Sign up for Right At School's spring break camp
Right At School's annual spring break camp is back this year at Captain Strong Primary School (1002 NW 6th St. in Battle Ground). This year's theme is "Quiet on set!" Campers in kindergarten through seventh grades will live out their Hollywood dreams by becoming actors, directors, writers and more as they explore the fascinating world of film. Students will discover the art of special effects through hands-on activities and experience the physical demands of stunt coordinators.
Camp will be held Monday through Friday, April 3-7, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. The cost is $50 per child, per day. Learn more and register.
Yearbook orders may be placed starting Monday, Jan. 23rd
You may pay by cash (exact change is appreciated, we do not have a change box), or check - made out to PVM. Payment must be made at the time you place your order.
We will receive a limited number of yearbooks, so order early to ensure you get one!

Notes from the Nurse
Hello Pleasant Valley Middle School Families.
- Nurse Janel would like to remind us that everyone will still need to put on a mask when in the health room area, as it is a health care setting.
- Students who arrive at school with a fever of 100.0 or above will be sent home. Please don't try to "push through" the day. When staff or students have a fever they are most likely to pass their illness on to others.
- Please wash your hands before eating, after using the restroom, after sneezing or using a tissue for your face. Hand hygiene is very important and can eliminate a majority of germs that we spread! Also, if you do not feel well or are sick please, PLEASE stay home to get well!
Thank you!

COVID safety in schools
The district posts information about cases in schools on a COVID-19 dashboard.
General guidelines and requirements
- Staff and school volunteers are no longer required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Volunteers must still complete the standard clearance process.
- It is recommended that people with symptoms of an infectious disease stay home and isolate themselves from others for at least five days.
- If someone shows symptoms of an infectious disease while at school, it is recommended that they isolate away from others and be sent home.
- While general masking is not required in schools, masks or face coverings are still required in school health rooms.
- Anyone may choose to continue wearing a mask on school grounds. We expect our students and staff to continue to show respect for one another and the many different viewpoints that make up our community.
- Rapid test kits will continue to be available in buildings for use at home.
Parents and guardians should report positive test results to their child’s building(s). Get contact information for each school.

Medication at school
If your student requires any medication at school, please be sure we have a current doctor-signed medication at school form and, if necessary, medical orders for your student, for each medication. Medications at school must be unexpired. Please communicate with our nurses if you are not sure if your child's medication is past its expiration date.
