Halloween Reminders
If your child wishes to wear a costume for Halloween, we ask that all families and students be mindful of which costumes are appropriate for school:
No weapons. Knives, guns, or batons are not permitted at school. If your child does have these items, they will be removed and returned at the end of the day
No costumes that depict violence, alcohol, or drugs
No masks, face coverings, or face paint. Students' faces must be visible throughout the school day (Masks may be worn during the parade only)
No costumes that could be offensive. i.e., a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, heritage, or religion
We also ask that you save your scary costumes for the evening, sending your child in attire that will not “scare or spook” our youngers. Students wearing questionable costumes will be asked to change into appropriate school attire.
Pledge Drive
Halloween Parade
A tradition here at Park Village is the Halloween parade. Students may wear masks, and thanks to a very persuasive 5th grader, inflate individual costumes for the parade only. After the parade, masks will be put away in backpacks and all costumes will be deflated for the remainder of the day. The parade begins at 9:00am. Please be mindful that Halloween is on an in-person day for Connect Academy and their student drop off beginning at 9:00am. This could make for a crowded parking lot so please plan accordingly.
Picnic Details
Picnic With Penguins & Ice Cream Social -
Paper Drive
“Picnic with Penguins” is sponsored by Park Village Foundation and is an opportunity for all parents to come enjoy lunch with their student(s) on campus. Some parents bring lunches from nearby restaurants and some bring in lunches made at home. If you're running late you can always get a school lunch from the cafeteria for free! Feel free to hang out with your child while they eat lunch and use it as a great opportunity to take a break from your day to spend quality time with your children, and meet other parents. The lunch tables are available for seating or please feel free to bring chairs and blankets to sit on in the lunch area as well.
Lunch times:
TK & 4th & 5th from 11:40pm - 12:20pm
2nd & 3rd from 12:20p - 1:00pm
K & 1st from 1:00p-1:40pm
Restaurant Night: Since PVES loves Jersey Mike’s, our next restaurant night is Jersey Mike’s combined with Picnic with Penguins as an option on Friday November 3. Jersey Mike’s will donate 30% of your sale in support of Park Village Elementary School. Visit the store and mention the flyer or order on their app using promo code PVES30. This fundraiser is valid all day and only at the Black Mountain (PQ) location - 13173 Black Mountain Rd. San Diego 858-484-0222.
Paper Drive: Every fall and spring we host a copy paper drive to help support our teachers and staff. The paper drive helps to alleviate the cost of paper for our school and allows our teachers to not be limited in their supply needs for the classroom. All paper donated is given to our PV teachers and staff, and they are incredibly thankful for your generosity and support. If you would like to donate, please bring a ream of paper with you to leave at the door during our Picnic with Penguins event. If you are not able to attend Picnic with Penguins, but would like to donate a ream of paper, please have your student bring the paper to the front office. Thank you for your support! Let's fill the copy room!
Ice Cream Social: There will be ice cream available for purchase in the MRP for $2.00. Penguin spirit wear will also be available for purchase.
HOUSEKEEPING RULES:
There will be many adults visiting campus. All Adults are required to sign in at the front gate. Do not go through the front office and there is no need to sign out to leave campus.
We will have parents wait at the front gate until your child’s designated lunch time to minimize the amount of people in the lunch area as it can get busy.
Please comply with all traffic and parking regulations on and adjacent to campus. Absolutely NO PARKING allowed in the school parking lot as this is for staff only.
Please do not take food onto the playground areas, and please dispose of all trash properly.
We need parent volunteers to run this event: please visit the sign-up genius at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E44ADA72CA6F5C43-september#/ to choose a time slot if you are able to volunteer your time. Duties might include set-up, managing the sign-in table, cashier, handing out tickets/ice cream, and clean-up. Thank you to those parents who have already signed up. We appreciate your support!
