A Message from the Principal
With our first marking period behind us and fall in full swing it's a great time to check in with each other! We hope to see all our families at Parent Conferences on the 5th of this month! We realize that SeeSaw, Class Dojo and email make communication between home and school quite easy but there's no replacement for face to face interactions between you and your child's teacher. If you have not already set up a conference time with your child's teacher or cannot join us on Monday the 5th, please try to set a time to do so in the near future. These conversations are valuable as the partnership between school and home is critical. Further, the message it sends to our students around the value of school is so important. We hope to see you in our building soon!
I could not be happier with the involvement we are seeing in or after-school clubs! We have several going right now - our Panther Strenght Club/Fitness Club, Confidence Club, Pinnacle and then also our Crazy 8s Math Club! I will be starting coding club after school in November or early December open to 3rd -5th graders as well! Keep an eye out for information on that if it's something you think your student may be interested in. We are loving providing options for our students after school and are so grateful that families are taking advantage! Thank you!
I wish you and yours a happy and healthy November. I thank you for all you do to support your student(s) and support Pleasant Valley. Our work together is so important and I value you as partners. Reach out any time with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Sara Hammill
Principal
