Meet the Teachers!

We are excited to see all of our new and returning Parkview students! You will have your first opportunity to come see us this week when we hand out teacher assignments.  (You must have completed online registration in order to receive a teacher assignment!)

• Thursday, August 13th, noon to 8 pm
• Friday, August 14th, 8 am to 4 pm
• Tuesday, August 18th, 6 pm to 8 pm

Additionally, we are offering an orientation meeting to our new students and parents.  This is not required, but may be helpful to those of you new to our school.  (Both sessions will be the same and will include information about the school day and a tour of our building.)

• Friday, August 14th, 11 am 
• Tuesday, August 18th, 7 pm

Meet the Teacher will be held on Thursday, August 20th! Come meet your teacher and drop off your school supplies! (We encourage you to bring all supplies this night so you can help carry them to the room.)

• 1st - 5th grade, 6:00-7:30 pm, come and go
• Kindergarten, 7:00-7:45 pm, parent meeting

Speaking of school supplies, we do have some pre-packaged supplies still available for sale in our office.  Come by before we run out!  Pre-packaged supplies will be delivered to your child's room before Meet the Teacher.  Supply lists are available online at www.emsisd.com/site/Default.aspx?PageID=621  

School will start on Monday, August 24th.  Doors open at 7:10 am.  Breakfast is served 7:10-7:30 am, daily.  Students will move to their classrooms at 7:30 am, and will be tardy if not in class by 7:40 am.  The lunch schedule will be as follows: 

• Kinder 10:45-11:15
• 1st grade 11:10-11:40
• 2nd grade 12:50-1:20
• Novoa and Carreno 12:15-12:45
• 3rd grade 12:00-12:30
• 4th grade 12:25-12:55
• 5th grade 11:35-12:05

School will dismiss at 2:40 pm, daily.  We ask that you allow your child to ride the bus on the first day of school if that will be his/her normal form of transportation.  If you will be doing parent pick up, review the map you receive at Meet the Teacher to be sure you are in the correct line.  Siblings will be at the pick up of the youngest child.  Please inform your older kids' teachers if this is the case for your family. (Ex: if you have a kindergartner and a 3rd grader, both children will be picked up in the kindergarten line and you need to tell the 3rd grade teacher about the Kinder sibling.)

This will be our new format for parent newsletters from the office.  You can subscribe by completing the "follow by email" on the top right of this page and you will receive updates automatically! We will continue to send phone messages and use the Remind text messaging system.  Please be sure you have signed up for Remind by sending a text message to 81010 that says @parkviewp (this is short for parkview parents so the "p" is supposed to be on the end).  (All teachers will be using Remind in their classrooms to send messages to parents this year as well.)

If you have questions or need help in any way before we see you, feel free to call or email!

Can't wait to see you again!

Mrs. Epps, Principal
