Dear Pleasant Valley Families,

It has been a great state testing cycle for SBAC this year. The students have been working hard to show off their knowledge and shine over a two week period. On Tuesday our 5th and 8th graders will complete their state science WCAS testing. Please make sure your student gets plenty of rest and, 8th grade parents, make sure they have a fully charged Chromebook on Tuesday. We believe the positive testing culture and emphasis on doing our best at Pleasant Valley will pay off for our students this year. They have all worked very hard to get to this point and we are so happy and proud of their efforts and progress at school.

The countdown to the end of the year is getting closer, but we still have lots of work to do at Pleasant Valley. Next week we will be sending our 6th grade team to Outdoor School. This is a fantastic experience and opportunity for our students to learn in another setting and also bond as a class. We are thankful for our 6th grade team and all of their hard work and dedication in getting this together to support PVM students.

Finally, we are still working hard to make sure we keep our foot on the academic accelerator as we wrap up this school year. Teachers have focused plans to keep students engaged and growing on each and every day until the end of the school year. In addition, our teams are working hard to plan for next year as well. There are still a number of questions on staffing and program elements for the fall. As we learn additional information, we will do our best to be transparent about changes and plans for your student and family at PVM.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership with our teachers, staff and administration. We look forward to a great end of the year and the run up to summer. If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to Pleasant Valley so we can support your family.

Have a great week-

Austin Brothers (Principal)

Erin Thompson (Assistant Principal)

Battle Ground Public Schools will be transitioning to a newer version of Skyward - Family Access this summer. While we anticipate minimal disruption for parents, there are a few dates you should be aware of:

• July 7 - Aug. 3 - Family Access offline for parents and guardians

• Monday, Aug. 4 - New system rollout begins

• Monday, Aug. 11 (tentative)- Online enrollment resumes

NOTE: If you do not complete the online enrollment process prior to Skyward being taken offline on July 6, you will need to start the process from the beginning again when enrollment resumes.

Please watch for additional information over the summer and thank you for your patience.

Our summer and back-to-school checklist was sent to families at the end of May. It contains important information about summer meals and camps, at-home learning, credit recovery opportunities and much more. You’ll also find details about preparing for the upcoming school year. This information will also be available on the district website.

Volunteer Appreciation Night and PTA General Meeting: May 27

Come together for a night of appreciation and celebration on May 27th. Enjoy dinner, awards, and the opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers. Free childcare will be provided by Right At School, so you can relax and enjoy the evening. The event will start at 6:00 pm with dinner and awards, followed by the general meeting. Don't miss out on this chance to show our gratitude for all your hard work and dedication throughout the year. See you there! Please RSVP using this Google Form.

We have a VERY large collection of hoodies, coats, lunch boxes, water bottles, various clothing etc in our lost and found. Any unclaimed items will be donated after June 3rd. Please have your child check for any missing items, or you may check in at the office and look through the collection yourself.

Please have all library books and textbooks turned in by June 6th. Books not returned by this date will be marked as lost and a fine will be assessed. Unpaid fines for damaged and lost books will prevent students from participating in extracurricular activities.

For students who will not be returning to a Battle Ground Public Schools school in the fall, their Chromebook/charger/case must be returned to the media center on the student's last day of attendance. Please be sure to notify the office if your student will not be returning to Pleasant Valley Middle in the fall (or to a Battle Ground high school for 8th graders moving up).

Don’t miss the biggest event of the year!

May 31st, 11am-3pm

Tokens & Wristbands:

• Tokens are $1.00 each

• Token sales will open at 10:30am and close at 2:45pm.

• Games cost 1 token each to play

• Wristbands are $10 each and allow unlimited trips on the inflatable slides and obstacle courses. If you choose not to purchase a wristband, you may still use tokens to go on the inflatables.

Please note that you must sign a waiver form for each participant prior to them going on an inflatable. Save time by printing and signing your waiver before you come!

Prizes:

New this year, instead of winning prizes at each game, participants will win tickets (minimum one ticket per game), which they may then take to our redemption station to pick out their prizes! This set up is similar to that at Chuck-E-Cheese. The redemption station will stay open approximately 30 minutes past the close of games to ensure participants have a chance to redeem their tickets.

Medications that remain at school after that time shall be destroyed.

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

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.

Report, don’t repost

If you see or hear of a possible threat, please report it to law enforcement directly and/or to school staff. This is the best and most helpful action because it begins an investigation and helps to limit the potential for misinformation to spread.

Reposting or sharing a threat on social media in an attempt to warn others spreads the threat farther from its original source and may cause unnecessary alarm and fear.

You can report bullying, intimidation, harassment, threats and safety concerns using our anonymous reporting system. Emergencies should always be reported to 911.
