A message from the Superintendent
Weekly Communication
June 6, 2024
Greetings PV Families,
Tomorrow marks the first of our end-of-year half days for students, signaling the final countdown to the last day of school on Tuesday, June 11. As we conclude the 23-24 academic year, we are taking time to reflect on the year's events and celebrate our many accomplishments. The end of the year is also filled with celebrations! Today, we upheld one of our most cherished traditions, the Senior Walk, where our seniors visit their former elementary and middle schools. Students and staff enthusiastically greeted the graduates, offering their congratulations.
PV's graduation ceremony will be held tomorrow night in the Thomas J. Keenan Stadium at 7:00. The event can be viewed live at: PVHS 55th Commencement.
As we wrap up this incredible year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and partnership throughout this academic year. Your involvement has been crucial in fostering a positive and enriching environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Russell, Ed.D.
Superintendent
