As-Salaamu Alaikum,

 We are almost half way through the second semester of this academic year.  As the next few weeks unfold, we look forward to your participation in the upcoming events and your continued support as we celebrate our achievements.

· Pleasant View School will host a viewing of  the must see documentary, "Race to Nowhere", Sunday January 22 at 3:30pm at the University Center Theater 499 University Room 145, Memphis, Tennessee 38152. The film will be followed by a panel discussion by educational leaders from local private and public schools as well as parents.  Don’t miss out on this opportunity and get your tickets today!

· Our Annual Science Fair will take place January 25-27, insha’Allah.  We are looking forward to see our young scientists compete with their inquisitive projects.

· Our Panthers Basketball teams kicked off the season December 3, 2011.  They will play against other school teams in the city. We wish them the best of luck.  Go Panthers!

· Our students completed the second session of the Discovery Education Assessment on December 18, 2011.  The assessment results will be utilized to direct class instruction and monitor intervention plans. The assessment results are posted on our website for your review.  If you would like to obtain more detailed information on your child’s performance, please contact his/her teacher.

Lastly, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Kindergarten Teacher, Ms. Raniyah Rahman who joined Pleasant View School On December 12, 2011.  Welcome to PVS!
