Hi Everybody!
Well, second time’s a charm! We feel like
we restarted after Hurricane Irma to help
our students get in the groove, with
learning rituals and routines. But, judging
from these photos of our 1st graders’
Reading Rally, we are ready to learn!
As Quarter 1 and parent/teacher
conferences come to a close, we look
forward to several smooth weeks of strong
teaching and learning. Thank you, as
always, to our parents, PTO, and
Community Partners for your support of
our educational community.
Caty Van Housen, Principal

PVPV/Rawlings students and families donated over $1,700 to hurricane victims during the
Hearts for Houston change drive. We are SO proud of our students’ generosity and kindness.
Of course, a week later, we had our own Hurricane Irma, so we ended up giving
50% to Houston and 50% to the Jacksonville United Way Relief Fund,
which doubled our donation! During Irma, Ms. Van Housen and
Maintenance Manager Steve Sampson helped at the shelter at Timberlin
Creek Elementary. Here is Mr. Sampson celebrating his birthday with
the shelter crew!
-
Any hurricane-damaged textbooks and library books can be reported to your child’s librarians no later
than December 20th. Students will not need to pay fees for any
damaged books.
General Reminders
Extended Day News
PARENTS: It is imperative that you call or email the Extended Day Coordinator when your child will not be attending after-
school care. Lynda Wing, Coordinator, 904-547-3830, [email protected]
Gifted Screening for all 2nd grade students is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10th. All students will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) in the morning. Those who score
above a certain point will be individually evaluated by the school psychologist. There is really nothing to prepare for this
screening, just come to school fed and well-rested!
Extended Day is off and running full speed ahead this year! We are almost filled to capacity. If you are considering after-school care for your child,
please secure your spot soon. The addition of our homework lab this year is working out nicely. Thank you to all who helped us make this happen! For
questions or further information, please contact Lynda Wing.
