Parents - while on duty this morning at the Renhold/Lichfield loop, I observed many parents blocking the driveways. When dropping off and picking up your students, please DO NOT block the driveways in the neighborhood. Thank you!

*Please note this situation is not only in regard to this area. We ask that you be respectful of the neighbors surrounding our school.

I have been in touch with our Chief Operations Officer for West Ada to get an update on the signal. The materials have arrived, and the next step is in the works. Please see the statement below for the update.

We are planning to go out to bid next week for the contractor to complete the work, with approval of the contractor at the first board meeting in March. Once the construction contractor is chosen, I can then identify with them when the physical construction will occur at the site. I will reach back out in mid-March with who the contractor is that was chosen and when we anticipate them breaking ground.

Please note that students have 20 minutes designated for eating with additional time during recess for those who need more time. The staff encourages all students to eat and to ensure they have plenty of time. However, students are ultimately responsible for eating. If you are concerned your child is not eating or is extremely hungry because they are in a rush for recess, please talk with your child. We will continue to encourage good eating habits.

Please note, the lunch balance for unpaid lunches at PVE is grown significantly. If you are not able to afford lunch for your child, or if you are struggling and need a hand up, please be sure to apply for meals today.

Congratulations to this group of students who received recognition after not only receiving a Pronghorn Pride Ticket, but for also being selected to represent their peers. These students were caught either modeling a school-wide expectation or showing ownership for their learning. Way to be #PronghornStrong!

Pleasant View Elementary is participating in the Roaring Readers program as partnership with Roaring Springs Waterpark. This program encourages your child to read on a consistent basis. A log is included for students to record their reading times.

Students K-4 are encouraged to read 600 minutes and 5th grades goal is 800 minutes. By participating in this reading program your child will be rewarded a FREE day ticket to Roaring Springs Waterpark!

All entries need to be turned in to their teacher no later than March 27th, 2023.

Happy Reading!

We are looking for a few parents who are open to volunteering at lunch to help run football, basketball, and soccer games. As much as students love playing these games here at school, playing for fun and refereeing themselves is often difficult. However, when the adults can help interact and support, our students LOVE IT. So... here is your chance to join us and engage in some great kid time.

Please click the SIGN UP link. This sign-up list will take us through the end of February.

Welcome! Please check out the welcome newsletter filled with important details about PVE!
