Sea Kings Families,

Meaningful connections are the hallmark of healthy relationships. They take continual effort and nourishment, but when you establish these connections their benefits are far-reaching.

I truly believe connections with people are the cornerstone of a successful school and ultimately success for students. Moreover, when connections are made there is more inclusivity, respect, and acceptance of each other. Middle school is challenging enough, and to be our PVIS BEST we must build each other up, recognize we have more in common than not, and focus on respectful open lines of communication. 

Over the past few years, we have noticed data in our Healthy Kids Survey in two areas that needed improvement. The two areas, as reported by 7th graders: are "School Connectedness" and "Caring Adults". In order to improve these two areas, we as a staff planned and executed larger-scale programs and events, like PBIS, spirit days, class rallies, community events, and counseling referral systems. On smaller scales, we made concerted efforts to reach students individually, focusing on their well-being as much as their academic progress.

Every interaction with a student is seen as an opportunity for our staff to reach and connect with a student. The challenge is to be "that one caring adult" for any student. I am proud to report that our results from the Healthy Kids Survey in the two areas increased as follows:

"School Connectedness"  +10% 

"Caring Adults"  +8%. 

I recognize that for a lasting change, I must lead by example with our entire PVIS community and I am committed to continuing this and creating a school environment that is welcoming and caring for all students. 

Thank you to our teachers and staff for your caring dedication in helping to improve the the student experience!
