PARKING/DROP OFF, TRAFFIC, & TARDIES
 
Dear PVS Community,
Some of you may have been wondering about the Portland Police cruiser that was cruising up and down Delaware this morning, as well as, parked nearby in the staff parking area observing.  This was a result of a call that was placed to the non-emergency line this morning regarding traffic congestion, the speed at which cars were driving and what appears to be a chaotic drop off system.  We do not know who placed the call, however we are understandably concerned.
Please remember to:
  • drive NORTH only on Delaware
  • utilize the U-Turn drop off system
  • not park on both sides of the street in front of the school on Delaware
  • use the Farragut lot and walk to school using the cross walk from there
Finally, we'd like to remind everyone that tardy slips are not a tool for chastising students or families.  They are a tool we use (one amongst several) to keep track of student attendance.  Obviously, safety is our primary goal when we make keeping track of students our priority; however, it is a requirement for our charter and part of the way our school receives funding.
 
We would graciously accept any volunteer help we could receive from any parent/guardian who would like to help us monitor morning drop off.  Stop by the front office or send an email if you're interested in helping.
 
Thank you,
Miss Rebeckah

Annual Parent/Guardian Survey of Ms. Jaffe Reminder

 

Dear PVS family,

You received an email last week from Survey Monkey providing you with a link to an online survey for parents and guardians to evaluate Ms. Jaffe for the 2011-2102 school year.  There was a small glitch we encountered; it was erroneously worded to say "Dear PVS Staff."  This survey is not for staff or board members as they will be doing separate surveys.  It is for parents and guardians only.  

 

Please note that the survey is due by midnight the night of Sunday, February 12, 2012.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at:
