Pleasant Valley Family Newsletter
September 18, 2020
Our mission is to empower and inspire a community of lifelong learners and leaders!
Hello Pleasant Valley Families,
I want to thank our families for showing incredible respect and grace to our teachers and staff. We are doing all we can to support our Pleasant Valley family during distance learning. No matter your thoughts on our current situation, please continue to stay positive with your children.
We are preparing for our potential Hybrid Learning Model with a possible start date of Tuesday, September 29, 2020, for our Green Cohort (students with last names beginning with A-K) and October 1, 2020, for our White Cohort (last names beginning with L-Z). Details and changes regarding arrival and dismissal will be outlined in the next week's newsletter if we return to school with the Hybrid Learning Model.
