Due to school closures for weather last week, the district has adjusted end of semester 1 dates. January 25th and 26th will now be full days (8:10 - 2:40). There will now be early release days on February 1st and 2nd (8:10 - 11:40), with the 2nd being the last day of semester 1.

Students should be sure to get in any missing assignments soon if they are to be credited to their first semester grades. Students and parents/guardians may view missing assignments in their Skyward Family Access account.

Students will be participating in i-Ready testing for math for the first two hours of the school day on Tuesday, January 23rd. These tests are used to gauge student progress and tailor learning to their specific needs. Getting a good night's rest the night before, breakfast in the morning, and arriving to school on time will help your child be the most successful in recalling for this assessment everything that they have been learning. It is always exciting to see how much progress our students have made since September.

Here are a couple more facts to know about the capital levy:

Fact #6: Property owners would begin paying for the three-year capital levy in 2025

At the end of 2023, the district finished paying off a bond issued in 2005. That funding was used to build the Daybreak and Tukes Valley campuses as well as Chief Umtuch Middle School. It also expanded Amboy Middle and Captain Strong Primary schools, added the Laurin Middle School commons and much more. If approved by voters, collection on the capital levy would begin in 2025.

Fact #7: The estimated rate would be $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed property value

This rate is expected to be the same all three years of the capital levy, and matches the cost of the bond that expired after 2023.

Learn more of the facts about the capital levy on the district website.

***UPDATE***

Due to the snowy conditions forecasted for Friday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Bingo Night. Although we were all super excited to gather together and have a blast playing bingo, safety has to come first. We don't want anyone slipping and sliding their way into a possibly dangerous situation. Trust us, it wasn't an easy choice – we know how much fun these evenings are – but we want everyone to stay cozy and comfortable in the warmth of their homes until the snow clears up. Don't worry though, we'll reschedule in no time so that everyone can come together again for a memorable evening of laughs and shout-outs of "Bingo!"

Table reservations will carry over to the new date.

One of our really fun family events is almost here, mark your calendars and come join us for a good time.

Family Bingo Night - $2 at the door to play all night!

8th Grade Celebration Committee will be selling candy, chips and water.

Cash is strongly encouraged and preferred! Cards are accepted with a processing fee, and may have a longer line.

Volunteers are Needed!

All volunteers will receive one set of Bingo cards and popcorn for free!

Sign up now: https://signup.com/go/UsdcWRP

Reserve a 6 Person Table for $12!

If you choose not to reserve - or if tables are no longer available - families are also encouraged to bring blankets to lay out on the gym floor picnic-style. This event will be held in the large gym, which has rubber style flooring.

Reserve your table now: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/family-bingo-2023

Yearbook staff is looking for great photos for our 2023-24 yearbook. If you have taken some good photos of PVM sporting events, activities, PTA events, class projects or general student life, please upload them through the link below so they may be considered for our yearbook.

The qualities below make for a better photo for yearbook purposes:

• Close up photos, as it is often hard to see students/activities in distance photos
• Good focus, not fuzzy
• High resolution is better for larger photos
• Action shots are always fun to look at

If possible, please note names of all students/staff being pictured so we may check our "no photos" list for any who are not to be pictured in the yearbook.

*** UPDATE 1/23 *** 8th grade parents please send in your student's baby photo - ages 0 to 3. Only one photo is needed. Please be sure to add your student's name when you upload the photo.

Upload photos here

We have started taking orders for yearbooks. Payment must be received at the time you reserve your copy. Yearbooks will be $20 this year. We order a limited number of yearbooks, so get your order in early to reserve a copy before they are all sold. Checks may be made out to PVM. We do not have a change box, so exact change is appreciated if using cash.

Registration for girls soccer opens December 11th and closes on January 12th.

Girls Soccer Practice Information

***Updated information***

From Coach Wadleigh.

Due to our unexpected week off of school and practice, it has been decided to cancel the jamboree so that we can get a full week of practices before the first game on Wednesday 1/31.

I have made a couple tweaks to our practice schedule this week -- we will be staying at PVM and practicing in the gym on Tuesday and Thursday.

This is what our week will look like:

Monday 1/22 (today): Girls will be transported to Prairie, practice ends at 4:30

Tuesday 1/23: We will practice in the gym at PVM, practice ends at 4:30

Wednesday 1/24: Girls will be transported to Prairie, practice ends at 4:30

Thursday 1/25: We will practice in the gym at PVM, practice ends at 4:30

Friday 1/26: Girls will be transported to Prairie, practice ends at 4:30

Please be sure your student is prepared for wet/cold weather and brings appropriate clothing to stay comfortable. Practices ARE outdoors.

Starting Wednesday, Jan.10th students will ride a bus over to Prairie high school to practice on the turf. Students must be picked up from practices at Prairie (fields near tennis courts, use entrance off 119th across from WinCo). Practices at PHS will end at 4:30 and students MUST be picked up by 4:30. Students will not have a bus to ride home from practices at PHS.

Boys Basketball Practice Information

Tryouts will start on Monday, January 29th, directly after school until 4:45. Teams will be announced on Friday, February 2nd. Practice/tryouts are every day after school until 4:45. Parents/Guardians MUST pick up their player by 4:45.

Students who will be attending sports events as a spectator at the middle school will need to go home after school and return for the game later. We do not have supervision for students to stay after until the game. Students attending games will need to be accompanied by an adult and will need to remain inside the gym while they are on campus.

Battle Ground Public School is hosting a virtual presentation via Zoom to provide information about dual credit for all students and families, eighth through 11th grades, on Tuesday, Jan. 23, from 4-5 p.m. Dual credit provides students with the potential to earn high school and college credit at the same time.

If you have any questions, contact Work-Based Learning Coordinator Kris Neal via email at neal.kris@battlegroundps.org.

Inhaling and exhaling the aerosol produced by an electronic vapor device, also known as vaping, carries health risks. Vaping products can include nicotine, chemicals, marijuana or other drugs that can affect students’ learning, attention and self-control. While most youth nationwide are choosing not to vape, we are concerned whenever a student chooses to use these products. Read about how the district helps students make healthy choices, how parents and guardians can help teens and consequences when a student uses vaping products at school.

Hello PVM families!

Latest COVID-19 guidance

The health of our children is important to all of us. Battle Ground Public Schools is working with Clark County Public Health and the Washington state Department of Health to continue best practices for responding to COVID-19.

COVID safety in schools

• Battle Ground Public Schools is following the standard guidelines for keeping children home from school. These are based on the infectious disease guidelines provided by Clark County Department of Health. The guidelines apply to both staff and students.
• Staff and volunteers are no longer required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Volunteers must still complete the standard clearance process.
• General masking is optional in schools, including in school health rooms.
  • Anyone may choose to continue wearing a mask on school grounds. We expect our students and staff to continue to show respect for one another and the many different viewpoints that make up our community.
• Rapid test kits will continue to be available in buildings for use at home. Depending on availability, these also may be obtained through the Washington Department of Health website.

Staying healthy

Clark County Public Health recommends that people take the following actions to prevent colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.

• Stay home if running a fever or experiencing other symptoms of illness. See our guidelines for keeping children home from school for more information.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces that are frequently touched.

COVID-19 cases in schools
