During the school closure, PVPA teachers are supporting students to complete work that had been assigned through March 13 (the day we closed), and providing enrichment activities and resources related to their courses. Our goal is to ensure ALL PVPA students are able to use this opportunity to engage in academic and arts learning. This page contains online resources that students and families may find interesting and helpful. In addition, check your teachers' websites and Google classrooms for course-specific resources.
