Prospect ValleyElementary School

PV Families,

Welcome to the 2022-23 school year! 

This year will prove to be one of the most important years in Prospect Valley’s long and cherished history. Our first semester will be filled with bittersweet emotions as we say goodbye to our old building as we prepare to move into the new one over Winter Break. 

Even though our brains and hands will be heavy with many different responsibilities during this exciting time, our staff and I promise that our students will continue to receive the top-notch education that PV is known for. Part of our continued commitment to our students’ educational excellence includes adopting a new literacy resource: Into Reading. 

Into Reading is a research-based reading resource that will align with our district’s curriculum as well national standards through Common Core. The quality core instruction provided by the program will help continue our commitment to guarantee that students will grow and achieve in both reading and writing. Additionally, the built-in opportunities for differentiation will help us even better meet the needs of our highest and lower readers and writers. The staff will provide a lot of communication to our families as both the students and teachers embark on this shared journey of learning together. 

On top of all of the exciting changes happening at PV, there are also great things happening at the district level, especially with our Jeffco Thrives strategic plan:

This visionary work will help to clarify and strengthen the work of all Jeffco employees so that all of our Jeffco students can live in a district where they can achieve their biggest dreams. That work will include a sharp focus on students, excellence in every way, equity for all, integrity, and a deep sense of belonging. 

This will be my 19th year as a Jeffco elementary school principal and I cannot remember a year that came close to the excitement we will experience this year. But more than anything else, I continue to feel very honored and fortunate that you have chosen PV as your child’s educational partner. We can only achieve our goals together, and together we will thrive!
