October is National Principals Month. Principals have a direct impact on student achievement & school climate. Thank you to all of our Principals @SmithfieldSchls

Our Unified Friday was a wonderful day! Administrators, faculty, staff, students, and guests were all energized by our common understanding of what kindness, respect, and inclusion look like. Our arrival and Morning Meeting were powerful! The Pleasant View family is so grateful that our cherished guests were a part of this special day. Thank you, Smithfield Special Education Local Advisory Committee (SSELAC) for initiating this district celebration!
