Greetings to All of our Spur Families,

Please know that you are now able to access the 1st semester's report cards and grades in Skyward. If you have any questions or concerns about grades, please contact your child's teacher. We had a "glitch" in our system, so we apologize for just realizing our report cards were not yet published for you.

A special thank you goes to all of you who supported the Spurs this week for Science Night and for our kindergarten and 4th grade field trips on Thursday. A special thank you to the teachers and staff who supported our night of science learning. Also, a special thank you to the organizers of our field trips and for the chaperones. We appreciate all the opportunities for our children.

A shoutout to our Spur PTA for the "hot chocolate" treat for our students on today. Everyone really enjoyed the treat. If you have not yet joined our Spur PTA, please take time today to join. This organization is a great support for our children and staff.

Quick reminder--Picture Retakes are on Wednesday, January 29. We will also be taking pictures of our "new students" who arrived after the fall picture date. There is more information below. Also, January 29th is the 100th DAY OF SCHOOL!!

PVMS Counselors will be on our campus on January 31 to talk to our 5th graders about 6th grade course selection. They will need a parent signature on their course selection form before they submit it for next year. Please have them return it to school once it has been signed by you.

All 5th graders are invited to attend a parent information session on Monday, February 3 at 6 pm in the PVMS cafeteria.

If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to reach out to our administration team. We are here to serve!

Spur Proud,

Mrs. Liz Hatley and Dr. Linda Parker, Interim Principals, and Mrs. Destiny Womack, Assistant Principal

Dear Parents,

If your child missed the original picture day or needs a retake, make sure to let their teacher know in writing (email or handwritten note) that you would like to have a Retake Picture made. This is your opportunity to have their picture taken for the yearbook.
