Pleasant Valley Staff Newsletter
Week of September 7, 2020
Our mission is to empower and inspire a community of lifelong learners and leaders.
Dear Pleasant Valley Staff,
Thank you for all of your hard work getting ready for the first time in any of our careers to start the school year with distant learning! I know our PV Star Team does Whatever it Takes to support each other, our learners, and their families! I thank you all. Please remember that we have to Whatever it Takes to make it safe here as well, so we must wear our masks in common areas at all times and times when we are with one another in rooms.
Thank you to our classified staff for their help this week in classrooms, the office, and with Packet Pickup. Also special thank you to our teacher volunteers, Sandy Stacho, Nicole Sturges, Nicole Eschweiler, Lorraine Predota, and Julie Tollis! We had over 600 bags picked up yesterday!
I will send the student username and passwords document when I receive it.
Our PVLA teachers include:
K- Kelly Demko & Robin Gorey
1- Jenny Must & Jeannine Gigliotti
2- Ann Boutall & Dale Pawul
3- Jamie Passanisi & Tiffany Duke
4- Heather Canzrulo
ISs- Carrie Tymkewicz, Stacey Robertson & Alison Cingle
These amazing teachers are still part of our team in every way! They will join us for Monday TBS, Staff Meetings, and all PD. PVLA teachers, your class lists will be finalized next week.
Jessica Ammiller found this fantastic resource from the Responsive Classroom and wanted to share the COVID-19 Morning Meeting & Responsive Advisory Meeting Downloads. Thank you for sharing, Jessica!
Our Title I team is helping with Kindergarten Orientation during Tuesday-Thursday next week. And the district is ordering iPads for all general ed K-1 teachers to sync with students iPads. Yay! Students can't see a grid view on the iPad during a Google Meet. Use this as a workaround if you choose to Google Meet Grid View on Student iOS Devices.
The "Please Clean This Room" signs are on the doors of classrooms. While we are on the Distance Learning schedule and you decide to come into the building to work, please flip the sign to read, please clean this room and close the door, so our cleaners can disinfect during the evening hours. If you don't need a full room cleaning, there are disinfecting wipes in the office to use to wipe your desk surface. A request from cleaners is to not decorate doors near the in and outside door handles. One of their cleaning procedures is to spray and clean all inner and outer doorknobs, so cutting about a 5-inch radius will keep the decorative paper from getting wet and discoloring it.
Remember to add PV admins to your Google Classrooms as collaborators. Know that you all are equipped with the tools to teach at a distance, and we have experts within our building to reach out to if needed! I believe in you!
Rest and I wish all of you a safe holiday weekend!
Thank you,
Stephanie
