Sea Kings Families
We made it through our very first full week of school! Thank you for your patience and compassion as we continue to find our way. The teachers and I appreciate all of your support, and want to acknowledge each and every one of you for the hard work you have put in to get us to this point. I am confident we can handle any challenge as we move forward if we focus on progress, not perfection. WE GOT THIS!!!
We can all agree that this is difficult, temporary, but difficult. Every day we are bombarded with breaking news, resources, and tips for success, please know there is no right or wrong way to move forward. The important thing is to keep moving forward, and recognize that our children are always learning. The most valuable lesson they are learning right now is how to respond to adversity, by modeling our own behavior. Let’s continue to focus on modeling how to be flexible, how to be kind, how to be patient and how to be innovative in challenging times.
Please join me in recognizing the incredible work of our teachers, staff and District. Distance learning is not our first choice, but each and every member of our incredible team (that includes YOU) has adapted, grown and developed both professionally and personally over the last few months. I sincerely appreciate and admire our PVIS teachers and staff, many of whom have their own children or who have extended family members to take care of, they really are doing everything they can to ensure our students are given every opportunity to learn and grow.

We will be checking in with ALL students through their PE/ISPE class this trimester.
Please make sure your student views the WELCOME TO PVIS presentation and submit the GETTING TO KNOW YOU form, DUE this Tuesday, September 8th.

Technology Update
Teams is updated and being used daily. APEX, supplemental curriculum is still being synced by District Technology and should be available early next week,
Tech Tips:
-Students should fully shut down their device daily and restart in the morning before class. This will allow updates, syncing, processing of video streaming, and loading to move faster.
-If you have a desktop or a laptop, download the Teams app for better performance.
-Close out other internet windows when in class and streaming for a better feed.
-Students should restart their device anytime loading or streaming is lagging is slow- this can improve performance.
-Students be patient when you click a login/link, continual 'clicking' will slow and confuse the processing.
