PV WEEKLY

Even though it was only two days, it was quite a first week at PV. We experienced the new schedule, the opening Panther Period, and had our first 8th grade class meeting today (7th grade will be on Monday and 6th grade on Tuesday). It really was great to have the classrooms and halls filled with our students again.

There are many exciting events planned for this school year and we look forward to celebrating all of our students' accomplishments in the coming months. In case you missed the welcome back letter last week, please find it here: PV Welcome Back Letter

There are several important items in the letter along with sign off information for parents in Realtime. Enjoy the weekend and we will see everyone back here on Monday.

Please review the following update which can also be found on page 18 of the student handbook. Students are eligible to qualify for the honor roll for each marking period at PV School. The following criteria has been established:

High Honor Roll:

All grades must be 90 and above

Honor Roll:

All grades must be 83 and above

PV School is pleased to have our annual Back to School Night on Thursday, September 19th. The program will begin at 7:00. Prevention is Key will host “Hidden in Plain Sight” starting at 6:15 in the PV Cafeteria. This is not a presentation so parents can come through anytime between 6:15-7:00 or throughout the evening and learn more about the dangers of vaping and other substances. We hosted this at last year's Back to School Night and it was very well received.

School photos for Grades 6-8 will take place on September 17th and 18th in all Physical Education/Health classes. Please have your children dress appropriately, as these pictures will be used for the yearbook and for their photo identification cards.

The first HSA dine out event of the year is set for October 23rd at Jersey Mike’s in Lincoln Park from 5:00-9:00. Rumor has it that Dr. Portas, Ms. Ringen, and Mr. Seborowski might be making sandwiches that night.

We have adjusted the student handbook to reflect the new schedule as well as general procedures. Please be sure to read it with your child: 24-25 PV Student Handbook

Please see below for the new schedule at PV along with some helpful information.

• All students must be in their homeroom by 7:50 in order to not be considered tardy to school.
• Classes will be 49 minutes with the exception of Period 6 which will be 42 minutes.
• Period 6 will be known as the "Panther Period" and will be a reinforcement block of time where students will meet with each of their core subject teachers as well as PE on a rotating basis. This will be explained in greater detail prior to the start of school.
• Students will be dismissed from school at 2:32 each day.
• If a student is involved in a sport, club, has detention, or is meeting with a teacher, they will report to the cafeteria from 2:32-2:48. The final bell of the day will ring at 2:48 and students may proceed to their activity at that time. All other students must dismiss from the building at 2:32.

See the document below for information on lunch services provided at PV.

The first social event of the year is the 6th Grade Night. This will take place at PV on Friday, September 19th from 5:00-6:30. This event is for 6th graders only. More information to follow.
