Happy Spring, PVSD Community,
As we see the snow slowly melt off the Sangres and watch the cottonwoods putting out their spring buds, we give thanks for a beautiful season filled with hope and renewal!
April's showers also bring observances dedicated to Stress Awareness, Autism Acceptance, Child Abuse Prevention, and National Communities-of-Color Health Awareness Month. As we work to support and lift all our students in their right to equitable, high-quality education, we are also mindful that Spring brings EOY testing and helps us use data to ensure we are challenging our students and helping them achieve their academic milestones.
There are also many end-of-year events and we are so happy to welcome our community into our schools to help us celebrate our children! Please be sure to visit our website often for important dates, announcements, and weekly school newsletters for important information and dates so you can plan on joining us in sharing the joy of accomplishment and completion.
We are working hard to tie up loose ends as we finish the school year strong. I am proud of the work the administrative teams have undertaken to vertically align our schools, rebrand our mascot, and create a strong, evidence-based curriculum to continue to challenge our students with a focus on growth and achievement. I am grateful to teachers who show up every day, lean into challenges, and advocate for inclusive, supportive learning environments for their students' diverse needs. I am appreciative of our support staff who keep our campuses clean, transport our children with care, maintain our facilities, ensure safe learning spaces, and secure technology to best prepare them for their role as digital citizens of tomorrow. Indeed, more people behind the scenes make PVSD the unique and beautiful place it is for your children, and I send my sincere gratitude to my teammates, each day.
Lastly, thank you, parents and families, for entrusting us with your precious children. We are so thankful you have chosen Pojoaque Valley Schools, and we will continue to strive to be the Best School District in the State for our employees, our community, and especially, our kids.
As always, your health is your wealth; please take good care and reach out when you or a loved one needs support or care from our incredible community partners at Las Clinicas.
If you are experiencing financial hardship or are in need of food or clothing, please reach out to our Student Services and Nursing teams.
Want to work for us? We'd love for you to join our team!
