so for the max of a 2 year term.

1. Secretary

2. Treasurer

3. VP of Fundraising

Luckily our other Board positions are staying put for next year! :)

What I am hoping is one of you will nominate yourself for one of these roles! We have elections coming up (which is a PTA formality) at our meeting Wed March 13th and need to vote in a new Board for the 2024-2025 school year and start the training and transition process at the end of the year.

We understand the demands of family life and work commitments, but we are reaching out to each of you, hoping that someone within our amazing PVE community can step up and take on one of these leadership roles.

Whether you have experience in a PTA position or are new to volunteering, your commitment can make a substantial difference in the lives of our children. Please consider volunteering for a PTA board position, or encourage a fellow parent who may be willing to contribute their time and skills.

If you want to chat on the phone, meet for coffee or something, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Attached are some details on each position. Here is the link to nominate yourself - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1h8aVW8B774U8BP3RJOdoaed9XX8BgvtGggvPWjT2eEs/edit

Thank you for reading my very long email. :)

Have some time in your schedule to help support the running club at PVE? Sign up to help scan passes as students make their laps.

Please get in touch with the office before 3:00 for any last-minute changes at the end of the day, so we have plenty of time to communicate with staff members. (If preplanned, please email both the teacher and office.)

If you are coming in at the end of the day to check out a student, please note we will not call students down after 3:45 pm. They are already cleaning up and transitioning for release at the end of the day.

Thank you for being so understanding!
