Continuation

8th grade students received their invitations last Friday in Advisory. Students only received an invitation if they are passing all classes. Students who are failing one or more classes will have the opportunity to earn their invitation once their grades are up to passing. Continuation will be in-person this year on May 24th at 10am in the PVMS gym. Save the date!!

 

 

Chromebook Check-In

All current 6th, 7th, AND 8th  graders are required to turn in their computers over the summer vacation. This will allow us to assess inventory and ensure that all necessary repairs and replacements are completed over the summer break. 

Students are expected to turn in their

chromebook
charger
case
And chromebooks should be free from stickers, etc. 

8th graders will NOT keep their chromebooks at the end of the year. This is a change from previous communications. These students will receive a new Chromebook when they start at a 27J high school. 

Fees will be added to student accounts for missing Chromebooks and chargers.  

 

Student Pick-Up

Due to supervision and learning needs, we are not able to check students out of the office after 4:10pm. If you have to pick up a student for an appointment, you will need to do so before 4:10 or you will need to wait until dismissal at 4:32pm. We are also seeing some families who are checking their student out early to avoid after-school traffic. While we understand that traffic can be frustrating, students are missing out on hours of important learning every week because of this. Thank you for your understanding and support.

 

2022-23 Immunization Requirements

It’s hard to believe but we are already underway prepping for the 22-23 school year. Getting vaccinated is an important part of a student’s school readiness and keeps children from catching and spreading diseases that can make them sick and potentially disrupt in-person learning. See below for guidance from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment on required school immunizations.

Immunization Guidance - English

Immunization Guidance - Spanish

 

Fees

We have many students with outstanding fees. We have sent fee balance notices in the mail to all families. These funds are very important to PVMS and allow us to support learning opportunities for your students. 27J policy also outlines that students may not participate in extracurricular activities, including sports, if their fees are not paid. 

If your student has previously qualified for Free & Reduced Lunch you would have had some reduced or waived fees. Because meals are free for all students this year, many families did not complete this application. This application must be submitted in order to eligible program fees to be waived. Please visit this site to complete the application. 

 

Electronics

A reminder PVMS is not responsible for lost or stolen electronic items (phones, earbuds, gaming systems etc.) Students are not supposed to have these items at school as they are not conducive to the learning environment. We will use our redirect process as well as contact home if electronic devices are confiscated by our staff. Parents and or guardians will be asked to come to PVMS and retrieve the phone/earbuds etc. Please remind your TIGER that they are not to have these items at PVMS.

Since cell phones are prohibited while at school, we ask that you please direct any necessary communication to your students through our main office during school hours. Students caught texting during school hours, even if it is with a parent, will still have their phones confiscated.

Information about this and other student rules at PVMS can be found in our Student Handbook.
