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!

BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR

Our neighbors often voice concerns regarding speeding, trash in yards, and people parking in the driveways of others. We ask that you help us to be good neighbors. We know parents are dropping off and picking up in other areas of the neighborhood and that the pick-up line can back up and cause traffic to block neighbors.

PLEASE make sure you are:

• Leaving crosswalks open
• Do not block hydrants, driveways, or mailboxes
• SLOWING downs and be extra vigilant about students and bikes

*Please remember that driveways are personal property, and you should not be parking and waiting for your child in someone's driveway, nor should you be blocking a driveway. Although these are public streets, we would like to make sure PVE is in good standing with our surrounding neighbors.

For students’ safety, Parents are required to sign a student out at the office when removing them from school.

• Students will remain in the classroom until Parents arrive to maximize instructional time. We will not call students down to the office until a parent is here to sign them out.
• When anyone other than a Parent is picking up a student, they MUST have a note from a Parent. The school may contact the parent to confirm the Parent’s request.
• A Parent may also call the office and authorize the person listed as an emergency contact to pick up their student.
• Schools use Raptor as a security measure when students check in or out of school during the day.
• Picture ID will be required for anyone picking up a student

Once again, we are asking for any help we can get. This school is in desperate need of Noon Duties and TWO more paras.

For noon duty, if you can help consistently anywhere from one day a week to the entire week, please let us know.

1. Noon Duty West Ada School District - Employment Application (applitrack.com)

2. Paras needed for ERR.

Come join this amazing staff!

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.

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.

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.
