Dear PV Families,
Happy Friday! As we go off to the 3-day weekend, I want us to take a moment to recognize and reflect on the significance of the Memorial Day Weekend.
Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a time for us to honor and remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. It's a day to pay tribute to the heroes who have protected our freedoms and to express our gratitude for their selfless dedication.
Whether you spend the day with family, participate in local memorial services, or simply take a moment of silence, let's all remember and appreciate the valor and sacrifices of our fallen soldiers.
Wishing everyone a reflective and meaningful Memorial Day.
Please see below for pics of the week, upcoming events and announcements.

Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month
Formerly known as Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage month, the name change in 2022 wished to highlight the many unique cultures and diverse experiences people identifying as AANHPI have even though these groups are often lumped together as “Asian.”

Important message from the health office
As this school year comes to a close, this is a friendly reminder that any student with medication at school will need to be picked up from the health office no later than the last day of school, Thursday June 13th. Medication that is not picked up by the last day of school will be discarded.
In planning for next year, we have enclosed an authorization to administer medication form for your student for the 2024-2025 school year. This is necessary for any student who will require medication during school hours. The state of Connecticut requires medications to be renewed by an authorized prescriber (i.e. physician, dentist, optometrist, APRN, PA) every year for each medication.
Bus transportation for next school year
A completed transportation form is required for all SWPS students, except for Role Model POP children. This electronic form can be found by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Portal account, located in the "Forms" section. If you have any difficulty in accessing your account, please contact the school's main office for assistance.
Bus stops are determined by this form therefore, it is extremely important this form is completed no later than June 30th to allow for the timely creation of the 2024-2025 bus routes. Please know this form can be updated and/or changed at any time however, no changes will be processed between the moratorium dates of 8/21/24 to 9/04/24. Please allow five (5) days to process any changes.
