Parkview Elementary Weekly News

Dear Parkview Families,

We hope you are enjoying this beautiful November weekend. It has been a very busy month at school for all of us. Thank you to all of the families who came out for the Family Connections Event last week. We had a great turn out and it was so much fun to see everyone enjoying the time together. We are grateful for our school community and the many staff who plan and organize our special events.

This coming week, we have our first music program with our second grade students for their family members at 1:10 PM on Wednesday. It will be a special event, as it is the first performance for these students in front of an audience and they have been working very hard to prepare. The following week, our third graders will have their music program on Thursday, November 30, at 6:00 PM. These are the first of many more special occasions we are so excited to share.

The weather continues to be unpredictable. Thank you in advance for reminding your child to bring clothes for the outdoor weather. We plan to have students be outside for recess on every day the weather permits. It is much more fun to play when the students have what they. need for warm clothes. If you need support in obtaining winter gear, please reach out to our school social workers and they can help connect you with resources.

We wish you all a wonderful week!
Sincerely,

Nicole Garcia, Principal

Parkview has three corners in our walking attendance area where we have assiged 5th grade school patrols each morning and afternoon.

School Patrols are at Crosswalks from 9:05-9:15 AM and 3:45-3:55 PM each day at the following locations:

• Foliage and Gerdine
• Gerdine Crosswalk by the ice rink
• The crosswalk of Foliage and the Parkview property by our back lot

We have been working with our 196 Facilities Department and the City of Lakeville to review required safety protocols for our crosswalks. We will no longer have an adult at the crosswalk intersections of Flagstaff and Gerdine and Foliage and Gerdine on a regular basis, as these corners are sufficiently marked with a four way stop and crosswalks.

Our Adult Patrol Supervisors will be checking in with student patrols at all corners every week to ensure safe crossings.

All Parkview students are invited to enter a drawing into our Yearbook Cover Contest.

There will be 1 winner selected for the front cover and 4 winners for the back cover.
