Student voice matters at PVF! Our Building Leadership Team hosts regular “Lunch Bunch” meet-ups to hear what students love about school and what we can improve. It’s truly one of the highlights of our jobs. Mr. Smith had the joy of lunch with this awesome group of 4th graders today—so many great ideas! 🍎💬

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
