Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) testing is fast approaching! Our 3rd through 8th grader students will be taking the state assessments from April 9th through April 26th. All 3rd - 8th grade students will test for ELA (English Language Arts) and Math, while 5th grade and 8th grade students will also be testing for Science.

Our students have been diligently preparing for the CMAS state testing, showcasing their knowledge and skills across various subjects. We are immensely proud of their hard work and dedication. Let's continue to support and encourage them as they embark on this important assessment journey.

Elementary Student Testing Dates:

Middle Level Student Testing Dates:

As we anticipate this testing season, please continue to build healthy habits with your student so they are prepared. Some essential habits include:

• Going to bed early to ensure 8-10 hours of sleep each night
• Eating a nutritious, filling breakfast every morning
• Arriving at school on time each day
• Limiting screen time before bed to ensure a restful sleep

Celebrate by wearing your tie-dye to recognize how we are all blended together!

Within our short time so far as a school, we have worked had 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 2023-2024 school year. Please review the handbook as necessary.
