Why are we reconfiguring?
Why are we reconfiguring the grades at the elementary schools?

Why are we reconfiguring the grades at the elementary schools?

    • When looking at staffing the conversation began to move the 8th graders to the high school.  This plan was not well received in the community.  However, during this conversation it was made very clear that many educational partners would like a different option for our 6th - 8th grade students.
    • Many meetings were held and a survey was sent to staff and parents to get feedback on how we could improve our service to 6th - 8th grade. Presentation from meetings.  Feedback from Educational Partners
    • After a year of research the PVUSD administration received support from the school board to reconfigure our elementary schools into one TK-2nd grade building (Appleby), one 3rd- 5th grade building (Ruth Brown) and one 6th - 8th grade building (Margaret White).
