PVMS Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a rigorous, world-class education which inspires students to become active, compassionate, and collaborative lifelong learners who understand and respect other people and their differences.
Learner Profile of the Month: Reflective
January
As a PVMS Family, we focus on a different Learner Profile (a trait that we strive to display to become the best people possible) every month. For January, we are focusing on being Reflective. We are Reflective when we give thoughtful consideration to our own unique experiences. PVMS staff members have blue #IBSTRONG tickets that they are giving out throughout the month to students who are displaying that they are Reflective. Teachers will also be choosing students for “Student of the Month” who are an example to others in exemplifying that they are Reflective. We encourage students to wear blue on Fridays during January to represent our Learner Profile of the month.
You will see signs displaying the Learner Profiles throughout the school. The profiles are also posted above the white board in each classroom. Teachers have a second set of magnetic Learner Profiles that will make it easier to highlight which Profiles are relevant to the current classroom activity.

Jill Freiji is a school nurse who will be covering in Mrs. Mackling's absence. If you have filled out a healthy school form, due to this personnel change the healthy student program at Pine View Middle School has been suspended for the remainder of the 2017-2018 school year.
Mrs. Findlay is a teacher who has not let her love of teaching wane- even in retirement! Our visual arts students will have the benefits of her expertise for the remainder of the school year.
Mrs. Wilkinson has been at Pine View Middle since the start of the school year teaching Year 1 Individuals and Societies while Mrs. Keyser was on maternity leave. We are so happy to have her now teaching Year 2 Sciences for the remainder of the school year!

Odyssey of the Mind at PVMS
Enjoy thinking outside the box? Join Odyssey of the Mind! Joining an Odyssey of the Mind team provides you with the opportunity to learn creative problem solving, teamwork and self-reliance while having fun solving a problem and creating a presentation with your own ideas and those of your team mates. Although you have a coach to support and advise you, all the ideas and the work on the solution comes from the team members. It all culminates in a multi-school competition in late February/early March and a chance for the highest scored teams to compete at the state level in Orlando. Interested students can complete the form at: http://pvms.pasco.k12.fl.us/wp-content/uploads/pvms/2017/08/PVMS-OM-2017-2018-flyer.pdf
