Good Bye & Good Luck Robin Tighe (Rawlings’ nurse)
Dear Parents,
I couldn’t be more proud of the teacher leadership that creates the excellent
learning environments at our school. While observing in classrooms we continue to
witness high quality instruction with fully integrated technologies and high levels of
student engagement. Recently, our school underwent the District’s annual Fidelity
Check and we were provided very positive feedback. It is truly amazing the wide range
of learning experiences the students participate in. During the past few weeks, several
examples of enriching student activities include a theater performance on dinosaurs,
Native American festival, listening to an award winning student author, Jake
Marcionette of Just Jake, and the music club performing at the Sawgrass Country
Club. Our students are our first priority and student achievement data supports that
they are learning and thriving. We are extremely proud of the school’s ranking of
being the highest performing elementary school in St. Johns County. We received 633
points towards the A ranked school with the second highest school scoring 615 points.
We have obtained the A rating for over 7 consecutive years. Accomplishing high levels
of student achievement can be attributed to quality teaching, positive parent and
volunteer involvement, and supportive business partners that provide environments
that are rich with quality resources. We are very grateful to all our stakeholders who
contribute to our wonderful school.
The school’s citrus grove of 75 trees has yielded thousands of oranges which
have been served in our cafeteria. Students have devoured this year’s crop. It brings
great pleasure to see students enjoy a healthy homegrown snack.
Our students participate in service learning opportunities throughout the
school year. We are pleased to have our students help support those less fortunate.
The Food Drive collected over 2000 pounds of food helping to feed over 1,600 families.
Donations to Helping for the Holidays provided 40 students with Blessings in a
Backpack, and $2,500 of gift cards to enlisted Navy personnel at Mayport, which
makes the holiday happier for 50 families and the Girls On The Run team conducted a
very successful shoe drive. We are very grateful to our parents who help make these
learning opportunities of giving possible.
We are also very proud of the maintenance of our facility. Under the
direction of Maintenance Coordinator, Brandon Hennessey, the school passed the
annual fire safety inspection. We are appreciative of the custodial staff whose hard
work and dedication keep our school environment clean and healthy.
The Winter Mini Camp offering is attached. This camp may provide a gift
giving idea for your child. Also, proceeds from the camp go directly back to supplying
learning materials for our teachers.
Remember the second semester starts as soon as we return from winter break.
Report cards are issued on Friday, January 9th. As we start a new semester of learning,
I would like to share with you the district’s homework recommendations: The
Instructional Service Department recommends the timeframe for the total amount of
homework is 10 minutes per grade level so, 1st grade would be a total of 10 minutes, 2nd
grade, a total of 20 minutes, etc. Homework should have a specific purpose and
connection to the topic(s) being studied. The purpose of homework could be for the
students to practice or rehearse, to begin preparation for the introduction of new
content or to deepen knowledge and understanding. Parent involvement in homework
should be kept to a minimum. Keeping this in mind, many of our classes use the Math
IXL and Accelerated Reading goals as part of their homework. New IXL and AR
goals begin upon the students return. Please review the website for grade level goals.
The PVPV computer lab is open daily from 8:00-8:20. The Rawlings media center has
student computers available daily as well.
After winter break, the School Advisory Committee will be conducting the
Annual Needs Assessment Survey. Data collected from this survey will provide
support for improvement initiatives. We look forward to receiving your input as we
continuously strive for improvement.
As we enter the season of caring and sharing, we want to let you know how
much we appreciate all your support and especially appreciate you sharing your child
with us. May the holiday bring you and your family quality time with loved ones and
opportunities for making treasured memories.
Don’t forget to READ, READ, READ!!! See you next year! School resumes
for students on Tuesday, January 6th.

