Congratulations to this group of students who received recognition for being a great example of what it means to be a PVE Pronghorn. These students were caught modeling a school-wide expectation. Way to be #PronghornStrong!

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.

We also ask that you check those road conditions daily and give yourself plenty of time to get to school timely and safely when the roads are slick.

Some gentle reminders about checking students out:

1. Please make sure you have your ID. Our system has had an update and will require your ID.

2. Plan accordingly for time. Students will not be called out of class prior to your arrival to the building.

3. If students are at recess, we ask that you prepare to pick them up either before or after this time. Our duties are busy watching students for safety and when we radio for them to look for a student, those eyes and supervision is taken away. (Therefore, we will not be calling for students while they are at their recess.)

We appreciate your help and support with this need.

Beginning Monday, first grade will begin going to lunch at 11:25 and returning to their classroom at 12:05. We will make the adjustments to the master schedule, but want parents aware of the change

Due to the large population and lack of space, Lost and Found will be cleared out the last Friday of every month. We will bag and keep for about a week before these are donated. *Water bottles and lunch boxes will be thrown away weekly.

Thank you for helping to check Lost and Found regularly.

Pleasant View Night at the Idaho Steelheads is Fri Feb 7th this year! Want to purchase tickets for a family Christmas gift? Here is how you do it! See attached flyer, or go here - https://fevo-enterprise.com/event/Pleasantview5 to purchase within our PVE block. Tickets are $20 and includes hot dog, chips and soda. Plus the Steelheads will donate back to us $5 for each ticket! Last year this was a blast to have PVE families all sitting together.

New this year, we have an automated system for calls! Don't worry, we are still answering calls as the first option; we know talking to someone right away is important. However, after business hours our phone to immediately change to an automated system. During business hours, the automated voicemail system will pick up after 4 rings, indicating that the front office staff is either on the phone or helping someone in the office.

You will have the option of the following when the automated system answers:

Press 1 for Office

Press 2 for Attendance

Press 3 for Health Office

Press 4 for Transportation

If you are simply calling to report your child's attendance, you may call 208-350-4498.

We have shared the importance of daily attendance but know that absences do occur. If your child is going to be absent for more than 2 days, please make sure you connect with the office right away.

To help support their continued learning during this time, we will provide an independent study document for you to sign, along with tasks for your child to complete. Each grade level has prepared a set of assignments for the independent study form. While these assignments do not replace the core instruction your child will miss, they are designed to support their ongoing learning.

Please note, your child will still be responsible for completing any missed work upon their return.
