Prince Edward County Elementary School

Registration for Town of Farmville volleyball is now open. Please note: This community event is not sponsored by PECPS.

Each year, the Southside Governor's School offers an outreach event over two days.  Several PECPS 3rd-8th graders were able to attend this year. Our Prince Edward Eagles learned a great deal, participated actively, and had LOADS of fun.  Each station taught various science and math concepts, coupled with an engaging theme.  Juniors and Seniors of the Southside Governor's School have been preparing their stations since May and their enthusiasm was reflected in their costumes and props, carefully prepared to focus the lesson accordingly.  We are so grateful that this educational opportunity is offered to the Southside area of Virginia!  

Last week's Parent-Teacher Conferences provided a wonderful opportunity for families and teachers to connect, share updates, and celebrate student progress. Our teachers and staff are always here to support our Eagles and work alongside families throughout the school year. Don’t forget, families can stay connected through Connect (formerly Rooms), which is part of the PECPS app, available in the App Store and Google Play. Thank you for being an important part of the Eagle Family! 💜💛

🎤 Our Students Have a Voice — and We’re Listening!

Last week, Dr. Jones had the opportunity to meet with student panels at the elementary, middle, and high school levels to hear directly from our Eagles about their school experiences.

There was plenty of positive feedback, along with thoughtful ideas about how we can continue to grow. Here are a few highlights:

🦅 At PECHS: Students shared that they are enjoying hands-on learning, particularly in Auto Tech, Anatomy, English, and SVCC dual enrollment courses. They also noted improvements in restroom behavior and vaping, growing school spirit, and the success of our athletic teams. Students also shared ideas about increasing access to athletic events and expanding CTE and dual enrollment opportunities.

🦅 At PECMS: Students talked about enjoying math, science, English, history, and electives like Career Class, Art, and PE. They asked for more hands-on activities, less screen time, more themed days, and additional field trip opportunities.

🦅 At PECES: Our youngest Eagles described their school as “awesome,” “amazing,” and “good!” They talked about teachers making learning fun, spending time outside, being with friends, and being proud of what they are learning. And, of course, they had plenty of ideas for field trips! 🦁

🍎 School Nutrition: Students across all three levels also shared their favorite meals and provided honest feedback and suggestions about breakfast options, food freshness, gluten-free choices, and line speed.

A special shout-out to PECHS for the noticeable improvement in discipline numbers compared to this time last year! 👏

The biggest takeaway? Our students have a voice, and we need to hear it.

Thank you to our students for being honest, thoughtful, and willing to share their ideas — and to our staff for creating environments where students feel comfortable speaking up.

There is a lot of good happening across Prince Edward County Public Schools. Let’s keep listening, keep improving, and keep moving forward!
