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

• 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.

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!

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 love our volunteers at PVE and want to continue to partner together! Our district office has been working hard to clarify information. As of Wednesday afternoon, the final decision about volunteers has been made. We are back to the original expectation.

• All Volunteers need to read the Volunteer Handbook
• Volunteers need complete the following 3 forms and return to the school’s office.
  
• Volunteer Application
• Volunteer Disclosure Statement
• Volunteer Acknowledgement Statement

Thank you for being patient as we worked through the communication process with the district.

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.

If your child is absent for any reason, please make sure you communicate with BOTH the front office and your child's teacher. The best way to communicate preplanned absences is with an email to hill.jenene@westada.org, davis.judy@westada.org, and your child's teacher's email.

If your child has an appointment that causes them to be late, leave early, or miss a day, please get a note from your provider and we can code the absence correctly.

If the absence is last minute, please contact the office at 208-350-4490. You may leave a message any time day or night outside our business hours.

It's very important that you and your child review and understand the West Ada Dress Code Policy before the first day of school to avoid any possible disciplinary actions. To review the dress code in its entirety, please click here.

*Please note the detail about no hats at elementary. These may only be worn outside.

We are already experiencing some issue with smart watches/phones. Please remember:

• You may not contact your child through their device during school hours. This is an interruption to the learning environment.
• Phones should be turned off and watches in school mode or do not disturb mode while students are at school.
• Students may not contact parents on their device. All calls for medical will go through the health office. Other concerns will be handled with staff.

There have been many questions about birthdays and birthday treats. At PVE, we love celebrating our students, and our teachers have their systems in place to recognize our students, but we also ask that you follow the plan we have set.

• NO FOOD will be distributed. Due to the National Health Policy, district request, allergies, and other health issues, we will not be accepting food items. (Please know we will turn those away if they come to the building.)
• Pencils and erasers are always needed, used, and loved by students.
• Think about donating a book or game in your child's honor to the classroom this year.
• Reverse the birthday celebration and have the student recognize their peers with notes of thanks.

Our teachers will make your child feel special on their day. And for those students who have summer birthdays, we will also recognize them. Your child's teacher will share how that will happen in their room.

Also, no deliveries of gift, balloons, or flowers to students will be made. (Please see the Elementary Handbook.)

Thank you for supporting this policy at PVE!
