At PVS this year, we start school on Monday, September 9th. This date is later than a typical year to ensure enough time to have our new building prepared for students after our major renovation and relocation.

School drop-off begins at 8:15am, doors open at 8:25am, and our day starts at 8:30am.

 

Our school week is M,T,Th,F, 8:30am-3:15pm. Wednesdays are our Early Release Day at 2:15pm. 

 

If your student is late at drop-off, they will check in with the Front Office in the entrance of our lower school.

We will be sending families their teacher assignments for the 2024-2025 school year on August 30th. Teachers will be returning for the school year on August 26th and welcoming their families during the first week of September.

We are very proud of our in-house program held before and after school.

PVS provides all classroom supplies for each student. We do request a Learning Enrichment, Activities & Fieldtrip Fund (LEAF) donation every year to cover the cost of supplies, materials, and experiences that every student receives, regardless of their ability to pay. The requested amount is $250 per year. Every dollar counts, so we ask that each family donate what feels comfortable to them. Families may feel they are able to cover the cost of another child and we welcome that additional donation as well.

 

Thank you for supporting our enriching Waldorf curriculum for all students!
