    Individual Pictures

    Within the upcoming the next few days you will receive a flyer regarding picture day for your child. Please:

    • make note of which day is your child's picture day

    • select a background color

    • send the form back in ASAP

    Class Pictures

    Some families may notice a note on their child’s flyer that their class picture and individual picture will be held on different days. This happens most frequently with siblings and children who do not have a 5-day schedule.  If you have any questions about picture day – or specifically timing – for a child who does not attend on their scheduled day, please contact your classroom teacher.

  • October 19th

    Join us for a spooktacular time with the

    PVMS community,
    complete with bounce houses, music, glitter tattoos, crafts, and costumes!

  • Thursday October 24

    Please join us to see the work your children are doing in class first-hand!

    During Share Nights, families have the opportunity to see the classroom, materials, and routines that make up their child's school day. 

    Your child will guide you through their favorite areas and materials, which will allow you to get a better sense of what they are working on and to see the Montessori materials in action.  They are usually quite proud to show you their work!  

    Sign ups will become available as the date approaches!
