Congratulations to the first group of students who had their Pronghorn Pride Ticket drawn today. These students were caught either modeling a school-wide expectation or showing ownership for their learning. Way to be #PronghornStrong!

*Students gathered for the photo for less than 1 minute and then distanced themselves.

Thank you for working with our school and staff to allow our children to still find joy and excitement at school during this chaotic and changing times. We are so grateful for this community and the teamwork that goes into making Pleasant View the best school for our students.

More pictures to come soon!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to say, "THANK YOU." This Pleasant View Staff has continued to find blessings each and every day, most of those in the form of your child with whom you share with us. We cannot tell you how much we have loved being a part of this community and how grateful we are for the continued support, positive comments, and uplifting encouragement and praise that comes in on a daily basis. Thank you for being a shining light for us in the midst of this global pandemic that that changed so much in our daily lives.

May this Thanksgiving break be a time for us to come together again as family and focus on what we hold most dear. Enjoy your time together, and we wish you rest and well-being.

Sincerely,

Amy Senethavilay and the Pleasant View Staff

On Tuesday, November 17, 2020, the West Ada School Board of Trustees approved updated information about masks. Please read the information below, as we will be working with families and students to make sure they are in compliance and understanding of the new requirements.

If your child has been wearing a shield, these are no longer permissible unless there is a medical reason and you have met with the principal and nurse to approve the use.

Should you have questions, I am happy to help. We appreciate how flexible and understanding our families have been as we continue to pivot this year.

The change addressed the use of face shields and mask breaks:

Throughout the duration of the current pandemic, students will be required to wear a cloth face covering (mask) that fully covers the nose and mouth and fits snug against the sides of the face. Students will be allowed mask breaks when determined necessary by the teacher and appropriate social distancing can be maintained. Mask breaks will not happen in the classroom. Face shields are not permitted for use as a matter of preference and will only be used to accommodate medical and/or communication conditions. Face shields should never become an absolute substitution for cloth face coverings. Medical accommodations will be made for students with proper documentation from a medical provider. The documentation will be routed to the school nurse who will then document the accommodation in PowerSchool. Prior arrangements, based on a team decision, for students enrolled in special populations will be honored. The decision by the building administrator(s) about an acceptable mask is final. Violations of these requirements will lead to disciplinary action.
