It's that time of year, and as we move into November, winter will become more prevalent. Please make sure your kiddos are dressed appropriately for the elements when they arrive at school. Per district policy, students will go outside for recess as long as the wind chill is above zero. You are welcome to send snow boots or snow pants with your kids to school.

Our Lost & Found is getting full again. Please take a look for any items you may be missing! Anything not picked up by February 14th will be donated.

Thank you to all the families that came out to the PVE STEAM night on January 16th! This event was put on by the PVE PTA and Piedmont Valley Elementary. We had approximately 200 families in attendance that enjoyed pizza and refreshments before playing games and activities all related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. One activity showed students how to build a car robot out of paper! Thank you to all of our families that came out and joined in the fun!

Several positions are available for the 2024-25 school year.
