IVES Annual Egg Drop
Thank you to PG&E and Fritz Barr for bringing out a boom truck for our annual egg drop! Students were tasked with engineering something to keep their eggs from breaking. Not all were successful, but they all enjoyed the event!

Snow Days/School Closure
With all of the winter weather we have had in the last couple of months, we want to clarify closure/make up days for each community.
Greenville (all schools): One built in closure/make up day has been used to date, so school will be in session on Friday May 24th. If additional delayed starts are necessary, minimum days will be extended to regular hours.
Chester (all schools): All built in closure/make up days were used, so school will be in session on both Friday, April 12th and Friday May 24th. We will apply for a waiver from the state for the additional four days.
Portola (all schools): All built in closure/make up days were used, so school will be in session on both Friday, April 12th and Friday May 24th. We will apply for a waiver from the state for the additional day.
Quincy (all schools): One built in closure/make up day has been used to date, so school will be in session on Friday May 24th.

A Note from Our District Nurse
We Need Your Help
We receive Title I and other federal funding for our school based on the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. Because of the grant PUSD received to have all of our students receive free breakfast and lunch, many families have not completed the confidential income verification form. This can be done easily through your parent portal or we have forms available in each school office. We use these funds for extra interventions for our students, including a classroom paraprofessional who works directly with students. Thank you for completing the form to help us to secure the additional funding.

We serve the students of Indian Valley, which includes the communities of Greenville, Crescent Mills, Taylorsville, and Canyon Dam. We are essentially a K-12 school since we are located on one large campus where we share several facilities.
