May 23 – Victoria Day (No School)
Daily Screening Reminder
“York Region Public Health is strongly recommending that all students, teachers, staff and visitors wear a well-fitted three-layer mask in classrooms, common areas, including hallways, and while using school transportation upon return to school on April 19, 2022.
Please refer to the letter sent home to families on April 14, 2022 via email from YRDSB.
Students, staff members and visitors are to continue to review and adhere to the COVID-19 School and Child-Care Screening Tool (please click on Check for Symptoms Daily), prior to entering the school daily. The screening tool has been updated to reflect new masking and isolation requirements.
Additional information about what to do if you have tested positive or been exposed to a positive case can also be found at www.york.ca/safeatschool. Please note that close contacts of a COVID-19 case who are not required to isolate must self-monitor for 10 days (from last exposure) and wear a well-fitted mask in school and child care settings. This includes avoiding activities such as high-contact sports and where masking and/or physical distancing cannot be maintained.
School Assistant Opportunities 2022-23
If you are interested in supporting the school next year with becoming a school assistant, please email parkview.ps@yrdsb.ca. School Lunch Assistants play a significant role as members of our school team. The period of time that school assistants are utilized is one of the busiest times of the school day. The role of school assistants is to provide supervisory support to teaching staff during critical periods of the school day. Supervision duties include supervision of students during the lunch hour from 12:20-1:20pm.
Jump Rope For Heart
Our school is taking part once again in the Heart & Stroke Jump Rope for Heart event this year (our 33rd year at Parkview). Students participate in a variety of physical activities (e.g., skipping, jumping). Leading up to our event day, kids are encouraged to raise funds. Through this, students will earn thank you prizes for their individual fundraising efforts (see other attachment for fundraising information).
By encouraging your child to participate in Jump Rope for Heart, he or she learns the importance of physical activity, healthy eating and giving to others. This event is for our students. You can support by making a donation.
Our Heart & Stroke Jump Rope for Heart Event Day is on:
FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2022
Thank you for helping to make this a great event and for supporting vital heart disease and stroke research and health education! Students are expected to participate in the jump rope event as part of their regular physical education program.

Parking/Drop-off/Pick-up
Parents/guardians who are driving to school should review the map below.
- Parents/guardians should not be stopping on the street (dotted red line on the map) where stopping is NOT permitted and letting their children out, this is unsafe and it blocks traffic.
- Parents/guardians should NOT park in the school parking lot or bus loop. The parking lot is for staff parking only.
- Parents/guardians should NOT be parking where there is a solid red line on the map during drop-off or pick-up
- When dropping off in the loop it is important that you pull up to the front and drive slowly and remain patient as we ensure student safety.
