Relationships

We are now in the second nine week period which means a quarter of our time with students has passed. The challenge continues to be making the most of each moment we have our students in the building with us. We all can become busy and wrapped up in the many "to dos" handed down to us. Let us know forget the power and need for relationships with each other and with the students entrusted to us during the remainder of the school year. 

Wrapping Up and Review
We will keep this week's blog fairly short. We shared most of the need to know information at our meeting on Tuesday. Here is the presentation that was shared with teachers and staff on Tuesday. Teachers were asked to schedule data meetings with Mr. Moore and Mrs. Tollison. You can find the link to the sign up here or in the presentation. Be sure to review the slide that outlines what you should prepare for the presentation. Let us know if you have questions about anything in the presentation. 

Thank You
Mr. Moore and the office staff hope that each of you enjoyed your special appreciation lunch today. We really do appreciate all you do for the students of PVES. 

Great Things Happening at PVES...

We shared many wonderful celebration points at our meeting on Tuesday. Here are a few more great things taking place. 

Miss Marino's class had a visit from the fire department today! They had such a fabulous time learning about fire safety.

We celebrated the first nine week's patrols and their hard work.

Then, we welcomed the second nine week's group. These students make a difference in our traffic flow each morning. They take the time to greet each student and parent as they open car doors, setting an example of the excellence we expect. We are proud of the way our fifth graders lead at PVES. 

Finally, the grass in the area for our garden boxes has been cleared thanks to Mark Golden. We have our work day Saturday. Two different sign-ups were sent out to parents, community members, and staff. One requested volunteers and the other asked about tools. We are excited to see this project come together. Thank you to the various committees working with Miss Wilcox. 

Tollison's Tidings

• Most folks have received notes and surprises from their PVES Pal. Remember we asked that you acknowledge your PAL at least once a month. Please take a moment to complete the form I spoke about in our meeting. This helps if we need to reassign for any reason. Also let me know if you need me to share the "favorite things" data collected. 
• Mr. Moore will be at training next week, Tuesday through Thursday. Thursday we will not have an administrator in the building as Mrs. Tollison will be absent as well. If you have an emergency or immediate need contact Ms. Lee. Mr. Moore will be in the building on November 4th. 
• Make sure you are following PVES on social media. We have several teacher posting about the innovative things happening in their classrooms. 

Mark Your Calendar

Important dates regarding grades and report cards can be found in the presentation shared on Tuesday. Please refer to our shared calendar for other important dates. 

Video of the Week

Keeping things short and sweet with our video as well. This video is less than one minute but an awesome reminder of the importance of relationships.