Battle of the Books! The Battle of the Books is a fun and exciting reading competition for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students that has been very successful in school districts throughout the state. Students participating in the program will be asked to read the current Sunshine State Young Reader's Award Program (SSYRA) books. In March, our school will hold grade level competitions where students will be asked to recall information about the plots, characters, authors and settings of the books. This competition is known as the Battle of the Books! One class will be declared the winner for their grade level. Each class will have five students selected to be on their class team. Students will be selected to be on their class team based on the following scores:
Rounds 1 & 2 - Students will participate in two battles during media resource classes in January/February.
Students will receive one point for each correct answer in these battles. (Students must correctly identify the SSYRA book used in a question or quote.)
Round 3 - The number of SSYRA books read will be added to their battle scores.
The five students with the highest scores will make up each class team.
In the event of a tie, AR test scores will be added to their score. Example: Round 1 (20 pts possible): Student Score from week 1 = 20 Round 2 (20 pts possible): Student Score from week 2 = 18 Round 3 (15 pts possible): Number of SSYRA Books read = 15 Student Score = 53
Please email Mr. Edeker if you have any questions about the upcoming Battle of the Books competition.
Viewing Student AR Points during the 2nd Semester Students are unable to see their AR points for the entire school year while in RenPlace (Accelerated
Reader).
Students must use AR HOME CONNECT (link on our Student Sites web page) to view AR points for
the entire school year. To see AR points for the entire school year:
Log in to AR Home Connect
Change the Current Marking Period to School Year
All students start over with zero AR points for the 2nd semester and must earn their grade level goal
for the 2nd semester.
Points earned in the 1st semester are still in the RenPlace AR database and will count for Principal for
the Day.
Grade level semester AR goals: K = 12 1st = 20 2nd = 30 3rd = 36 4th = 58 5th = 70

It’s Harvest Time for the 75 orange trees on PVPV/
Rawlings Elementary Campus. It’s Florida, so why not grow your
own oranges for the students? PVPV/Rawlings’ is the site of the
largest orange grove in northeast Florida. We started planting
orange trees thirteen years ago to simply provide fresh fruit for
our students. Our Dad’s Club, under the direction of Rick Parrish,
maintains the
trees
spending
time on
weekends
mulching,
fertilizing,
and pruning.
Last year we
were able to add a drip irrigation system to support our trees. Our
Student Council harvests the oranges as part of their service to our
school. The recent harvest produced thousands of oranges which are
offered to all students in our cafeteria at no cost…while supplies last. A
delicious snack and full of vitamin C, these oranges have become part of
a healthy tradition at PVPV/Rawlings.

Generosity and Stewardship “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.”
Booker T. Washington
Stewardship and generosity is a mindset of giving unconditionally without expectation
that you will benefit from the action.
When children shift their attention from themselves and focus on helping others by using their
unique talents and abilities, they find a greater joy, inspiration and satisfaction in their own life. Our students and families have just concluded an amazing feat of collecting almost 2,000 pounds of
food which was donated to Farm Share food bank. The children gave unconditionally, knowing it
would benefit those who struggle with having enough food for their families. This act of service
allowed our students to experience generosity and stewardship and knowing that their actions make
a difference.
Teaching your children about stewardship and generosity: With your thoughts and words. Positive thoughts are powerful. They drive our attitudes
and words toward others. Encourage positive thoughts with your children; they produce
uplifting words and a kind heart full of giving and sharing.
With Literature. Read books and biographies with your children about people who have
dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others. These stories encourage conversation
with our children about the value of stewardship.
With your actions. Look for ways to be helpful and kind throughout the day to make life
easier for others. Talk about these opportunities with your children and share the experiences
with them. Performing “random acts of kindness” toward others teaches your children
awareness of need, without expectations of reward for their actions.
“Everyone can be hurtful to others at
times. PVPV/Rawlings encourages each child
to use the Golden Rule when handling difficult
situations. If the situation causes the student to
feel unsafe, the student is encouraged to let an
adult know so that the problem can be
solved. It is always the student’s right to com-
plete a ‘suspecting bullying and harassment
reporting form’ found on our website or in the
front office. Each incident will be thoroughly
investigated.”

CAFETERIA NEWS! Food Service Manager, Linda Baker, 547-8576
Help us go paperless with our Food Service Program! Did you know there are apps to monitor your child’s lunch account as well as our daily lunch
menu which includes the nutritional values? Please visit our web page in the lunchroom section
and click on PayPAMS. After you enroll your child, this site will send messages by email when
your child is getting low in their lunch account and it will also allow you to review your child’s
purchases. If you want to apply money to your child’s account, there is a fee of $2.00. You can
also send your child’s lunch money in with him/her to be added to his/her account and still be
part of the PayPams program. When a student account is overdrawn by the cost of two lunches,
we are required to provide the student with a cheese sandwich and milk. Our manager, Linda
Baker, will do her best to call parents when accounts are overdrawn. However, we need your
help keeping your child’s account current. Parents, please contact Mrs. Baker if you do NOT want your child to
1) buy breakfast, 2) buy an extra entrée, 3) buy a cookie ($.35 on Friday)
Linda also needs to know, in advance, if any adult is buying a school lunch.
