At PVS, we start school on Thursday, September 2nd

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

 

Our school week is M,T,Th,F, 8:30am-3:00pm. Wednesdays are our Early Release Day at 2:00pm. *Returning families please note this important change!*

 

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

We are excited to have an in-house program for the 2021-2022 school year!

All students need to bring a snack for the day. If your family needs support with snacks, please contact our school counselor, Sean O'Leary at [email protected]

 

Students are welcome to bring a lunch from home, if they choose.

 

PVS is able to proved free lunch for all students regardless of their previous free lunch eligibility. Sack lunches will be offered in September. Please see the link here for very important details about how to receive a free lunch.

 

PVS provides all classroom supplies for each student. We do request a Materials & Activities donation every year to cover the cost of supplies, materials, and experiences that every student receives, regardless of their ability to pay. Every dollar counts, so we ask that each family donate what feels comfortable to them up to the requested amount of $195 per student per year. Families may feel they are able to cover the cost of another child, and we welcome that donation as well.

 

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

Please view this video for an explanation of our morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up process.

 

There are directions for both walk-up drop-off/pick-up procedures as well as vehicle drop-off/pick-up.

 

Please remember, if you are dropping off a Kindergartner or 4th-8th grader by vehicle, you will use the Farragut lot one block north of the school. If you are dropping off a 1st-3rd grader, you will use the middle playground lot. If you have more than one student in your vehicle, please be sure to use the lot assigned to the youngest student in your car.

 

Please view the video for important details about the drop-of/pick-up process - and thank you for your patience!

If your child arrives after 8:30am, they must check in at the Front Office in the Lower School entry way. They will get their temperature taken and the Front Office will note that they are present for the day. Your student will then go to their classroom.
