PV Board of Education Presentation- Thursday, October 25, 2018 @ 7:00 pm Board Room
In the spirit of our focused goal of increasing our transparency throughout our community, Pleasant Valley will be presenting to the Board of Education and the community. This presentation includes:
- Highlighting some of our staff members- who will be our "In the Spotlight" staff members Nicole Sturges and Liz Wilson and four of our students
- Four of our September Leaders of the Month who have also been chosen for this honor every year since their first-grade year
- I will review some data from our 2017-18 State Report Card
- 2017-18 climate data
- 2018-19 SIP
- PV's signature components
It would be amazing if our PV staff could quietly participate by being present in the audience. The last building to present was Greenbriar and with their 20+ staff members present, it sent a strong message of unity to our Board of Education and community. Please attend if you can!
