GROWING TOGETHER, LEARNING FOREVER
PRONGHORN PRIDE
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!
LOST AND FOUND WILL BE DONATED OCTOBER 11
Due to the large population and lack of space, Lost and Found will be cleared out the last Friday of every month. We will bag and keep for about a week before these are donated. *Water bottles and lunch boxes will be thrown away weekly.
Thank you for helping to check Lost and Found regularly.
SAFETY
Emergency Safety Drills
At Pleasant View, the safety and welfare of our students and staff are our highest priority, which is why we teach and practice safety drills throughout the school year. On October 9, the Meridian Police Department will join us in conducting a lockdown drill. These drills allow us to evaluate our plans and improve our response skills. Please do not be alarmed if you see several police vehicles in our parking lot during the drill.
If you have any questions or need further information about our safety drills, please feel free to contact us. We thank you in advance for your support in this matter.
ATTENDANCE
New this year, we have an automated system for calls! Don't worry, we are still answering calls as the first option; we know talking to someone right away is important. However, after business hours our phone to immediately change to an automated system. During business hours, the automated voicemail system will pick up after 4 rings, indicating that the front office staff is either on the phone or helping someone in the office.
You will have the option of the following when the automated system answers:
Press 1 for Office
Press 2 for Attendance
Press 3 for Health Office
Press 4 for Transportation
If you are simply calling to report your child's attendance, you may call 208-350-4498.
IF YOUR CHILD IS TO BE ABSENT 3 OR MORE DAYS...
We have shared the importance of daily attendance but know that absences do occur. If your child is going to be absent for more than 2 days, please make sure you connect with the office right away.
To help support their continued learning during this time, we will provide an independent study document for you to sign, along with tasks for your child to complete. Each grade level has prepared a set of assignments for the independent study form. While these assignments do not replace the core instruction your child will miss, they are designed to support their ongoing learning.
Please note, your child will still be responsible for completing any missed work upon their return.

UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS
Save My Family events are geared to provide parents/guardians with the tools, insights, and resources to better enable them to understand several of the major forces that are impacting kids’ psychological, emotional, and physical well-being.
Save My Family has assembled a panel of experts to provide training and inspiration on how to successfully navigate the waters that kids and teens are caught in. Be enlightened by the experts including Officer Gomez, Former FBI Agent Hart, pediatric neurologist, Dr. Condie and event coordinator Kelli Rich. They’ll discuss social media, drugs, addiction, and other issues parents/guardians need to know to keep kids safe.
All parents/guardians are invited. All kids ages 12* (ish) and older, or any age with a smartphone, are encouraged to accompany parents. *This discussion will include topics that may be difficult for small children.
