Student Life

PVHS is a place of learning where we want students to be able to express themselves while also promoting P.R.I.D.E.

Please wear the following:

• Clothing that is not see-through and covers a student’s undergarments, chest and torso when standing or sitting.
• Clothing should have a back and straps and should fit closely under the arms.
• Clothing that is of adequate length to cover the bottom at all times.
• Clothing that has appropriate language. Please do not wear clothing that depicts or references drugs, alcohol, a sexual reference, has profanity, or language that demeans others.
• Appropriate footwear for a safe learning environment. Please do not wear slippers.
• Headwear may be worn on campus, but please remove them in the building or classroom if asked by a staff member.

Media Center Hours: 7:00 am-3:15 pm daily. Students are welcome to work, use technology resources, and check out books. ID is required. 
Bookstore Hours: 7:00am-2:30pm. Closed daily for lunch from 11:30am-12pm.

All PVSchools high schools have closed campuses. Students will need to check out through the attendance office if a parent is picking them up prior to dismissal.

PE uniforms can be purchased in the bookstore, or online, then picked up in Trojan Corner. The cost is $18 for a shirt and shorts. PE Students will be issued lockers and a lock the first week of school. Students MUST use the school-provided lock.

There are textbooks provided free of charge for some classes and others have digital texts. If a book is lost, then a replacement fee is charged. Books will be distributed after school begins.

Parking passes are required for all driving-age students who wish to park on campus and can be purchased for $100 in the Bookstore. To purchase one, you need to provide a valid driver’s license, proof of auto insurance, and a parent signature. All school rules apply to the parking lot.

The Annual Update webpage is used to make any updates to contact information such as address changes, phone number changes, changes to a child’s health history, as well as updated emergency contact information. Visit the annual update webpage. Printed Emergency Cards are no longer available.

View the Bus Routes page for bus route information. Buses drop off and pick up just north of the football field. 

Be sure to pay attention to your bus number when you board in the a.m. Students can only ride the bus to which they are assigned according to your address. All school rules and policies apply when riding the buses.

YES! 

IDs must be worn visibly during the school day. The first ID and lanyard are free. A $5 fee is charged to replace a lost card. Thank you for showing your PV PRIDE by wearing your school ID.

If your address or phone number changes during the school year, please go to the Annual Update Page. It is vital that a student’s contact information be up to date so we can reach your family if there is an emergency.

Payments for class fees, club dues, yearbook, parking, athletics, etc. can be paid online. You can pay with credit or debit card on the Webstore. Visit the webstore and login as directed.

We are happy to assist you with interpretation services. Let us know and we will give you a call back with an interpreter in your native language. Spanish interpretation is pre-arranged for our major school events. Our Language Acquisition Department is also a great resource. They can be reached at (602) 449-2120 or (602) 449-2119.

Breakfast and lunch can be purchased in the cafeteria. We also have microwaves available for student use there. A student store, called Trojan Corner, also sells snacks on most days.

IMPORTANT

If you received free/reduced breakfast or lunch at PV or at a previous school, you MUST reapply every school year. 

There is NO carry over.

Our online grading program, Infinite Campus, allows you to stay current on grades and to check progress. Your student will receive a username and password from one of his/her teachers during the first week of school. Teachers work diligently to update grades in IC, but each classroom runs a little differently, so contact the teacher if you have questions or concerns. Log into Infinite Campus.

If your student is absent because of illness, an appointment, or death in the family, then this is an absence you will want to excuse. 

To report an absence, you can leave a message on the attendance line, or talk to someone in person at (602) 449-7001. Have your child’s ID number available so we can ensure that the absence is connected to the right person.

Research shows that attendance, as much as any other factor, has a tremendous impact on students’ success in school. It is critical that students be in class every day so they can participate in classroom lessons taking place. Please make appointments on 1/2 days or after 2:10 pm if possible.

The Health Center is available if a student is not feeling well. Our school nurse will call parents if a student is too ill to remain on campus. Please make sure we have updated emergency information on file so we have a phone number to reach you. You will also need to update the medical card if there are any changes throughout the year. Families must provide the nurse with any medication that will be taken at school. Students cannot carry their own medication, even over-the-counter meds, while on campus. Please, stay home if you feel sick.

Have a photo ID so we can verify that you are the parent/guardian. You will go to the attendance office to sign out your child. Please do not send siblings or relatives unless they are listed on the emergency card. Please do not text your child to meet you in the parking lot, as you will need to sign them out in person in the office.

PVHS uses an online program called Infinite Campus. Your student will receive a username and password from his/her homeroom teacher during the first week of school. There is also a parent portal where you can access the same information. If you want to make sure your child is in every class, every day, then you can check this from any computer. You may also have your student print a copy in our Media Center and bring it home to show you.

A student who is not in his/her designated class when the bell rings is considered tardy. If a student is late to class they will be sent to the office to get a pass. The pass then admits them to class. 

Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late to class are marked absent.

Electronic devices are strongly discouraged unless they are used for educational purposes and approved by the teacher. Violations of our electronic policy will result in admin confiscations and parent pick up of device.
