Throughout the fall, PTHS’s Room 100 a capella group has been working to safely share their musical talents with our school and community. Click on the link to view their latest video. Many thanks to Mr. Ryan Perrotte and our talented students for all their hard work on this production! Please note that during the taping of the video, physical distancing was greater than 6 feet and the live singing scenes were all lip-synced to match each student’s virtual choir audio file that was pre-recorded in their homes. During outdoor filming sessions, students were unmasked for short periods of time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osv9hUKkj6I&feature=youtu.be

Reminder - Today's PTHS tours have been postponed. They will now take place on January 18th!

We hope that you enjoyed a restful and safe holiday season. Our scheduled Winter Break ends on January 6th and we are looking forward to welcoming our students back to school on January 7th. Grades K-8: For students in kindergarten through 8th grade, classes will resume on Thursday, January 7th for both in-person and remote students. We remind all families and students who are returning to the buildings that strict adherence to our safety plans is more important than ever as... we all work together to keep our schools open for in-person learning. Grades 9-12: Over the Winter Break our staff undertook the monumental task of moving out of the current High School into the New High School. The move was successful and achieved ahead of schedule. While we always knew that minor work would continue on some areas of the building even with school in session, it was recently confirmed by our General Contractor that welcoming students into the New High School must be postponed briefly due to delivery delays on critical safety related items. At this time, in-person classes for High School students are scheduled to resume on January 19th. All students will attend classes remotely during the seven (7) school day occupancy delay. Additional information will be shared this week regarding rescheduling student tours. We are all disappointed by this brief delay, but we know that our new school will be worth the wait. Take a look at the history of the project and a sneak peek at what awaits our students later this month! https://spark.adobe.com/video/3cnvxO3dHR6Um

Students tours for the new High School will take place on January 6th. Watch parent and student emails for more details!

This is the last weekend for financial contributions! Food may be dropped off at the boxes outside of PTMS until Dec 14th! Thank you PT for making this holiday special for so many! https://www.facebook.com/donate/672120876795559/2778493565800485/

Third grade students in Mrs. Williams' class at Pleasant Valley are taking an in-depth look at George Washington during their reading time. So in-depth, in fact, that one student showed up on his zoom reading group today as George himself! Well done, Connor, er... George. Well done!
