Panther Weekly

Thank you to everyone who participated in our curriculum night open house last night. I was great to see so many students and families learning more about their student's academic day.

If you have not had a chance to take our parent survey about curriculum night, please take a minute to offer your feedback. We have changed our format and value your opinion. Even if you were not able to attend, please take the survey. We are trying to assess and identify barriers to families attending.

On September 24, Park View students will be participating in the regular lockdown drill with the Glen Ellyn Police Department. This drill is similar to the drills that students participate in each year. It involves teachers locking their classroom doors, turning off lights, and students practicing strategies to stay safe. There are no loud noises or alarms.

During the drill, a police officer will walk through the building with the principal, ensuring that each door is secured. The drill should take less than 10 minutes.

These drills are an important part of keeping our school safe. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Mate.

Order forms for picture day were sent home this week. Scan the QR code below or use our school ID, EVTBQGMKZ to order pictures.
