Parents: attached is the Remote Learning Plan Book. All of the teachers are constantly updating this document to improve educational communication with the families. Take care. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PCyvZwEk8z5HsR-RP1xEnlcCgOSvMf82eM3Hz1W955c/edit?usp=sharing

Hi PVO The weather is getting nicer out and I hope you are getting some fresh air but practicing your six foot social distancing! What I would like you to do is take a picture/short video of something you have done together as a family and post it to our Facebook/Twitter account. Examples: An Art project, cooking project, STEM project, playing games, etc. Today, Mr. Fiscus (now Tuscola principal) ask his students to post a Dunking video (rim at whatever height). So start posting/sharing your positive picture/video with a description. I look forward to seeing all the pictures/videos. Thanks Mr. White

The link at the bottom of this email is a reference for online resources. It is broken down by teacher (see the tabs at the bottom). It is a live document so as the teachers find something interesting and applicable to what they are teaching they may add to this document. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V8c4GCRu97dskZJixz_Upp9PLmjlFpMJhLHRj-NrkUw/edit?usp=sharing

Date: March 23, 2020 Re:Remote Learning To: PVO Families Hello PVO Families- These are some unprecedented times but the number one most important item for all of us is to be safe! The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is encouraging school districts to provide some types of remote learning opportunities and PVO is here to help our students to continue their love for learning. This is not to add stress during these already stressful times, this is to help create a routine of learning for all the students in the district. Currently, schools are closed through April 7, this date is subject to change since these are unprecedented times. Teachers are currently organizing options to be shared with families and will be reaching out to you in the very near future (if our wonderful teachers and staff have not done so already). Many of these resources are for remote learning instruction, if you do not have the ability for remote learning instruction please reach out to your child(s) teacher(s) and we will do our best to match up a paper version lesson to our remote learning resources through mail/or through staff delivery. We ask that you do not come to the schools unless otherwise arranged for special purposes. The offices will be open daily from 8:00 to 12:00 noon to assist so please call us. We have set up a tentative schedule for the teachers and students to follow, but it may vary depending on the grade level: Mondays and Wednesdays: Math and Reading Tuesday and Thursdays: English Language Arts and Reading Fridays: Social Studies and/or Science and Reading Reading is listed every day. It could be what is suggested by the teachers, but it could also be as simple as reading a cartoon, short story or a news article. We are currently collecting resources and putting them in one location for all families with internet access to view. A link will be provided on Tuesday, March 24th through email and Facebook correspondence. The most important things to remember with remote learning right now is to have continuity, structure, and support! Please continue to communicate with the PVO teacher(s) via email, Class Dojo, or any other communication platform. Sincerely, Mr. White, Mr. Isenhower, Mr. Heuer, and PVO Teachers

The 2020-21 pre-kindergarten registration is cancelled and we will reschedule once Covid-19 all clear is given.

The Governor just extended that all school districts are closed through April 8. We will still be providing meals to any PVO student (email the cooks) during this time. I will provide more information after Monday’s meeting about PVO’s continued learning during this time. Stay healthy!

Hi PVO During the school shut down bc of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 we will be providing FREE “Grab and Go Snack Lunches” to any PVO student that wants one starting Monday, March 23. The Pick up time will be from 10-11 a.m each day at all three buildings (Monday through Friday). So all you need to do email the cook/school you want to pick the meal up at (see below) and provide your name, and student (s) name by Thursday at 10a.m. so we can order food. You can pick which building is closest to your home/babysitter not necessarily where your child(ren) go to school. Menu for next week is Ham and cheese sandwich ,carrot sticks, chips, fruit cup, and milk. For South Elementary-please email Susan at rosss@pvo.k12.il.us. For North Elementary-please email Bethany at deweseb@pvo.k12.il.us. For the Jr. High -please email Deb at FlesnerD@pvo.k12.il.us. Please feel free to help pass the word to our PVO families! Thank you. Mr. White.

Hi PVO Parents and Employees The Governor has closed all school districts in the State of Illinois through March 30th. Therefore, at this time, the school will resume on March 31.
