3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Instrumental Music Sign Up Information
Is your child interested in playing a string instrument (open to grades 3, 4 and 5) or a band instrument (open to grades 4 and 5) for the first time this year? The attached document outlines all of the information and links you may need to enroll your child in the Instrumental Music Program for 2023-2024.

Registration for this event is required by Thursday, September 7 at 3pm to ensure we have enough materials.
Music is alive and well here in PV because we are #PVSTRONG! We look forward to the opportunity of teaching your child!
PV Power Packs
Power Packs are weekend bags of food for students experiencing food insecurity. The bags include 2 breakfast items, 2 lunch items, 2 snacks, and 2 fruits. All food is non-perishable. There is no financial information required to participate in this program.
PV Power Packs is a volunteer run organization and all information is kept confidential. Names are shared with school counselors who arrange for students to pick up their bags prior to every weekend.
Please fill out a separate form for each child that you would like to receive a Power Pack, including children not yet in school.
We will begin handing out Power Packs on September 8th. If your child received Power Packs last year, they will automatically receive them this year.
If you have any questions, email Sarah at PowerPacks@pvsd.org.
Safety Information
It is important that students learn how to be safe. During the first weeks of school classrooms will discuss and review our various safety protocols. Then, during the weeks of September 11th and September 18th we will hold our "Safety Weeks" where we will practice the different Standard Response Protocols including the Hold, Secure, Shelter, Lockdown, and Evacuate safety drills. Student friendly and age-appropriate language is used.
