Many of us went to sleep on Thursday night, thinking it wouldn't happen after all. And then it did!! The JEFCOED family enjoyed a beautiful snow day on Friday.❄️☃️ Thank you to all of those who sent in pictures. Your smiles and joy warmed our hearts. Here are just a few of the many fantastic pictures we received.
Mark your calendars to join us February 13th from 6-7pm for a fun and informative parent breakout night!
We will be offering mini-sessions on a variety of topics and you get to choose the ones most helpful to you and your student(s). These will include grade level sessions with PV counselors with information from welcome to high school through graduation requirements, test prep information and take home materials, make-one-take-one STEM kits for all ages, and much more! PV ESL staff will also host sessions in Spanish to better assist our Hispanic families.
Most sessions will have valuable materials for you to take to help assist in your student’s success. We will also have local food trucks on site for you to grab dinner before or after the event!
We look forward to seeing you February 13th!
