Thank a Teacher, Spread the Love this Valentine's Day!

Teaching is a work of heart, and our incredible teachers across West Ada School District give their all to inspire, nurture, and empower our students every day!

This Valentine's Day, show your appreciation by making a donation to the West Ada School District Education Foundation. Every dollar goes directly into the classroom, providing new resources and enriching experiences for your child and their peers!

Let’s make a difference together! https://www.westada.org/page/thank-a-teacher?fbclid=IwY2xjawH2F-VleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHXR3CvAkjjlLOk9D7QzAG8kj779v6wB3hbpLBfGhuFLhof-DjC1Owzc8MQ_aem_Xj_MDFUWx-K4UJWnmig9yg

Congratulations to this group of students who received recognition for being a great example of what it means to be a PVE Pronghorn. These students were caught modeling a school-wide expectation. Way to be #PronghornStrong!

It is time for the annual District Art Show artwork projects to begin. The District Art Show is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

Submissions for this competition are due to the front office by February 7, 2025.

This year, the theme for elementary will be “Celebrate Idaho.”

*Please note: PVE may only send ONE piece to the district office for the art show, so we will narrow down the submission and have staff and student voting to help chose our winning piece to represent PVE.

**Please make sure you follow the district guidelines for the submission and do not place student name on the front of the piece. Use buttons below for all information.

Just a reminder! You should have received an email containing information about your student's academic and assessment progress from the first half of the school year. The email comes from westada-registration=phoenixlearning.com@powerschool.westada.org and will contain a secure link to a report card document. It will also contain steps on how to access the assessment progress report in your PowerSchool account.

Your email provider may see this email as spam, so if you do not receive it in your Inbox by this weekend, check your Spam/Junk folder. If you do not receive an email at all, you can access the information without the email by going into your PowerSchool account and clicking on "Historical Documents". Academic progress will be in the "Report Cards and Transcripts" folder. Assessment progress will be in the "Learning Progress" folder. Emails will be sent to contacts in SchoolForms. If no email arrives, please check that your email is accurate in SchoolForms.

To access your student's progress report, select "Historical Documents" in PowerSchool (see image below).

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S PROGRESS, PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER.

We have been seeing many families utilizing the handicap spaces throughout the day. Please make sure you are only using these areas if you truly need this accommodation, as we have had employees and guest who need this support unable to access these spaces.

We appreciate your help and support with this matter.

PVE Families,

We are having a special additional online Spirit Store open this month! We have had a lot of requests from new PVE families and those that missed the opportunity last August. So it is now open through Jan 26th! Here is the link to purchase and items will be delivered to the classrooms in late February or early March. https://pvespiritwear2025.itemorder.com/shop/home/

With cold and flu season upon us, here are some quick reminders for when students should remain home:

• Fever greater than 100.0 degrees: A fever lets us know that our body is fighting an infection. We are contagious during this time and need rest. Students should be fever free for at least 24 hours, without fever reducing medication, before returning to school.

• Vomiting and/or diarrhea: Students should stay home for 24 hours without vomiting diarrhea before returning to school to make sure they can keep food/liquids down.

• Sore throat with a fever greater than 100.0 degrees: Students should stay home until they are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. If they are diagnosed with Strep throat, then they should stay home until they have been on the prescribed antibiotics and are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.

• Students should stay home if they have a new onset persistent cough in which they are coughing so much it keeps them from participating in class or disrupts their classmates. Student may return when their cough is no longer disruptive to the educational environment and/or the student is cleared to return to school by their health care provider.

*There may be exceptions. Please contact your school nurse with any questions.
