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.
Reminder:
Due to safety concerns, beginning November 27th, we will no longer be allowing students to cross the street at the bus loading area (Ranch Drive) to meet parents. We have tried to monitor and adjust, but we are still seeing safety issues. This means that parents will not be able to park at the bank and wait for students or come across the street. If you are willing to exit your car and walk to the side walk to escort your student across the street you may do so. However, all "walkers" will be directed to the stop sign at the intersection of Ranch Dr/Ranch Blvd towards the residential areas.
We cannot direct students towards private businesses any longer. If you have communicated that your student will be a "walker" but you meet them off campus; understand that they will be asked to walk to the end of Ranch Drive before they can meet you at your designated location. If you need to pick up your student, you will need to stay in the car line and pick them up from the back of the school. All car riders will need to be picked up from the back of the school in the car line. No car riders will be allowed to cross Ranch Drive to enter cars. We will continue to ensure that our car line moves quickly and effectively to honor your time restraints.
If you arrive after 4:45p for pick-up, please pick your student up from the front of the school. We hope you understand that we have an obligation to honor the requests of our business partners in the Ranch but, most importantly, that the safety of our students is our first priority. We appreciate your flexibility!

If you have any questions about content, or how to help your student while at home, be sure to reach out to their teachers! We would be glad to help you assist in their learning.
Name Badges
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

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

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.
