Letter From a Parent
With everything going on, sometimes we forget why we do what we do. I don't get these letter often, but I know for a fact that our parents really feel this way about our teachers and school. THANK YOU for making Park View a special place for our kids.
Important Info
Positive Phone Calls
During 3rd quarter we need to reach out to all of our Park View students to give each child a positive phone call home
The child you call does not need to be your student, if you have a positive interaction with a student and it's worthy of a call home please do so.
All Staff need to make positive calls home...classroom teachers, enhancements, specialist, office staff, TA's...
Here is a Phone Call List with every student in Park View...once you complete a call please fill out the form so everyone knows that child received a positive call already.
Let's give every student and family something to smile about
Instructional Assistant Reviews
- It's time for all certified teachers to complete a MID Year Review for your instructional assistant and to let them know how much they are appreciated, and provide important feedback !
- If you share your IA, please pair up to complete the review and share it with your assistant before turning it in to Mr. Hobbs. There will be a marked envelope my box outside his office.
- Both Mr. Hobbs and Ms. Johnson are available to you if you would like help with the process, or like them to attend your review conference. Please complete this by Wednesday, February 22, 2017.
