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

The District Art Show is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 21, 2022. This year, the theme for Elementary will be “Childhood Dreams.” If your child would like to work on a submission at home, those will be due to the PVE Front Office by February 18. Only ONE piece will be selected from the building to be submitted to the District Art Competition. The PVE staff will vote on the final piece to submit.

Below are the links to the Guidelines and Entry Form.

THANK YOU! Your generous donations have covered the Wagons Ho event for our Fourth Grade. We will be excited to share pictures from the even after February 4th.

Our hearts are full!

Just another friendly reminder: We have recently gone through a large number of water bottles. Please make sure your child has a water bottle with them each day.

(We have very few water bottles available for students who forget. Donations accepted.)

Please be sure to call into the office or email Jenene Hill at hill.jenene@westada.org if your child is out absent.

If your child has an appointment, please be sure to get a verification form from the provider to allow the school to change the coding for attendance. If your child has a standing appointment weekly/monthly, you can get the letter from the provider for the length of time to share with the office to allow for proper coding.

*Per district policy, an unverified absence will convert to truancy unless verbal communication is received from a parent/guardian within 48 hours (counts against attendance standard).

STUDENT POLICY FOR ATTENDANCE

Thank you for helping us maintain accuracy and account for all students.

Hey Parents, are you struggling with new parenting challenges and aren't quite sure how to maneuver through them? There are two upcoming parenting classes available to support you and your growing child. West Ada is offering a 6 week Love & Logic parenting class that is being offered In Person at Mary McPherson Elementary, and the CDC is offering a 6 week Positive Action Parenting class that is being offered virtually. Check out the flyers for more information. Classes are starting soon, and space is limited.

As the new year begins, we are excited to offer Pleasant View students an option for dental cleaning services. West Ada School District and the Family Medical Residency of Idaho have teamed together to open a pediatric dental clinic serving children in the West Ada School District that do not have Medicaid or private dental insurance. The clinic is located on the Meridian Elementary School Campus. It offers no cost dental cleaning to qualifying students.

On February 18, 2022, the Meridian Schools Clinic reserved appointments for Pleasant View students. If your student has no dental insurance and you would like to schedule a no cost cleaning for your child, please contact the Meridian Schools Clinic at 208-514-2527. If you have any questions, please contact me here at school.

I just wanted to send out a quick note about head lice. With the current situation regarding COVID I have not seen many cases of head lice. This may be due to the distancing that has taken place over the last year. Now that winter is in full swing, I just want to refresh everyone on prevention and control. I have attached the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations. There is additional information on the West Ada Homepage-Departments-Health Services that goes over the district policy.

If I am notified of a case in your child's classroom, I will send out a classroom letter to notify you that a case has been reported so you are aware and can monitor your student.

If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me at school between 9-3 or you can email me at allumbaugh.carrie@westada.org
