The Perkiomen Valley School District Board of Directors will hold its business meeting on Monday, Dec. 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the high school library. The agenda will be available in BoardDocs on Dec. 7. 

Perkiomen Valley School District is proud to support families in need this holiday season through the fourth annual PV Cares Holiday Drive, which will be held Nov. 18 through Dec. 11 at each school.

All items are being collected to support the Daily Bread Food Pantry and the PV Power Packs program, both of which are serving PV families during the holiday season. Donations are designated by grade level:


Donations can be dropped off at any school until Dec. 11 and placed in the blue barrels. We thank you in advance for your generosity this holiday season.

If you are a family who is need of assistance this holiday season, bring this flyer to the Daily Bread Food Pantry or say you are with the “PV Cares” program. Gifts may be picked up Dec. 3-21 from 9 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays, or from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Daily Bread is located at 3938 Ridge Pike, Collegeville, PA 19426.

The district is beginning a capital campaign to improve student experiences and level the playing field called "Rally for the Valley." The intent is to raise money to offset costs for proposed athletic field improvement projects, such as the installation of synthetic turf at Thomas J. Keenan Stadium, construction of a synthetic turf multi-purpose field at the site of our current baseball field, and construction of two, multi-purpose synthetic turf fields behind the high school. To learn more about these projects and how you can support the effort, please visit our webpages for more information.

We're excited to announce the launch of the new PVSD Alumni Network: alumni.pvsd.org! This alumni portal offers PV graduates a way to stay connected to fellow classmates and the district through an online community that is tailored specifically for alumni interests. If you are a PV grad, or know someone who is, please share news about this platform and its many benefits. See below for more information.

What does the Alumni Portal allow you to do?

• Connect and network with over 1,000 (and growing) PV alumni. Explore what your peers are up to and find alumni near you.
• Learn about events, career opportunities, and important news from the community.
• Reconnect with your old friends, and share what's new in your lives.
• Learn about ways in which you can contribute to the future of the district.

How is it different from a social network?

The Perkiomen Valley School Board approved the 2019-20 instructional calendar at the Jan. 14th business meeting. The calendar features an Aug. 26, 2019, start for school, and a June 11, 2020, end date.

The calendar for next year is very similar to the current calendar, featuring parent-teacher conferences the week of Thanksgiving (meaning a full week off for students), and a winter break spanning Dec. 23 to Jan. 1.
