New to the 2023 yearbook: Community photo upload!
A fun new feature of our yearbook this year is the ability to have our Park View community upload pictures you are taking. This can be photos at an event, school volunteer opportunities, or class celebrations. To upload photos directly to the yearbook site to be used in this year's book, visit: https://community.lifetouch.com/invite...
- Use the invite code: PARKVIEW-PANTHERS-23
- Upload photos you think would be great in the yearbook: First day of school, classroom parties, clubs, band, orchestra, etc.
- When you upload them, title them with your student's grade and the activity pictured so they can be organized later (example "4th_Halloween")
Contact Hope Serritella at PVYB2023@gmail.com with any questions.
Families may be charged for damage to district technology devices
Families should have a conversation at home about the importance of appropriately using the district's technology devices (as outlined in the district’s Acceptable Use Policy.) Appropriate use includes: carrying the device carefully, keeping liquids away from devices, and not leaving devices in areas with extreme heat or cold.
When a district device (such as an iPad or Chromebook) is damaged or lost due to negligence or misuse, the repair or replacement will be the family’s responsibility. A list of charges is available at: https://www.ccsd89.org/techdamage
