We are excited to welcome students back for the 2020-2021 school year. This year is going to be very different than many other years. However, our theme this year is "We are all in this together...no matter the distance". Parents have the option to choose to send students to school for in-person learning or elect to sign them up for our distance learning program, called Panther Valley Learning Network (PVLN).
You can watch a Youtube video from Mr. Palazzo, our building principal, explaining the reopening procedures here:

If you would like for your child to move into our online program or return back to school from our online program, please e-mail Mr. Palazzo at palazzor@panthervalley.org to discuss options.
If you recently moved into our district and need to register your child, please follow these instructions. For kindergarten, come to the elementary school between 9:00 and 1:00 each day to pick up registration information. If your child is in grades 1-12, call the Intermediate School at 570-645-2175 and speak to Mrs. Gauronsky

--------------------------------------------------
Panther Valley Elementary School’s vision is to provide a clear path for
academic achievement by meeting the needs of each individual student.
We are committed to seeing students model positive behavior, a strong
work ethic, and a belief in oneself. Collaboration and communication
among school, home, and the community is essential for student success.
At PVES, our English Language Arts curriculum, uses Fountas & Pinnell Classroom as a framework. Students participate in a read aloud, shared
read, guided reading, and independent reading each day. This allows
students to receive direct instruction in comprehension skills and
phonics skills, as well as more individualized support in a small group
setting. We have a partnership with the American Reading Company to
provide students with independent reading materials. This program is
sponsored by Ametek Plastics Inc.
In math, we use the MyMath curriculum. This set of instructional
materials has a technology component to support student learning. You
are able to access your students' materials from home to help them
succeed in math.
We have a Positive Behavior Support Program at the school. This program
encourages students to be Cool Cats! Our three character traits that
are taught throughout the school are Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be
Respectful. Students are given direct instruction on what these
expectations look like across all settings. Students are given Cool Cat
tickets when they demonstrate behavior that shows one or more of these
expectations. Each day, one student is selected as the Cool Cat of the
Day by a staff member. This student has their picture taken with the
principal and shared out on our Facebook page. They also get a positive
phone call home from the principal.
If there is anything I can do to help you or your child, please do not hesitate to give me a call at the school. The best way to reach me is to e-mail palazzor@panthervalley.org
Sincerely,
Robert Palazzo
Elementary Principal
