Pleasant View Pronghorns Post

Pleasant View continues to build a community that values one another, focuses on teamwork and collaboration between home and school, and supports the definition of community and generosity. As parents, you have supported this vision and blessed this community with thoughtfulness and compassion. We could not be more proud to be a part of this community, and we are thankful for the opportunity to spend time with your perseverant, inquisitive, and reflective children.

On behalf of the PVE staff, we wish you a very merry and restful winter break as you celebrate the holidays. May you find time to laugh with one another, find joy and peace in each moment, and sneak in a little time to relax! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

~Amy and Mary

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!

PVE is now part of the WASD Winter Raffle. West Ada Fundraiser – West Ada Schools Activities Fundraiser

Ticket sales will end on January 17th, and we will be selecting finalists at the January 22nd Board Meeting. (See the attachment for prizes being given away) Tickets are $75.00 each plus the credit card fee of $3.00. PVE will receive $71.00 for each ticket sold in our school's name. Ticket sales are only available online at the website.

Please be sure to send your child to school ready for the elements. If the temperatures are above 20 degrees, including wind chill, we are outside for recess. Unless there is a doctor's note, ALL students are expected to go out. Snow does not stop our play time, nor does a little sprinkle of rain.

Also, if you worry about your child's clothes potentially getting wet, please send them with a backup outfit, as the school does not have enough clothing for those who tend to enjoy playing in the snow.

It is time for the annual District Art Show artwork projects to begin. The District Art Show is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 18, 2024. However, submissions are due to the front office by February 1, 2023.

This year, the theme for elementary will be “Nature’s Beauty.”

*Please note that PVE may only send ONE piece to the district office for the art show, so we will narrow down the submission and have staff and student voting to help chose our winning piece to represent PVE.

**Please make sure you follow the district guidelines for the submission and do not place student name on the front of the piece.

Cell phones are to be off and in backpacks. Students may not use them while on the school campus, beginning at drop off and ending when picked up. If the device allows, watches must be silenced or on school mode. These may remain on their wrist as long as they can be utilized as a tool and not a toy, meaning they are not used during the school day, nor should students play with the item.

If a student needs to contact a parent, a staff member or student will use a classroom or office phone. Students should not contact parents on their devices during the school day or receive calls from family members. Don't hesitate to contact the front office if you need to have a message sent to your student before the end of the day, preferably before 3:00.

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.

If the items are not used correctly or become a distraction, the item will remain with an adult until the end of the day. If the problem persists, the item will be turned in to Mrs. Senethavilay, and she will call to have a parent pick up the device.

Thank you for understanding and working with us as we continue to maintain privacy for all and limit interruptions to the learning environment.

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!
