Hello PVA Families!
It has been wonderful seeing so many of you at our community events this fall!
We know this season can be busy, so we truly appreciate you joining us for Fall Conferences, cheering on our fall sports athletes, and taking part in our Trick-or-Treat Street celebration!
As we move into the rest of the semester, there will be many exciting learning opportunities for our PVA Lynx, and we look forward to welcoming each child, each day.
With more events coming up soon, we hope to see all of you there!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING BUSSING IN NOVEMBER
Hello TSD Families,
The Thompson School District Transportation team would like to update you about staffing levels in our department and on upcoming district adjustments to transportation for the 2024-25 school year. As you may be aware, over the past few years, we have experienced staffing shortages at a level that we have not reached in quite some time, if ever. Last year, this brought our department and district to the difficult point of having to adjust transportation services.
Each day, our district transportation staff works hard to transport students to and from school and to provide transportation service for activity trips, support services and other special events. Our staff members are committed to do their very best to provide excellent and efficient service for our district.
We have increased our staffing and remain committed to growing our team but in order to maintain a sustainable level of service, we will need to place scheduled holds on certain transportation routes during the school year.
Please note the following important information, which may have an impact on your student and family.
Scheduled transportation route holds will hold/cancel services for 1 route daily on a 7 day (school days) rolling schedule, with the goal of impacting any specific route/school/community as little as possible. During these dates there will be no transportation services for the scheduled route. The information/schedule below shows the schedule and dates for the routes/schools that will be impacted for your students.

Please rest assured that our transportation team will continue to take all steps possible to keep disruptions to a minimum, while we also continue to work to address these staffing challenges. We fully recognize that these adjustments will create significant challenges for the students and families we serve and we will work diligently to keep these adjustments to a minimum.
We understand that you may have questions about this process. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our transportation department dispatch office at 970-613-5185 with any questions you have or for any information about your student’s transportation services.
Sincerely,
The Thompson School District Transportation Team
Matt Payne
Director of Transportation

Notes from the Health Office
Just a reminder: If your child needs immunizations, the deadline to avoid exclusion from school is November 22nd. To ensure your student remains compliant, please use one of the following methods:
- Provide the PVA Health Office with your child’s up-to-date immunization record.
- Share an in-process plan with the PVA Health Office detailing when the vaccine(s) will be administered.
- Complete vaccination exemption module online at: https://www.dcphrapps.dphe.state.co.us/storyline360/story.html
Students should stay out of school for 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting, diarrhea, or fever (without using fever-reducing medications), and can return when symptom free.

Peakview Academy Student & Family Handbook 2024-2025
Within our short time so far as a school, we have worked hard to develop systems, structures, procedures, and policies that will support our school in being the best that it can be to achieve its vision and mission. As we have developed the systems, structures, procedures, and policies, we have created a PVA Student & Family Handbook for the 2024-2025 school year. Please review the handbook as necessary.
