Paul V. Fly Elementary School -

🎈 Hello PVF Families! 🎈
📅 Just a reminder—there will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, August 29th and Monday, September 1st as we celebrate Labor Day Weekend! ✨
We hope you enjoy this extra-long break with plenty of sunshine, family fun, and maybe even one last summer adventure. 🌞🍉⛱️
We can’t wait to see all our students back on Tuesday, September 2nd—recharged and ready for another great week of learning! 💙🦅📚

#PVFPride #LongWeekendJoy #LaborDay

Students are learning their way around the building. Some are completing scavenger hunts to know where everything is!

During the first week of school, ALL Paul Fly students learn our PBIS rules and expectations. Students learn and practice expectations for their classroom, the hallways, the playground, the cafeteria, the bathroom, and the bus!

Starting the Day with Morning Meeting 🌟 At Paul V. Fly, every school day begins with a Morning Meeting in each classroom. This daily routine helps students build relationships, practice social skills, and foster a strong sense of community. By beginning the day together with greetings, sharing, and goal-setting, students feel connected, valued, and ready to learn. Here is a look at one of our 1st grade classrooms this morning as they started the day with their Morning Meeting!

Together we’re preparing for a great first week of school—please take a look at these helpful first week of school reminders: https://secure.smore.com/n/1d9x8
