Our Pronghorn Pacers Running Club will kick off on Wednesday, October 4th. We are excited to get running and have lots of surprises in store. I will be sharing this with students in the upcoming weeks, but in the meantime... I am looking for some parent volunteers that would be willing to help from 2:15-3:15 on Wednesdays and Fridays. During this time, you would be monitoring students running and making sure their badges are getting scanned correctly.

If you are interested, please click on the volunteer button below to fill out the form. I will be in contact with you when the schedule is finalized. Thank you in advance for all your support.

Looking for events happening in the community? Please check the West Ada School District Community Bulletin Board for postings.

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!

This year we are introducing our new Learner Power Recognition Awards and Celebration. Our staff is focused on recognizing students who exhibit the learner powers we have identified to help students take ownership of their learning. This year, we will be letting not only the students know who they are, but also inviting parents to come circle up with the staff in the cafeteria to recognize these students and thank them for being such great examples. During this time, we will call all students to jog the circle for a high five and then let you and your child enjoy a little morning treat.

If your child is selected, you will receive a personal invitation from your child's teacher inviting you to join us on the given date of the celebration. (This event will last for no more than 30 minutes, and our staff will join for the first 5-10 minutes to celebrate together before letting you and your child enjoy.)

We are looking forward to the first celebration the end of this month!

Fall is here, and it is once again time to start thinking about school portraits. Parker Portraits will be at PVE for picture day on Thursday, September 28, 2023.

The information to order pictures online is in Friday Folders TODAY. This will allow you to preordering picture packets. Preordered packets must be submitted by the end of the day, September 28. Any picture packet orders after September 28th will be subject to shipping and handling charges.

Please remember that each packet contains a specific code for each child. Should you lose this code and need support for any reason, please contact the front office at 208-350-4490.

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.

Just a friendly ask as we work to be good neighbors at PVE.

Please do not leave your car idling while waiting in the pick up line if you arrive early or while waiting in front of neighbors homes.

Please make sure you have turned on the notification in the Ride 360 App. This allows Cascade Transportation to share changes to bus numbers and delays. You are also asked to make sure you have registered for the bus if you would like your child to ride and qualify for this service.

We are still in need of help for the following positions:

• 1 Noon Duty M/W/F
• Crossing Guard for Gondola in front of the school (AM ONLY)
• Para for 17.5 hours (Monday-Thursday from 1:15-4:15 and Friday all day)

This is a great group of people with whom to work. Come join our team and enjoy time with the amazing students we have the privilege of supporting. To apply, go to Recruitment & Retention | West Ada School District and all district opening. If you need support, please contact Amy or the front office staff.

Please get in touch with the office before 3:00 for any last-minute changes at the end of the day, so we have plenty of time to communicate with staff members. (If preplanned, please email both the teacher and office.)

If you are coming in at the end of the day to check out a student, please note we will not call students down after 3:45 pm. They are already cleaning up and transitioning for release at the end of the day.

Thank you for being so understanding!

Dear PVE Families,

At Pleasant View, the safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priority, which is why we teach and practice safety drills throughout the school year. On October 4, the Meridian Police Department will join us in conducting a lockdown drill. These drills allow us to evaluate our plans and improve our response skills. Please do not be alarmed if you see several police vehicles in our parking lot during the drill.

If you have any questions or need further information about our safety drills, please feel free to contact us. We thank you in advance for your support in this matter.

Sincerely,

Amy Senethavilay, Principal
