This article here, published by Common Sense, gives a lot of good tips for families who are looking to support their children in developing healthy digital skills.

School pictures are ready!

The League of Women Voters - Glen Ellyn will have a voter-registration table at Park View from 3 to 4 p.m. on Monday, September 23; Monday, September 30; and Monday, October 7. Volunteers will be set up near the playground to help families register to vote. If you're already registered, you can also update your voting address, check your polling location, or even request a vote-by-mail ballot. This is a non-partisan service for Park View families. There will be no candidate information at this event; this is only for information related to voter registration. Questions may be directed to League of Women Voters volunteer Emily Henkels at emilyhenkels@gmail.com.

As a reminder, students in third, fourth, and fifth grades will be taking the Behavioral and Emotional Screening System (commonly known as BESS) the next few weeks in class. The BESS measures students’ ability to manage emotions and make good decisions. Want to learn more about BESS?

Testing Schedule:

3rd grade: September 23-25

4th grade: September 30-October 2

5th grade: October 7-9

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.

Come join Park View staff for a fun night out at Culver's (908 E Roosevelt Rd.) and help support the PTC! Park View staff and teachers will be at Culver's during this fundraiser to be part of the Culver's team. One of your teachers might be the one to deliver your order to the table!

It will be a fun night for both students and staff. A percentage of the orders from our time frame will go to the PTC. Tell your friends and family to stop by too!
