Do you have a rising kindergartner hoping to join their older sibling(s) at Parkview next year?

All Roseville Area Schools offer sibling preference in placement. To be given early preference, siblings are required to complete an application by January 15, 2025. After January 15, siblings will still have preference but could be wait listed due to space availability. This means that siblings of current students will be placed into the school/program before the initial application review based on space availability.

Visit HERE for more info on Kindergarten Enrollment and mark your calendars for Parkview's Kindergarten Welcome Night on March 4, 2025 (6m-7:30pm).

Thanks to the "You're Not Alone" (YNA) program and the Lions Club, Parkview students had the opportunity to visit with Gidget the Therapy Dog this week!

YNA focuses on teaching and fostering social-emotional skills that support mental health and wellness— building skills our students can use now and beyond. Spending time with Gidget is always a highlight for our students:

🗨️ "It makes me feel more relaxed for the rest of the day."
🗨️ "She’s very fluffy, so it’s very calming."

To learn more about YNA and their amazing work, click here to visit their site!
