Recycling Collection
November 14, 8:00am -9:00am at ESS Parking Lot
Bring in your #1 and #2 plastic, aluminum cans and CRV glass. Write your child's name, teacher, and number of items (do not count batteries) on a slip of paper for end of the year tallies. The class with the most recyclables collected will get an ice cream party! Remember to separate glass from other recyclables and please no trash. It would really help us out if items were crushed and sorted beforehand. We will also accept household batteries.
Come help sort and crush that morning or contact Victor Chan at vicjchan@juno.com if you can come for an hour one weeknight to help. Either way you can earn raffle tickets for prizes.
November's Spirit Day - Mustache Day!

California Healthy Kids Survey - DEADLINE EXTENDED
Park Village Elementary School and the Poway Unified School District are conducting a survey of parents as part of our school and district improvement process. We value parent input greatly and appreciate your participation in the short survey found at the link below. This survey is specific to our school and will also be used for district wide input. We will be using these student, staff and parent surveys to gain a better understanding of our parents’ view of our school and how we can best support our students. All of these surveys will be used as part of our state required Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and we will be sharing these results later this school year. Thank you for your participation.
To access the survey, please use the following URL: https://surveys.wested.org/csps/FM393XQ
