"If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes and it will change"!

This has been a mild winter, but mornings can still be chilly for the kiddos. They do go outside as long as the "feels like" temp is above zero. We do not have extra coats to hand out in the office.

Please remind your students that all cell phones and smart watches must be turned off and stored in their backpack during the day.

Page 18, under the Personal Items heading, the PVE Student & Parent Handbook states...

"CELL PHONES ARE TO BE TURNED OFF AND STORED IN STUDENT BACKPACKS. IF A STUDENT IS USING A CELL PHONE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY WIHTOUT PERMISSION, THE PHONE MAY BE PLACED IN THE OFFICE UNTIL A PARENT PICKS UP THE PHONE."

If you have questions about the Open Enrollment process, or need to know whether or not your address is in our district, please call the office at 605-787-5295.
