Immunization Notice
Dear parents of female Grade 8 students and parents of all Grade 7 students:
This is a reminder of the upcoming immunization clinic planned for our school.
York Region Public Health will be visiting our school on Tuesday December 15th to offer immunization against meningococcal disease (grade 7 students) and HPV human papillomavirus (grade 8 female students) as part of their school immunization clinic program. If you would like your child to be immunized, ensure York Region Public Health has your completed consent form on or before the day of the clinic. If you have not already mailed in a completed consent form to York Region Public Health, you can download and print an immunization consent form from the School Immunization Clinics page on york.ca. The completed consent form can be sent to school with your child the day of the clinic.
For questions regarding vaccines or the school immunization program you can call York Region Public Health’s Immunization Program at 1-877-464-9675 ext. 73452.
Junior Winter Concert 
The Junior Division would like to update the Parkview community with exciting news about our Winter Holiday concert. With the recent resolution to teacher job action, the teachers felt that the time remaining prior to the holidays was too brief to organize a spectacular performance by the junior students at Parkview. As a team, the teachers have decided to move the date of the Winter Concert to Thursday, March 10th.
So please mark this date on your calendar…we look forward to seeing you and your family on Thursday, March 10th, 2016!
Grade 8 Grad Update
Grade 8 Grad Bottle Drive will be starting on Monday, December 18th. Please assist your child in picking up cans and bottles to return to The Beer Store before January 5th. Don’t forget that the tabs from the cans can be removed and brought in to the school to be recycled. Thank you from your Grad Committee.
