A Weekly Update from Perkiomen Valley Middle School East
A Word From Dr. Clune
Dear PV East Parents and Guardians,
It is hard to believe that we have arrived at Thanksgiving Break. This is always a great time to reflect on the school year so far. Our students are very involved in sports, clubs, and activities. They are also engaged with their own learning. We have many things to be thankful for at PV East although it is our strong school community that tops the list. Together, our faculty, staff, students, parents, and administration ROCK! We are Respectful, Own it, Careful, and Kind. Thank you for supporting our East community. It is important that we continue to keep the lines of communication open.
There is information regarding Parent/Teacher conferences below. We look forward to meeting with you during conferences. We will provide a copy of your student's STAR ELA and Math results at the conference. If you can't attend we will send the STAR results home with your child when they return from break.
On behalf of the faculty and staff we wish you a relaxing Thanksgiving Break with family and friends.
Sincerely,
Seamus Clune, Ph.D.

Free Breakfast Program for ALL Students.
As a reminder, Governor Tom Wolf announced free school breakfast for all students across the commonwealth. The Universal Free Breakfast Program will run through the end of the 2022-23 school year and is open to all students, no questions asked.
We are aware that some families may prefer that their students not participate in the free breakfast at school (in some instances last year, students were eating two breakfasts - one at home prior to school and one after arriving at school). Families may choose to “opt their child(ren) out” from obtaining breakfast using this form. If a family opts out, the student’s account will be flagged and breakfast will not be available to them. You may change this preference at any time by contacting our Food Service department.
