Block schedule
Students, starting tomorrow, Monday, April 6, I will be following our new school-wide block schedule. This means that during "class" times, we will be meeting virtually in a Zoom Live Lesson. I will be emailing a Zoom invite via our secure Aeries email. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SCHOOL EMAIL.
If you do not know how to get into your class session, please email me, even if it's during the actual lesson.
"See" you all soon!

Spring Break

Even though I'm excited it's almost Spring Break, I feel like I just got into a routine with school. If you want to do anything extra during Spring Break to keep a routine, check out the link below for all sorts of ideas. 
You may also complete I-Ready lessons at any time.
Finally, don't forget to read your outside reading book! Your book can be from any genre.
There are also FREE audiobooks if you go to stories.audbile.com.
You may also access the PV Public Library through our PVIS library webpage. Enjoy your break and be well!!
