AR Minutes

The third trimester AR goal, 11 points, is due on May 14th. Due to this early deadline our nightly AR minutes will need to be slightly increased so that each student can meet their goal. This month's Reading Contract reflects this increase, as will each consecutive month. If you need to alter your child's AR minutes, please indicate this change on the contract. Thanks and good luck meeting your goal.

A Special Note for Parents of
Fourth Grade Students!


We are looking forward to the Pleasantview PTA sponsored Spring Carnival to be held on April 30th. Every year each grade puts together one or more special theme gift baskets. This year our theme is ‘The Great Outdoors’! One dollar raffle tickets will be sold at the carnival as chances to win the basket. We are asking students in the fourth grade to bring in $2.00 to be used for the purchase of items that will be put in our basket, or they may chose to donate items to put in the basket. These items could purchased for any age group in a family and should be related to our theme. Please send your donations to your child’s classroom teacher by April 13th.



Please help us fill our basket!
