Principal’s Report:
Parkview’s huge After-School Program will be sent home on Friday, 9/19/2008. There will be 48 classes. 2 buses and new bus-stops have been scheduled. These classes will fill up quickly. Registration due date is 9/26/2008. Joan Johnson is the coordinator of this wonderful After School Program.
The City of Lakeville applied for and received a grant for a Safe Routes to School planning study. The purpose of the study will be to identify opportunities for engineering improvements, educational, encouragement and enforcement activities that will increase the number of students safely walking and biking to Lakeville schools. Parkview Elementary was recognized as part of Lakeville City.
A Walking/Biking audit at Parkview was conducted on September 16. A representative from SRF was at our school to observe how students arrive at school from different points on the school property.
Parkview is requesting the following: A replacement of the sidewalk that can’t be plowed in the winter with a cement sidewalk. Sidewalks along the island between the 2 parking lots should be extended. An additional sidewalk for the 5th grade wing. A sidewalk that is accessible from the KG classrooms. More bike racks. Adult paid crossing guards.

The 2008-2009 school year started out great with an Open House and Parent Night. Times were changed, so as to not interfere with sports schedules. Daycare was provided.
Projected student enrollment for October 1, 2008 is 721.
Pam Haldeman plans to talk with students about discipline and what is important to Parkview and why we are such a good school.
Thank You to the PTO for the breakfast at the August 25 staff workshop.
President’s Report:
The PTO website is now part of the Parkview website and up to date.

- Scrip cards will be sold online and are also available at school. There will be a bigger variety of Scrip cards for the upcoming Holidays.

Parkview Sign:
The Parkview sign is back on the drawing board. We have to come up with a simple design. The sign will be place at the corner of Gerdine Path and Foliage Ave. Thank You to Shelly Larson, a Parkview Parent, for all your time, effort and making contacts for the permanent Parkview sign.
Spring Fundraiser:
We are looking for ideas for this school-years Spring Fling. A letter will be sent home to find a coordinator for this event. May 15, 2008 is the reserved date for the Spring Fling.
