Parkview Celebrates Veterans
As Veteran's Day approaches (November 11) Parkview students and staff are honoring our armed services veterans in a variety of ways: lessons have been planned to help the students learn the history of Veteran's Day, Veterans-honoring art projects have been carried out, and displays have been created for our hallways. We understand that it is thanks to our veterans that we continue to enjoy our distinctive American way of life -- freedom and equality -- which is displayed every day in our public schools!

New Parkview Sign Installed
As summer 2009 drew to a close, a few diligent parent volunteers installed a new sign for our lot corner. The sign was generously donated by Parkview families with assistance from the PTO. We think the sign looks great we are very thankful for the tremendous support given to us all by our families!
Annual Fall Parade 2009

Special Pricing for Parkview Families Announced for Microsoft Software
Recently, Microsoft made available to all Parkview students and staff the Microsoft Student Select program which allows any current student or staff member to purchase select products at nearly the same price as the district pays plus the cost of the CD and shipping. To make a purchase at these reduced rates, you must buy your products on-line at http://district196.e-academy.com . While you may browse the products and prices by visiting the on-line store, you will need a registration code that verifies your status as a parent of a Parkview child in order to make a purchase. You may request a registration code using the form on our site.
Online Fee Payment Has Arrived!
Enables Parents to Load Lunch Accounts Via Web
Parents are now able to add money to their child’s school meal account using a VISA, MasterCard, Discover Card or checking/savings account transfer. There will be a 4.29 percent fee for the convenience of using the FeePay service; District 196 will not receive any money from these fees, which go directly to the service providers. You may read more about this new program on the district web site. Once you have picked up your access code in person at Parkview, you may set up your account.
Something from the kitchen... lunch prices are $2.05 per day, which comes to just $10.25 per week. Please send all cash in an envelope with the student's name, lunch account number and teacher on the outside of the envelope. When sending in a check, if your child's last name is different from yours, please add that on the memo line of the check. You can look up your student's account balance any time. You'll need your child's student ID number and PIN. Just click the apple to try it out or to learn more.
