In this District and at PVIS, we continually use data from standardized assessments such as the CAASPP (math, ELA, science), iReady (math and reading), and subject tests to guide instruction and identify areas of need in student achievement. One comparison we have researched is our CAASPP assessment results from 2018-19 to last year.
With that said, our comparison data for students that "MET OR EXCEEDED" the standard is below:
In order to increase the academic achievement of every student this year, we have developed and started implementing classroom strategies. We have also developed additional measures for students who received below-average test results.
If you ever have any questions about our standardized test scores or academic intervention please do not hesitate to contact me. Our community is a large part of our school and District's success and we are lucky to live and work in a place that always puts students first.

PBIS Update
We're focusing on "hard work" for the month of October. With daily quotes in the morning bulletin and opportunities for students to reflect on their attitude and effort, we want all Sea Kings to appreciate the value of working hard towards their goals. Parents, you can reinforce this idea. Help your child(ren) develop a growth mindset by praising effort instead of results. Instead of saying, "Great job on the test; you're so smart," try saying, "I noticed how well you focused while studying." For more tips, visit
MindsetWorks.
PVIS celebrated the first Fri-Yay! of the school year. Highlights of the day included the Fun Sock Friday raffle, Dominos pizzas for students who had their names drawn for having been their "PVIS BEST," and the announcement of September's SPARK award recipients (Students Practicing Attitudes of Respect and Kindness). Congratulations!
Looking ahead-
- Digital Citizenship Week is the 3rd week in October. We are excited to bring "Screenagers" to campus. The film may be a few years old, but the topic remains timely. All students will view the film in their Social Studies class. SAVE THE DATE: A special showing for parents will take place on Tuesday, October 25th. More details to come.
- Red Ribbon Week is the 4th week in October. We look forward to a week of activities to raise awareness, educate, and encourage students to lead drug-free lives.
