Parkview Happenings…

On By Parkview PS

Please see the correction below regarding the Girls Volleyball Tournament tomorrow – it will be held at Unionville High School. We apologize for any confusion.

Check out our September / October Newsletter.

Parkview PS is pleased to share that we will continue using EDSBY to support communication between the board / school and our families. We will be utilizing the EDSBY platform to support Parent-Teacher Interview scheduling. This will be open to parents next week. We will send an email blast to all families followed by the invitation from Edsby. Reminder: Interviews will be open to Y2/SK – 8 families, while Y1/JK families will be invited in for an observation of learning.

From November 19th to 23th, Parkview will be participating in the Bag2School Used Clothing Collection Fundraiser again this year. Please consider donating unwanted men’s, women’s and children’s clothing items including footwear, outwear, towels, linens, belts, handbags and backpacks to help keep them out of the landfill while raising money for our school. Items can be brought into Parkview in any bag, box or bin you have at home. The more items we collect, the more money we raise!

Parkview will honour Remembrance Day on Friday, November 9th. All week, Parkview will be collecting donations to raise funds in support of Veterans and their families. If you would like donate, please send your donation in an envelope or ziploc bag marked ‘Poppy Donation’ with your child to school. We would like to remind all of our families that pictures and videos are not permitted during this assembly. We also request that you reiterate with your child(ren) that there is no applause during a Remembrance Day assembly. Families are welcome to join us at the following times:

  • FDK and Grades 3-6 @ 10:55am
  • Grades 1-2 (including Ms. Prasad’s Y2/1 and Mr. DaPonte’s 2/3) and Grades 7-8 @ 1:45pm

The York Region District School Board recognizes the value that technology can bring to support student achievement and well-being while enhancing communication with families and the community at large. At Parkview Public School, we recognize that learning can be enhanced by technology and we have created opportunities to leverage digital tools that support teaching, learning and communication. Using technology and social media also gives educators and families an opportunity to teach students about the appropriate and responsible use of these tools. It has come to our attention that specific social media accounts have been created and continue to operate about our school community under our school name. These accounts are not owned or administered by Parkview Public School staff, nor is the messaging of these accounts reflective of our values here at Parkview Public School.

  • Monday: School Council Meeting @ 7:00pm
  • Monday: Girls Volleyball Tournament @ UHS
  • Tuesday: Diamond Day (Diwali)
  • Wednesday: Intermediate Girls Volleyball Tournament @ Wilclay
  • Thursday: Grade 6 VIP

Please join us for our first School Council Fundraiser. It will take place at Chapters, 3175 Highway 7 on November 15th, 2018 from 6-9pm. 20% of the total proceeds will go back to our Parkview students for learning materials! Come out & meet Parkview families!

The York Region District School Board will begin the Every Student Counts Survey (ESCS) over the next few weeks. The purpose of this census survey is to better understand YRDSB’s diverse student population as well as students’ experiences in school and outside of school. Soon, a letter will be coming home with your child outlining more details.

Our Settlement and Education Partnership in York Region (SEPYR) partner, Ms. Julie Zhang, is with us at Parkview every Monday morning. You are invited to contact Julie to for support @ 416.567.4026 or email: jzhang@ccsyr.org

All communication from the school comes via:

We would like to remind all of our families that our goal is to work together to support the well-being of all our students. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to working in partnership with our Parkview Community.

Our next School Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 5th @ 7:00pm. All are welcome, invited and encouraged to attend.
