Peakview Academy

Hello PVA Families!

Fall is in the air and it is a busy time at Peakview Academy!

This is the time of year that learners and staff are deep into the process of starting their performance goals for the year. These goals can be academic, social, behavioral or extra-curricular. Please take a few minutes to talk to your learners about the goals they are working on in school and come up with a plan together on how you can support their abilities to go "Beyond Barriers" this semester!

Dear Families,

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect

with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent

reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to

shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family

can add funds.

When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called

Share the FairTM. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books

from the Fair.

Would you like to volunteer at the PVA Book Fair? Please reach out to our Library/Media Assistant: Lorelei Plagman at lorelei.plagman@tsd.org

A HUGE "Thank You" to our Lynx Laps Sponsors! Without your support, this event would not be possible!!

• Scheels
• Discover Life Chiropractic
• World by the Tail
• Jack Jack's 4th Street Market

Dear Parents,

The Koenig-Holmberg Family McDonald’s is proud to support local schools by partnering with Digital McTeacher’s Night® on Tuesday, October 29th from 4pm-7pm.

During the event, McDonald’s at 209 E 29th Street, Loveland will donate 40% of digital sales back to Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball!

The Koenig-Holmberg Family McDonald’s has a commitment to education in our local community and values the vital role that educators play in inspiring our youth. We cannot wait to support Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball with this event.

How does it work? Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball will receive a 40% donation of digital sales

generated during the night – this includes all orders completed on the McDonald’s App or using the in-store digital kiosks.

Through the McDonald’s App, you can order and pay ahead of time and then pick up in Drive Thru, Curbside or Inside. Even better, you can use our daily offers like 20% off your entire order

or Free Medium Fries with $1 Purchase (both are ONLY available in the McDonald’s App)!

Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball McTeacher’s Night®

From 4pm-7pm at the McDonald’s located at 209 E. 29th Street, Loveland CO

The more you promote McTeacher’s Night® the more successful it will be!

So be sure to invite other family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Community participation is crucial for the success of your school’s program.

We encourage you to download the McDonald’s App in advance of the event. For an even better

experience, you can place your order before heading to the restaurant and we will begin preparing it

before you arrive, so it minimizes your wait time (assuming you link a payment method and have

location services turned “on”, so we know when to start your order).

Since it is Halloween Week, we cannot wait to see your family’s costumes!

Our restaurant teams will have some extra surprises to make the night even more exciting.

If you have any questions, please contact your school principal or your child’s teacher.

Please support your children’s educators and your school by attending this event.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Sharon and Gary Koenig & Lauren Holmberg

McDonald’s Owners, Loveland

Children and adolescents are not consuming enough water, instead opting for sugar-sweetened beverages (sodas, sports and energy drinks, milks, coffees, and fruit-flavored drinks with added sugars), 100% fruit juice, and other beverages. Drinking sufficient amounts of water can lead to improved weight status, reduced dental disease, and improved cognition among children and adolescents. (National Institutes of Health)

Please remind your learner to bring water-only beverages to have available in the classroom throughout the day.

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.
