Pleasant Valley School District

Please complete: Fall Enrollment and First Day Forms

Fall Enrollment and First Day Forms are open now, in the Q Parent Connect Portal (https://pvsd.vcoe.org/parentconnect/). Student information and first day forms need to be completed by every PVSD family for every PVSD student. We ask that you work on this, with the goal of completing it prior to your child’s orientation (if applicable) or first day of school, which is fast approaching on Wednesday, August 19th.

If you need help with the process, including help with logging in, please contact your school office. If you need assistance outside of regular school office hours (7:30am – 4pm), the District Office is offering evening office hours today from 4:30pm - 6:00pm.

Thank you for your support as we continue to prepare for the start of the 26-27 school year.

Please take a moment to read these important back to school safety tips from the Camarillo Police Department!

Camarillo, Calif. – As summer draws to a close and students prepare to return to school, the Camarillo Police Department reminds all drivers to make safety a top priority during the upcoming Back-to-School Month by slowing down, following the speed limit and being extra careful driving through school zones.

"This time of year brings increased activity around schools and it’s crucial to be mindful behind the wheel,” Sergeant Tommy Miller said. "Every driver plays a role in keeping children safe by slowing down and paying close attention in and around school zones. It is all our responsibility to ensure children get to and from school safely.”

The Camarillo Police Department offers the following tips to stay safe around schools:

• Slow down and follow the speed limit.

• Adhere to school policies and procedures for dropping off and picking up students.

• Stop for school buses. Watch for children rushing to catch the bus or exiting.

• Look out for people walking and yield at all marked and unmarked crosswalks.

• For parents with children walking or biking to school, teach them safe walking and riding behaviors, such as looking both ways before crossing the street, using sidewalks when available and crossing at corners when there is no marked crosswalk.

If you are behind a school bus with a stop sign and flashing red lights, drivers need to stop so students can safely get on and off the bus. Drivers must remain stopped while the red lights are on. Drivers in both directions must stop on any two-lane road without a median or a center turn lane.

The first day of school is next Wednesday, August 19.

PVSD Family Update - 08/07/26

Good afternoon PVSD families!

I hope you are enjoying these last few weeks of summer!

This week’s update will look very familiar. I know summer schedules are busy and families may not catch every message, so I am sharing last week’s important back-to-school information again. Our principals have already sent their welcome newsletters. Be sure to read through them to review important school-specific information.

The only new item this week is an update about our required e-bike training and bicycle safety program as we prepare to welcome students back to school.

Read the complete update here: https://app.smore.com/n/yuw0g. The update is available in ParentSquare and was emailed home to families.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!

PVSD Family Update

Welcome back, PVSD families!

I hope your summer has included time to rest, recharge, have some fun, and enjoy a slightly slower pace. It is hard to believe August is almost here and the first day of school is just a few weeks away! We look forward to welcoming our students back to classrooms and playgrounds on Wednesday, August 19th.

Across PVSD, there is already a great deal happening behind the scenes to prepare for a strong start. I am deeply grateful for our teachers, staff, and administrators who are getting classrooms, campuses, schedules, and programs ready for our students. A tremendous amount of work goes into making the first day feel welcoming and seamless for families, and I appreciate every person who has a hand in making that happen.

We are also wrapping up some exciting construction projects across PVSD. It is wonderful to see these improvements taking shape and to know our students will soon be learning and growing in new and improved spaces. These projects are possible because of the generosity and support of our community through Measure C. Thank you for investing in our schools and, most importantly, in our students.

Please take a few minutes to review the important August calendar and complete the required Fall Enrollment and First Day Forms when the window opens tomorrow. One of the most important updates is making sure your emergency contacts are current. Please include someone you trust who can quickly pick up your child in the event of an emergency. The coming weeks include several important dates and opportunities to help students and families feel ready, informed, and connected before school begins.

For now, enjoy these last few weeks of summer! I hope you can squeeze in a little more rest, a little more fun, and maybe a few more mornings without an alarm clock. I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to seeing our students and families very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Danielle Cortés
