SPEAK-UP 2009! Paradise Valley has obtained a unique perspective from over 13,000 students annually (k-12), 670 teachers (K-12) and 70 administrators (K-12) about the direction and trends in technology in education (school and home). We've been able to note the significant ownership of cell and smart phones from 3rd grade and up, and the desire/demand by our teachers to increase online professional development. This year Paradise Valley would like to expand this perspective by asking parents to take the SPEAK-Up survey. Your participation will allow us valuable insight for continual improvement. The survey can be take at the following link http://www.tomorrow.org/speakup/index.html once there look for Take Survey and follow the directions. The password is "future." The window closes Dec. 18. Thank you for speaking up!!
CONGRATULATIONS to our Kindness Committee chaired by Mrs. Toenjes, for receiving a matching Character Education grant!!! Mrs. Toenjes and Mrs. Moss, a parent who serves on the Kindness committee, worked to gather data and complete the grant application. This grant will provide financial support for the 2010 Kindness Retreat coming this spring!!!
PLAY TIME AT SCHOOL?~ That's right. At Desert Trails we understand children need to play! The best time is at their lunch recess in the sunshine and fresh air. So the Kindness committee is asking any interested parents to come to school and play!! The turn out has been great with parents volunteering to host a walking club, a chalk drawing contest, and many other fun activities offered by you, our fantastic parents. The students love it, and we appreciate it!!!
Anyone interested please contact Mrs. Toenjes at ktoenjes@pvschools.net Thank you!
