Class Lists
Note from the Health Office
Here are a few actionable items:
- For those of you whose children have either daily medications here in the health office, or PRN medications such as asthma inhalers or epi pens, your child will be coming home with a letter this week. The letter asks ask if you wish to come pick up the medications, or if you want us to dispose of them. If you choose to pick them up, we ask that they get picked up by the end of the last day of school, Thursday May 20.
- For those who have children with daily medications, we are asking that they get picked up on Tuesday, May 18, as that will be the last day they are given this school year, since Wednesday and Thursday are half days.

Summer
Desert Trails will be hosting Community Education Summer School during the month of June. ESSER grant funds will be able to provide these classes at no cost to students who were enrolled in our schools during the 2020-21 school year. This applies only to our classes and does not include our Mascot camp. These classes can fill up quickly, so early registration is encouraged. You can find the catalog of courses on the Community Education department website: https://www.pvschools.net/community-education/summer-programs
We are offering additional opportunities July 12 -July 23 for some of our outgoing 5th, 3rd, and 2nd graders. Invitations will be coming home this week.
