Celebration

7:00—8:15 p.m. - - Students attend the dance
A
special evening is planned for the 8th-graders to celebrate their last days at
Pleasant View and the start of their high school career. The celebration
will be held from 6:00—8:15 p.m. at the school. From 6:00-7:00 p.m.
students will enjoy an evening meal and preview the memory video and from 7:00-8:15
p.m. the students will attend a dance in the all purpose room. The dress
for the evening will be casual, with jeans/shorts and 8th-grade class T-shirts
being the standard.
Each
8th-grade student attending will purchase a ticket for $10.00. This will
pay for their food, a class T-shirt, a memories DVD, and the dance. If the cost of this activity would create a
hardship for you, please contact Mrs. Johannsen at 523-2360. If you would
like to help a classmate attend, donations will be accepted. The last day
to purchase a ticket is May 17.
Tuesday,
May 21- 8th-Grade Promotion and Honors Program
at
Hillcrest High School in the Auditorium
Time: 10:00 a.m.
The
8th-grade promotion and honors recognition program will begin at 10:00
a.m. This is a “dress up” occasion and students should dress
accordingly. Each student will receive a packet of certificates for
recognition to various activities they have participated in or for honors they
may have received. Students will meet no later than 9:30 a.m. to prepare
for this event. Noise makers are NOT allowed. School will be
in session at Hillcrest on that day and their students will be taking finals,
so PV families/students will need to stay in the auditorium at all times and
will not be able to congregate in the student center before, during or after
the promotion program (restrooms and water fountains will be available).
Please be aware that food or drinks (including coffee, water bottles, etc) are NOT
allowed in the auditorium at Hillcrest.
Entrance
to Auditorium:
Please enter the building through the doors that are located east of the main
entrance and go directly to the auditorium. Please do not try to enter
through the main entrance of the school.
Parking
at Hillcrest: As
you turn off Grant Street onto Smith Street, please use the first parking lot
on the right.
Eighth-grade
students who have failed to complete the requirements for 8th-grade will be excluded
from this promotion activity. If your student is in this category, you
will be notified prior to May 21.
Our
hope is that these events provide our student body an opportunity to reflect on
the good year they have had, and will provide the staff and parents a chance to
tell the students how much we appreciate them.

Registration goes by your student's grade in August.
Grade 9 March 5th 7:30

Morning Student Drop-off Procedure

Updated PV Chromebook Policy
Since chromebooks are provided by the district as a tool for your student’s learning, we want them to have it charged and ready to go each day at school. When students have to visit the library to get a loaner chromebook, they miss valuable instruction time. Parents, we want to partner with you to set your student up for success in the classroom. Please help remind your student to have their chromebook, and have it charged.
The following scope and sequence will be followed beginning second quarter.
1st Loaner Checkout– Warning
2nd Loaner Checkout – Warning
3rd Loaner Checkout – Lunch Detention & Parent Contact
4th Loaner Checkout – Chromebook must remain at school until end of quarter
Sports Announcements
Track has started! Our student-athletes and coaches are having a great season!

ATTENTION Parents of 7th Grade Students
7th Grade Students can participate in MSHSAA sports through the SPS school district. In order for students to participate during first quarter next year as 8th graders, they must have fewer than two failing grades during fourth quarter. Students who receive out of school suspension will be suspended from events for 14 days for the first offense, and for the remainder of the school year for a second offense.
Student Pick-up from Events/Games7th Grade Students can participate in MSHSAA sports through the SPS school district. In order for students to participate during first quarter next year as 8th graders, they must have fewer than two failing grades during fourth quarter. Students who receive out of school suspension will be suspended from events for 14 days for the first offense, and for the remainder of the school year for a second offense.
With students attending games at events at PV and other venues, we wanted to share the rules for student pick-up. For other events, students will be communicated a pick-up time from the administrator at half-time of the second game or near the end of a track meet. Students must be picked up within 15 minutes of the end of the games, or they will not be allowed to attend the next game.
Student Expectations Video
We shared this behavior expectation video with all PV Middle School students so we could clearly express our expectations for their behaviors in the cafeteria, hallways, and bathrooms.

Parents, you have access to your student's grades through our on-line grade book program. If you need access or have questions, please call the office at 523-2100.
Teacher Recognition Form
We have amazing teachers and staff here at PV. We often get asked by parents, what is the best way to recognize our wonderful group of teachers and staff members. One way is to complete an Employee Recognition Form to show your appreciation. There is no recognition that is too small, and we thank you for taking time to recognize and celebrate our teachers and staff.
