President’s Message

Dear Pine View Families,

I hope that you are doing well and enjoying a restful and rejuvenating summer break! I am certainly relishing the unscheduled days of summer and taking advantage of the slower pace to spend quality time with my newly minted high schooler and middle schooler!

PVA would, again, like to extend heartfelt congratulations to the incredible Class of 2024 on its graduation! We also congratulate the Classes of 2028 and 2031 on their respective promotions from 8th grade and 5th grade—welcome to high school and middle school!

Over the past school year, PVA remained dedicated to its three core focus areas and made huge strides in each of them. For Academic Support and Partnerships, we continued to back clubs, activities and improvements at the school supporting items such as Odyssey of the Mind, Jungle Robotics, Business Professionals of America, Veterans Day, the World Language department and the new Pine View marquee, just to name a few! In College and Career, we hosted a highly successful parent panel in May, where high school parents gained valuable insights and perspectives from senior parents on the college admissions process. Additionally, in the realm of Community and Culture Building, we implemented our new Grade Representative committee, which has significantly fostered connections among students, and we hosted multiple parent social events that brought our parent community together. We are excited to continue to build on these successes in the upcoming school year!

Since the new school year is only a few weeks a way, I would like to take a moment to encourage all of you to make the most of your summer break and enjoy this incredibly special time with your children. Summer offers a unique opportunity to create lasting memories and engage in activities that might be overlooked during the busy school year. Whether it’s a family vacation, a day at the beach or simply enjoying a quiet evening together, these moments are so precious. At the kids’ 8th and 5th grade moving-up ceremonies in May, Dr. Covert reminded us all of how few school days remain until their graduations—and it never feels like it’s enough. It was a poignant reminder to cherish each day and make the most of every opportunity to be present with our children, as these years will pass by more quickly than we can imagine.

Thank you all, as always, for your continued support and dedication to our school community – I am looking forward to another wonderful school year with each and every one of you. Please enjoy the rest of the summer and we will see you on the first day of school on August 11!

Warmest regards,

Silke Cuff
