A big thank you to Ms. Johanna Friedrich for covering 4th grade temporarily!

Thank you to all of our families for joining us last week. Our students and staff enjoying having guests on campus. Thank you to Ms. Annabelle Vigil, Ms. Tiffany Graham, Ms. Xaviera Herrera, Ms. Daniela Quintana, Ms. Lauren Martinez, Coach Trujillo, and our awesome Cafeteria staff for helping us decorate, prepare, and clean up for our Grandparents Day Luncheon! 🎉 Thank you to Ms. Amanda Herrera and Christine Brock for organizing ticket sales and coordinating with PVIS families! We had a GREAT turnout!

Shout out to Ms. Friedrich's 4th graders and Ms. Manalo's 5th graders! They tied for 1st place and turned in 100% of their signed Impact Aid forms. Woohoo! These important forms are still being received by classroom teachers if you have not already turned yours in. Teachers will have extra forms available at Parent/ Teacher Conferences for families who may have lost their form. Thank you in advance for helping PVIS. Every form matters!

Ms. Cassandra Van Noy is one of the new Instructional Coaches that work with teachers at PVIS. Teachers collaborate with Ms. Cassandra to:

• Review student data and discuss instructional next steps

• Explore HMH resources, lesson planning, or curriculum questions

• Plan interventions and additional support for students

• Brainstorm instructional strategies or work through classroom challenges

She also visits classrooms to see how she can best support teachers and students. We are working hard to increase student achievement and proficiency at PVIS!

Families, please save the date for these upcoming health office events! There is an opt-out form for the Health Education Class if you decide that your child should not participate.

The PVHS students invite all families to attend this fundraising event that will benefit the AVID program.

PRES & PVIS will recognize Red Ribbon Week from October 26–29. Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign that encourages children and families to live healthy, safe, and drug-free lives. At the elementary level, our focus is on helping students make positive choices, care for their bodies/ minds, choose supportive friendships, and ask trusted adults for help when needed.

Please talk with students about the importance of making healthy and responsible decisions. Students have asked if they can decorate their classroom door and have a door contest. Families can cast their vote for their favorite door at Parent/Teacher Conferences.

Please share this information with anyone you know who may be interested!

Teachers will review grades, assessment scores, attendance, and SEL progress with families at Parent Teacher Conferences Thursday & Friday. If you let us know ahead of time, we can have a translator, Native American Liaison, or Admin present at any of the P/T meetings. PLEASE NOTE: If the teacher has 100% of their families attend, their name will be entered into a drawing for a GRAND PRIZE! 🎉 We want to see ALL of our families come by this week!

Happy Birthday to Amare who shared his birthday with us at PVIS last week!
