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!

We are once again going to build our Wall of Honor to help celebrate Veterans Day. We would like to honor those family members who have served or who are currently serving. Our staff and students enjoyed this project so much that we want to invite everyone to share their family members with us so that we may recognize and appreciate the service they have given or are currently giving.

Here is a link to the HONORING OUR VETERANS document that you may open and work on at home. Students are welcome to draw pictures or insert a picture into the document. We are accepting these until THURSDAY, November 9.

Please note, we are overflowing in our lost and found. With all the events of Friday, October 27, we did not get the reminder out to you. So... please make sure you have your kids stop by the lost and found location to find what may be missing. You are also welcome to sign in to check the lost and found during the day.

With cold and flu season upon us, here are some quick reminders for when students should remain home:

• Fever greater than 100.0 degrees: A fever lets us know that our body is fighting an infection. We are contagious during this time and need rest. Students should be fever free for at least 24 hours, without fever reducing medication, before returning to school.

• Vomiting and/or diarrhea: Students should stay home for 24 hours without vomiting diarrhea before returning to school to make sure they can keep food/liquids down.

• Sore throat with a fever greater than 100.0 degrees: Students should stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. If they are diagnosed with Strep throat, then they should stay home until they have been on the prescribed antibiotics and are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.

• Students should stay home if they have a new onset persistent cough in which they are coughing so much it keeps them from participating in class or disrupts their classmates. Student may return when their cough is no longer disruptive to the educational environment and/or the student is cleared to return to school by their health care provider.

*There may be exceptions. Please contact your school nurse with any questions.
