2023/2024 PVEC Athletic Announcements

School Travel

As a significant change in the travel expectations for coaches I have received this memo from our principal.  This drastically changes the requirement of approved drivers and trip forms.  Please use the below memo when communicating with parents and players around team travel.  In a situation where a player does not have a drive, coaches must have their proper checks done as well as their updated j form completed and on file at the school

For Coaches (as a memo to share with parents)

Please be advised that we will not be organizing travel to/from practices or games, this is the responsibility of the families to arrange. It is recommended that students do not transport other students to/from any sporting events.

Please ensure parents are aware of this as well.
