					<description><![CDATA[Plavan Elementary: A 2023 California Distinguished School!!!
 
I am thrilled to announce that Plavan Elementary School has been recognized as a California Distinguished School for 2023! 
 
The California Distinguished Schools program recognizes schools for their outstanding work around two categories:  1) Exceptional student performance and 2) Closing the achievement gap.  
 
Of the eligible schools, the ones that are recognized have exhibited excellent performance on all state indicators as specified on the California School Dashboard.  The indicators include exceptional state assessment results, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates, and socioeconomic and subgroup data that show progress in reducing the achievement gap.
 
Plavan Elementary was one of 38 Orange County schools honored this year.  This tremendous recognition is the result of hard work, dedication, and collaborative diligence shown by our staff, school leaders, and our families to educate the “whole” child on our campus. 
 
Congratulations to our staff, students, and families for achieving this prestigious honor!  
 
~Dr. Ham]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://plavan.fvsd.us/apps/news/article/1601905</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[If your child's class will be going on a field trip, you will be notified directly by your child's teacher.  We've included a field trip permission slip (generic blank) attached to this message in case you've misplaced the permission slip that was sent home with your child.  Not all grades will have a field trip away from school.  Some grades may have field trip-like programs held on campus where no travel is required.  

If you are a parent, guardian or extended family member and wish to volunteer as a field trip chaperone, the State of California requires all field trip chaperones to be cleared at a Level 2.  Please see the attachment that lists the requirements to be a Level 1 or Level 2 cleared volunteer.  Level 2 LiveScan Background check forms can be picked up in the office or sent home with your child.  Please contact the office to request the form. Keep in mind the Livescan fingerprinting and Department of Justice process can take two weeks or more to complete.  Once the Livescan process is complete, it is valid for the entire time your child is enrolled in Fountain Valley School District.  Livescans for other entities do not count, as they are confidential and go directly to our HR department once approved.

Sometimes events are held where family members are not required to have clearance, such as promotion activities, plays and other faculty supervised events where the family members present are not working directly with or supervising students, and rather attending a performance event.  

If you are unsure, please contact the school office to determine whether volunteer clearance is needed for the specific activity or event being held.

We thank all of our volunteers and families for helping to make Plavan such a wonderfully supportive community to help enrich the lives of our students.]]></description>
