PVIS Families,
We are officially in the full swing of the school year! I hope your students have found their rhythm and are settling into routines that work well for them.
So much of what we strive to do at PVIS is prepare our students for high school and beyond. Organization and time management are important skills that play a huge role in their success, both now and in the future. Our partnership with families is an important part of helping students strengthen these habits at home and at school.
Please remember that our teachers, administrators, and school counselors are here to support your students along the way. We are always happy to help.
Thank you, and be well!
Micah J. Farrell
Principal
