Yes! It’s time for school tours! Our first tour is this Tuesday and under the present circumstances, it will be a virtual tour. It is hoped that the COVID surge will subside soon and tours can be held in person.

Welcome back from Winter Break! I hope you had time for celebrating, relaxing, and maybe, some adventures during the break. Below are some important LAUSD updates. Please read them carefully so we may reach our goal of keeping every student at PVES safe and healthy.

Thank you for your warm holiday wishes, hugs, and presents this past week! I am truly touched by your generosity... Take care over the holidays, stay safe, and have a happy New Year!

One of the most important factors that makes PVES a special place to learn is our parent volunteers! This past Friday the Room Parents had a holiday breakfast and I was able to say thank you to those who attended. Now I’d like to say thank you to those who were not able to attend and to all of our parent volunteers here at PVES.

It’s time to give thanks and there is so much to be grateful for at PVES! We have a parent community that continues to step up in these difficult times. You support your child/children by attending parent/teacher conferences, coming to parent workshops, and serving as a room parent or a committee member.

Welcome to Parent/Teacher Conference week! The daily scheduleis a bit different during this week. Each class has a snack and bathroom break supervised by their teacher.

The PVEAB is at its best when its membership reflects the diversity here at PVES. If you haven’t done so already, I urge you to complete the nomination form, become an active member of the board, and support the school community that serves your child/children every day.

A letter was sent out yesterday inviting you to join the Playa Vista Elementary Advisory Board. The PVEAB is an important decision making body that effects several aspects of our school’s community.

PVES students are returning to Discovery Park and the fresh water marsh for walking field trips with the Friends of Ballona Wetlands!! Each field trip will have an in-class per-lesson, the field trip itself, and an in class post lesson.

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in our PVES Pumpkin Patch fun! Thank you to the dedicated group of parent volunteers who put this event together and came on Saturday to pass out pumpkins. Yours truly was on hand for photo fun!
