PLEASANT VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
Dear PVM Families,
We hope you all have wonderful holidays and a great winter break. We will hit the ground running when we get back with our winter iReady assessments. Please encourage your child to give their best effort on the assessments, as they often assist us in determining class placements. We need to know each child's true achievement level to provide targeted instruction to assist them in skill deficit areas. Once again, have a wonderful break and time with families.
Michael Maloney, Principal Pleasant Valley Middle School

ATTENDANCE NOTES - HOLIDAYS
We understand that families do a lot of traveling around the holidays. If you plan on having your child out of school for extra days before or after Winter Break, please contact the school office, 360-885-5500, to pre-arrange the absence so we can help your student avoid missing any important work, and to get the absence excused. Please give at least two days notice ahead of the absence.
Thank you.
OFFICE INFORMATION
Hello from the PVM office!
Chilly weather is just around the corner. It is always a good idea to look at your plans in case of a weather-related school delay or closure.
Inclement weather and emergency information:
BGPS sends out parent/guardian phone calls and emails to notify families of unplanned school closures. You may also call the BGPS information line for information on weather/emergency delays and closures.
Information Line: (360) 885-5343 (Updated by 6:00 a.m. on impacted days).
Please use the link below to visit our Weather/Emergency Closures page on the BGPS website for more detailed information about snow bus routes, school late-start times, how we keep you notified of weather or emergency closures, and more.
It is important that we have your current contact information in Skyward, as that is where our system draws data from in order to send out phone calls and emails.
Updating contact/emergency contact information:
Please be sure to update Skyward with any contact information changes. Paper forms sent home for "emergency early release" information are NOT used to update Skyward, that must be done online. Please complete the 2019/2020 Skyward Update if you have not already done so.
You can access the skyward log in page HERE.
Thank you!

BATTLE GROUND STUDENT AND FAMILY HANDBOOK
VOLUNTEERS AND CHAPERONES
The application is online, though, we do need to get a copy of your driver's license at the school office in order to process the background check. Click the link below for more information and to apply.
Once approved, the clearance is good for two (2) years.
We encourage you to get cleared now, as the process can take 7 -10 days and is not always possible to complete in time if you wish to chaperone on a field trip with your child's class at the last minute. Thank you so much for spending time here helping at PVM!
