Pleasant Valley Family Newsletter

Pleasant Valley Elementary School 2024-25

Dear PV Families,

What a fantastic first week of school! Our building was buzzing with excitement and joy, thanks to our amazing staff who welcomed our students back in grand fashion. A special thanks to our PTO for treating our staff to lunch and treats, as well as providing our students with popsicles with the Principal.

We successfully held our first fire drill on Thursday, August 29th, and I couldn't be prouder of our students for their excellent behavior during the drill. Below, you can enjoy some pictures capturing the highlights of our first week.

We have an exciting lineup of activities and events coming up at our school, so please be sure to read through to the end of the newsletter for important announcements, upcoming events, and essential links, including our PTO website, volunteer opportunities at PV, job openings in South Windsor, a message from our nurses, and more.

We look forward to seeing our students back on Tuesday, September 3rd. Wishing you all a wonderful three-day weekend!

Sincerely,

Esther & Jenna
