SchoolSpeak is our Student Information System that will be used for grading as well as all electronic school communication, including announcements, teacher messages, newsletters, forms, calendar, and your child's grades. All parents are provided with an account and login information. It is here that parents are able to consistently stay up-to-date on school information and to update any personal information.

Throughout the year, PVA hosts activities in conjunction with school staff to benefit the students, faculty, parents, and school.
Parent Service and Fundraising Requirements
We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children. As parents work in partnership with OLPH school a sense of community and family is developed. Parent volunteers are invaluable on the OLPH campus. When OLPH parents work side by side a stronger community is built for the children. Through parental example, our students learn the value of service.
Parents are required to volunteer a minimum of 50 hours (25 hours for a single parent family) of service throughout the school year. Twelve hours will be served at the annual fall carnival.
The remaining 38 hours (13 hours for a single parent) may be served in the following ways: (this is an abbreviated list of service opportunities)
