Hello PVA families!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year and our SECOND year at Peakview Academy!

I hope you have had a wonderful summer! I enjoyed some great time with my family and catching up with friends - I cannot wait to hear all about your adventures this summer, I have heard that many of you had memorable experiences near and far!

Year two at PVA is sure to be filled with many memorable moments for each of our learners and members of our community. We are excited to work together with you to ensure that we empower, challenge, and inspire ALL learners to Dream Big!

In just a few days many of our staff will come together for our first PVA Fall Retreat! This unique opportunity will allow us to begin designing our culture and climate with intention so that we can all be our best and inspire our learners to do the same. The culture of a school reflects its heart, and this is what brings us together. When things go well, and stuff gets hard, it's the culture and the relationships that we lean into that allow us to be successful. The power of relationships is a strong value of mine, and in all of the years that I have been a school leader, this belief has never steered me wrong. I look forward to working with each of you to come together to build strong relationships within our school community!

Please do not hesitate to contact me, Vivian Pankow our Assistant principal, or any member of the Welcome Center team with any questions you may have.

We encourage you to stay connected with us on Facebook, Instagram and our Website.

Enjoy the rest of your summer - see you all soon!

Valerie Lara-Black,

Principal - Peakview Academy at Conrad Ball

Do you qualify for Free & Reduced Meal Benefits?

ALL families are still asked to fill out an application. Why? The Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on income information to support meals for all students. Other state and federal grants are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates.

Additionally, families that qualify may receive discounted or waived fees for programs inside and outside of the school district.

Instructional Fees

The instructional materials fee is charged to each student annually. This money is utilized for buying textbooks and extracurricular materials for our school, replacing old materials, or replenishing items students use.

Middle Level Exploration Class Fees

These fees are charged to students participating in specific classes and activities. This fee is based on the cost of materials and supplies that have been depleted and need to be replenished.

Middle Level Athletic Fees

The Athletic fee helps to support referees, transportation, equipment and uniforms.

Tech4All Damage/Loss Fine

If a student's device gets lost or damaged and turned in for repair, any costs incurred will be charged to the student’s account.

Traditionally known as a PTO or PTA, this group will support the school-wide community through children's activities, family events, and fundraisers, while also advising PVA's school leadership, organizing volunteer opportunities, supporting teachers, arranging teacher meals for conferences, and more!

Join us for our next meeting:

Tuesday, September 10th - 5:30-7:00pm in the PVA Collaboratory

Within our short time so far as a school, we have worked hard 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 2024-2025 school year. Please review the handbook as necessary.
