PVE Families,

Pleasant View Elementary is working to become a High Reliability School while we work to build the culture and structure of this building and team. We are asking you to please give your honest feedback to help improve our practices and allow our staff to make well-informed decisions.

We know you may not have a clear understanding of certain items asked, but we want your general perception. The Neither disagree nor agree will capture those who are unsure. Again, this is just for our leadership team to gather some initial information that will help us with follow ups for families or make changes to practices. Also, this information is specific to the building and its practices, not the district.

This is 38 quick questions and may take about 3-5 minutes to complete, but we do ask for your voice. Please complete this survey by March 3 at 4:30.

Again, thank you for give up a bit of time and sharing your voice!

PARENT SURVEY

WOW! Thank you for the overwhelming generosity this community has shown. I know the students had a great time competing against one another, but the most important piece of this event is the impact this will have on members of the community who are needing a hand up! So, again, THANK YOU for sharing your generosity with this community, for supporting your child with friendly competition, and for helping PVE makes it mark in this community. We are blown away by our families!

KINDNESS BINGO BOARD

There is still another week left to work on the Kindness Bingo! Our board is beginning to fill up and several students have already completed a black out! Students may turn in their completed boards to their teacher until Feb 26.

WRITTEN IN THE HEART (A school building activity)

Students and staff will have an opportunity to recognize others with positive notes of affirmation or recognition of random acts of kindness. These will be posted around the door frames of the classroom. As those areas fill, we will post additional hearts around the windows in the office area and gym.

Parents, if you want to get in the act, please feel free to cut out your own heart, fill it out, and send it in. We are looking forward to filling the halls of this building with love.

It is time for the annual District Art Show artwork projects to start. This year's theme is “Art as Escape”

Artwork and artist statements must reflect the theme to be considered for additional community awards. If your child is interests in participating, please see the attached documents. All entries must be received to the front office by March 1. Only ONE piece of art will be sent to the district office for the art show. All other pieces submitted will be displayed at the building.

*The art show awards reception is tentatively set for Thursday, April 22rd. As we get closer to that date in the spring, we will determine if it will be an in-person or virtual event depending on the current Covid-19 situation.

Congratulations to this group of students who had their Pronghorn Pride Ticket drawn today. These students were caught either modeling a school-wide expectation or showing ownership for their learning. Way to be #PronghornStrong!

*Students gathered for the photo for less than 1 minute and then distanced themselves.

As the year continues to progress, please make sure your child has the supplies needed. Teachers have been asked to request individual supplies for students who may be out of the materials required for school. The only supplies the teachers may request are the items from the school supply list. If your child is low or out of a needed supply and there is a hardship in your family, please contact our school counselor, Shirlynn Maddox.

We are seeing a large influx of tardies and would like your help to make sure students are at school and in their seat by 9:10 am. If your child is eating breakfast in the am, please be sure to get your child here by 8:45 am to allow for plenty of time to eat. All students are expected to be in the classroom by 9:10 am, and the kitchen closes to transition to make lunch at this time.

Also, if your child has an appointment during school hours, please be sure to get an appointment slip. Those slips should be summited to the office to change the attendance code and waive the absence or tardy.

We appreciate your help with these two matters. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to Amy Senethavilay or Judy Davis.

The COVID-19 interactive tool allows students and staff to report positive cases, track symptoms, and seek guidance. You will go to the appropriate school website and click the button on the left hand side. Please select your school in the list below to fill out the appropriate form for each individual.

Nurse Carrie will then uses this form each day to gather some basic information and prepare to call parents.

If you or your child has any symptoms, please keep your child home and complete the form. You may call the front office at 350-4490 to report the absence, or please feel free to email davis.judy@westada.org at any time. Nurse Carrie will then follow up with you within 24-48 hours. If you are simply needing to follow up with our nurse regarding a discussion already held, please send an email to allumbaugh.carrie@westada.org. She will then follow up as time allows.

Thank you for helping us work through this system. This will allow our nurse to also care for students with other medical needs.

Parents, I know you have not been to the building for activities this year, but if you happen to have an amazing picture from the school, an event, or even of your child working at home during remote learning time and you would like to share it with our Yearbook Committee, we would appreciate those pictures.

Please email those picture in original size to PleasantViewPTAYearbook@gmail.com
