PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
PTO NEEDS YOUR HELP!
End of year testing is coming soon. PVHS needs parent volunteers to serve as proctors for state and AP exams. Volunteers are tremendous help to our faculty and is an easy way to help. Parents assist with monitoring students and testing room management. *Parents do need to be cleared as SJCSD approved volunteers – but it’s an easy process* The students are nice! We will provide coffee! Thank you for your help!

A UNF representative will be in the media center, Tuesday, April 29th during both A & B lunch to assist with information and enrollment application for FALL 25 courses.
PVHS will offer three DE opportunities for eligible students through UNF. Additional information and application instructions are attached.
The courses offered are:
Fundamentals of Speech SPC2608 This course will be offered online at PV High for the Fall 25 semester. Students will meet on campus 3 -4 times for speech presentations. For each speech, an AM and PM presentation time (on campus meeting) will be offered, and dates will be provided at the beginning of the course to allow for planning. This change is being made to allow more students the opportunity to participate in the course.

Indoor percussion picks up a gold!
Ponte Vedra High School’s Indoor Percussion Ensemble earned a gold medal at FFCC State Championships on Sunday, March 30 with their show “On Air.” This is the first state championship in the band program’s history and St Johns County’s first state championship in this activity since 2018.
This is a link to a band parent’s recording of our show: https://youtu.be/7vsKV-CsUso?si=T08Pl9ICph3nvmOc We will receive a professional recording later this month.
This achievement is a direct result of countless hours of hard work and sacrifices made by our students and their parents. PVHS is incredibly proud of everyone involved and feel so lucky to have an incredible group of students who focus on not only being great performers but also great people.
