Vision = Victory
Our teachers and staff prepped for back to school by hiking up Jacksonville Mountain and remembering the "VICTORIES" we have ahead of us this year! Victory is our "theme" for the year. Thanks for helping us "RISE UP" to "VICTORY" at PVE.
Rowdy Raider take over the Pep Rally!
Thanks for supporting the Rowdy Raider Club and PTO. We will have an extended sign-up period until September 1st. Cost is $20 and includes shirt. PTO will also have a Rowdy Raider night at the September 15th football game. Rowdy Raiders get into the game free with a shirt (kids only) and will be recognized on the field. GO RAIDERS!!!
2017-2018 "RAIDER" GOALS
#1 Reduce Unexcused Absences
We know how important attendance is to student success. Our goal is to reduce the number of absences students have that are unexcused. We appreciate you helping us by increasing our attendance and decreasing unexcused absences. When your child is out, pre-made slips are available for you to complete and turn in to the office.
#2 Decrease Discipline Referrals to the Office
Our goal is to decrease office offenses and help our students to make good choices. We implement CHAMPS in the classroom and hallways. Your child's planner provides valuable communication that can help correct behavior before it leads to an office discipline referral. Thank you for being partners in the effort!
# 3 Increase Reading!
We will track reading through our word count each month. Make sure you take a few minutes each night to read, read, read with your child at home. This make a HUGE difference in reading achievement.
Student-Led Conferences- WHAT ARE THEY?
One of the things our school is working towards is allowing our students to grow and take leadership for their work. You will see Data Notebooks this year that have goals, work evidence, and victories for various subjects. Attached is a short video about this process. We are working towards to grow leaders at PVE!!
We will not have an open house in October this year, instead will plan to do open house in January so parents can see all the data gathered for our students first semester and students can begin participating in conferencing with their parents about their own data.
Clubs at PVE
Clubs happen once per month at PVE. Clubs will begin in September. Kindergarten will stay together and rotate to a new club each month. First and Second Grade will be paired together and Third-Sixth grade will be paired together and select clubs. Below are our various clubs. WE LOVE CLUBS AT PVE!!
