Thank You Teachers

We are blessed at PVES with the best teachers! This week we wanted to take a moment as a school to celebrate you, teachers, for all you do for our students and school. You go the extra mile to make sure our students feel loved, learn, and grow. It is because of your dedication and passion that our students succeed. Thank you for the investment you have made in the lives of each student. 

Saying Thank You

Teachers we have a breakfast planned for you on this Friday morning including Bojangles biscuits, fruit, coffee, and juice. Please be sure to stop by the workroom to get yours. We are also in the process of making special plans with PTSO for a very tasty treat at the end of the year as a way to show appreciation. More details to come!

Testing Reminders

Third graders will have completed testing after Thursday. Thank you third grade teachers for your diligence to make these two weeks a success. We will begin with fourth grade on Friday. Please continue to keep in mind the following:

• Arrive to your testing session on time and prepared. Someone will meet you in the lab to assist with getting the test started.
• Be an active monitor. Walk around and take notice of anything out of the ordinary or potential issues with testing or test security. Notify Mrs Lee or school admin if something concerns you. 
• Don't forget that your folder with testing tickets, rough drafts, seating chart, etc. is secure material that should never be left unattended. 
• Thanks to Mrs. Lee and our related arts teachers for covering the hallway for us and providing a break for our teachers during testing. They are there to assist you. 
• We are doing our best to keep scratch paper, sharpened pencils, and peppermints in each lab. 

ESL Accommodations Reminders

Melissa Thomas will be placing accommodation sheets for each of your current ESOL students in your boxes (homeroom teachers). Mrs. Thomas has marked current accommodations, if any. Please highlight any accommodations you feel are needed next year, sign each page, and return it to Melissa Thomas' box. If you team teach, please be sure to discuss this before returning it. Thank you Mrs. Thomas for a wonderful job this year! 

Congratulations!
