Pleasant Valley Family Newsletter
November 5, 2021
Our mission is to empower and inspire a community of lifelong learners and leaders!
Dear Pleasant Valley Families,
Our Student Council is partnering with our Parma Educators Association to collect for our November Food Drive. The grade level that brings in the most donations will win donuts for all students in the winning grade.
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, please help by sending in nonperishable food items such as:
- Canned vegetables (especially beans)
- Canned fruit
- Canned fish, poultry, or meat
- Canned soup
- Pasta and pasta sauce
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Cereals and rice
- Soap, shampoo, and toothpaste
The PV Student Council raised $326 from our Boo Sucker sale! Thank you to everyone that purchased a sucker! We will be using the money raised to donate to the Food drive that goes directly to PCSD families.
Click here to read PCSD's COVID Protocols for 2021-22. Parents need to check their children for symptoms before they leave for school each day and keep them home if they are sick or exhibit any of the symptoms listed in the SYMPTOM CHECK area of the document. Masks are mandatory on buses and inside the school. We will distance to the extent possible in the school.
Thank you for helping to make Pleasant Valley the wonderful school that it is! As always, I want to thank you for your partnership with Pleasant Valley! We are very appreciative of all of you! Should you ever have any questions, concerns, or just a great idea you would like to share, please email me at bokas@parmacityschools.org or call the main office at 440.885.2380 weekdays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Very Sincerely,
Mrs. Stephanie Boka

Reading Improvement Plans (RIMPS) & Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Score Reports sent home today
RIMPs are interventions designed to help your child meet the "on track" criteria for the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. Students must obtain at least a score on the Spring Third Grade ELA Ohio State Test in the spring. Students who are "not on track" or close to being "not on track" in Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade receive a RIMP. If your child was deemed "not on track" through assessments given in the Fall (September) Benchmarking period, a RIMP was sent home with your child today. Please read the RIMP and develop or continue to have routines at home for reading for 10-20 minutes a day to practice the skills and concepts they are taught in school.
If your child is in KDG-Grade 3 and did not receive a RIMP, your child's performance on the Fall Benchmark tests met the criteria to "be on track" to meet the requirements of the Third Grade Reading Guarantee (TGRG).
