We will begin ATLAS testing tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM sharp. It is very important that all students are present, on time, and ready to begin promptly so they can do their very best. To help your child feel confident and prepared for this important summative assessment, here are a few helpful tips: ✅ Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep ✅ Provide a healthy breakfast in the morning or encourage them to eat a FREE breakfast at school! ✅ Help them to arrive on time and relaxed ✅ Remind them to take their time and read questions carefully ✅ Send them with a positive mindset ✅ Ensure that they do not bring any personal electronics This is the final ATLAS test and most important one of the school year. Let’s make it a great testing experience!

We hope to see you tonight at PVMS EAST Night Out at 5:30pm. Come check out our amazing projects our EAST students have been working on!

Hello PVMS Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, PVMS is reinforcing expectations for the appropriate use of school technology. Student access to computers and other school devices is provided to support instruction, learning, and academic success. It is a privilege, and that privilege may be removed when a student chooses to misuse it.

Effective immediately and continuing through the end of the school year, any student who engages in inappropriate use of school technology will be subject to loss of computer access and privliges. This includes, but is not limited to, gaming, use of vulgar or inappropriate language, email misuse or abuse, use of unauthorized chat or messaging programs, attempts to bypass security measures, intentional mishandling or damage of devices, writing on devices, or any other misuse that violates school or district technology expectations.

Students whose technology access is revoked will not be allowed to use a school device for regular classroom activities. The only exception will be during required state ATLAS testing. In those instances, the student will be provided access to a device only for the duration of the testing session, and the device will be collected immediately once testing is complete and their access again revoked.

This expectation is not being put in place lightly. School technology is an important instructional resource, and misuse disrupts learning, damages property, and creates unnecessary challenges for classrooms and staff. Our goal is to maintain a safe, respectful, and academically focused environment for all students.

Please help reinforce this importance by speaking with your child about using school technology responsibly and appropriately. Your partnership in this is important and appreciated as we work together to uphold high expectations for student behavior and protect the tools that support learning.

Thank you for your continued support as we close out this year strong!

Respectfully,

William Grafton, MAT
Instructional Technology Specialist
Campus Safe Coordinator
