Parents,
The start of school has been really great and the kids are already getting into a routine with their schedule. This is great news for everyone. Hopefully you are finding a routine at home as well!
We are now counting tardies at 7:40 am, each morning so please do your best to have your child here before that time. All kids move to their classrooms between 7:30 and 7:35 am. If your child arrives after 7:40 am, he or she will already have missed the beginning instructions and first activity.
Crosswalk Reminder:
If you park your car to walk your child into the building in the morning, you must use the crosswalk where Mr. Nuss is standing in order to cross the driveway. This is for your safety and the safety of the drivers who must stop for you unexpectedly when you cross in the wrong place.
District Wide College Shirt Day:
This Friday, September 4th, the entire EMS ISD will be celebrating a college day together, so wear your favorite college shirt or colors and join us as we celebrate!
Parkview Shirts on Fridays!
Each Friday, we all wear our Parkview shirts to school. Don't have one yet? We have this year's shirt available for sale in the office for $15. We even have some of last year's shirt still available if you like variety! There will be an opportunity to buy a few more styles later this fall.
Mom Breakfast this Friday, 9/4!
Each month our PTA sponsors a parent breakfast at 7:00 am, in our library. It rotates between moms and dads. The menu is cinnamon rolls, juice, and milk. This month we are hosting moms and their kids. The breakfast will end by 7:30 am, so be here by 7:00 to enjoy breakfast and a short program on parenting.
No School This Monday!
Just a reminder that Monday, Sept 7th, is a holiday and there will be no school!

Dress Code:
The district dress code is available at http://www.emsisd.com/Domain/94 in the student handbook on page 49 and 50. The basics of the dress code are:
-shorts, dresses, and skirts must be fingertip length or longer
-clothing cannot depict anything we do not allow at school (drugs, alcohol, etc)
-leggings are not pants and must have something over them that is fingertip length
-underwear cannot be visible (sagging pants, holes in inappropriate places, tank tops or other tops with bra straps visible are not allowed)
-hair cannot cause a distraction, so no extreme Mohawks or unnatural color on all hair
This year, we will allow:
- tank tops as long as underwear (bra straps) not visible
- a small section of not more than 2" of an unnatural color in the hair
Our students go to the playground every day and it is covered in wood chips. Tennis shoes are always the recommendation for footwear every day.
