Two Hour Late Start - October 7th - Science Day

Thank you Tyler, Aleya, and Kayla for the wonderful birthday treats!!! Happy September Birthdays!!!!

FYI

The September Reading Contract is due on Friday. Don't forget to total up your child's reading minutes for the month and place it on the September 30th entry, along with your signature as verification of the total. Thanks! Also, on Friday, we have a spelling test. The pretest only includes a portion of the words on Friday's test. This is due to the fact that many of the words are repeated and others are discussed throughout the week. Please continue to practice any words that your child misspelled on previous tests. This is one of the many reason why I have them bring home the tests for your signature and to earn the dollars. Enjoy your child's success!!!

News from the Office

Hello, I'm Nate Swenson, principal of Pleasantview Elementary School. Our school year is off to a great start and we are excited about the learning opportunities for students. With an ActivBoard in every classroom thanks to our PTAC and numerous grants, students are excited to come to school and learn with the new technology.

There are a few events coming up that I wanted to make sure you were aware of:
