Pleasant Valley Middle School Families,

It has been a pleasure working with your student(s) this year at Pleasant Valley Middle School. Our Mission as a school is that we know each student by Name, Strength and Need. Our teachers and staff have been working hard to build positive relationships and discover what each student is great at and also what they need to thrive. This is a challenge that we take seriously and will continue to work on this with your students the entire year.

Fall has now arrived at our campus and we want to make sure that students are wearing appropriate clothes for the morning and afternoon as there have been some dynamic changes in temperature on a daily basis. Having a jacket or sweatshirt in the morning has been very helpful to ensure that students are comfortable and ready to learn each day.

As part of our seasonal change we have also been looking at ways to improve our school systems here at PVM. This week we have started doing some expectation reteaching in the lunchroom for all of our students. This includes reviewing expectations, updating signage and making sure all of our students and staff are supporting the positive systems of being Safe, Respectful and Responsible at Pleasant Valley while we are eating lunch and having fun on the playground.

Thank you all for your partnership and support of PVM. We take great pride in working hard to educate our students and support our families. We look forward to conferences in early November and connecting with each of you. Have a great week Pleasant Valley.

Austin Brothers (Principal)

Erin Thompson (Assistant Principal)

Hello PVM families!

Nurses are reviewing student vaccination records and will be sending out letters to families who have students out of compliance with vaccination requirements. Students entering the 7th grade are due for a TDaP booster vaccination. If your child has had updated vaccinations recently, please be sure to get record of the vaccination(s) to our nurses so we may update them in Skyward. Nurses will notify affected families about upcoming exclusion dates, if necessary.

Life threatening health condition/allergy

If your student has a life threatening medical condition/allergy, we must have updated health information each year as well as medication at school forms for any rescue medications that need to be kept at the nurse's office at school. Parents and nurses work together to create an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for what to do for your child in the case of a medical emergency. Please contact our nurses if your student has a life threatening medical condition/allergy and you have not already alerted the school and had an EAP created. Students and parents will need to meet with nurses before a student may self-carry any rescue medications.

Updating contact and health information

Parents/guardians please make sure you are updating the School Health Form in Skyward each year so that we have correct and current information regarding your child/ren (complete the "Update" in Skyward Family Access. Update opens August 1st each year to update school forms.). Skyward does not pull information forward each school year. There are many School Health Forms that have not been updated for 2-4 years. We need current information and this is how we most often know if your child has a Life threatening health condition. We want to keep your child/ren safe while at school and we can't do our job if we do not have correct and updated information.

Thank you for your time in this important matter.

From your School Nurse Janel Salisbury, BSN, RN & Building Nurse Diane Davis, LPN

Cross country will be having meets on the following dates, all starting at 4:15 pm (except 10/8 at Lewisville, starting at 3:15). Students will be transported to meets, but must have their own ride home from the meet. There is a long break between when school lets out at 2:40 and when the meet begins at 4:15, so it will be good for students to bring a snack or small meal with them for after school, as well as a water bottle.

Student supervision is not provided after meets end, so it is important that students are picked up promptly, right at the end of the meet. Consistent late pick up from practices or meets may result in the student being unable to participate in meets, and being required to end practices in time to ride the primary bus home.

9/19 @ Laurin

9/26 @ TBD

10/3 @ Amboy

10/8 @ Lewisville park (north of Battle Ground off SR503) ** Meet start time 3:15 **

10/17 @ Chief

All begin at 4:15

This is just a reminder that due to staff and student allergies and sensitivities, we ask that students and staff do not wear perfumes/colognes or heavily scented products to school. Also, any aerosol sprays should be kept at home, including body sprays, deodorant, hairspray etc. These items can adversely affect our students and staff with asthma and chemical/scent allergies and sensitivities.

We thank you for your consideration.

Parents looking for childcare options during the Oct. 11 state in-service day can register their children for a day camp offered by Right At School. The before/after school care provider will be putting on the camp at Glenwood Heights Primary School on Friday, Oct. 11. Information on pricing and how to register can be found on the Right At School website.

Safety Study Hall

Visit the Safety Study Hall website, a place for schools, students, and families to learn about safety topics.

New safety protocols

This year, Battle Ground Public Schools joins most Southwest Washington schools and districts in using the Standard Response Protocol for emergencies. Depending on the situation, a school will be placed in a hold, secure, lockdown, evacuation or shelter. See what these terms mean. This common language helps schools, first responders and the community communicate clearly and effectively to reduce misunderstandings in emergency situations.

Please report bullying, intimidation, harassment, threats and safety concerns using our anonymous reporting system. Reporters can remain anonymous. Emergencies should always be reported to 911. Learn more about emergency procedures and safety protocols.

Battle Ground Public Schools’ Family and Community Resource Center (FCRC) helps meet the needs of families faced with housing instability and similar economic challenges.

While a main goal of the FCRC is to assist families experiencing housing instability, it can also help connect families with many other types of resources and is intended to respond to the changing needs of the community.

The FCRC is a continuation of the district’s joint efforts with the Battle Ground Education Foundation, an all-volunteer, nonprofit community organization whose purpose is to leverage community resources to help maintain quality education for all students in Battle Ground schools.

The Family Resource Guide is full of contacts to aid families in connecting with agencies who are able to help with a great variety of needs. Please click the link below to view this helpful guide.
