Parkview Weekly Notes
October 17, 2019
Parkview
Cold Weather
Please help your children be responsible and safe by dressing appropriately for the weather. At Parkview, when the temperature is below 55 degrees we expect students to wear a jacket and long pants or leggings for recess. Please reinforce at home that as winter weather approaches, it is time to dig out the winter coats, boots, hats and gloves or mittens and even check the weather report to see what is in the forecast.
A Note from Mrs. Holck
Did you know that students with regular attendance are more likely to read well, be more engaged in school and feel better about themselves? This school year, Parkview will be putting focus on improving our attendance numbers to ensure our students succeed socially and emotionally as well as academically. Please see the attached article for a few tips on how to foster good attendance habits.
Free & Reduced-Priced Lunch Program
Is your child eating lunch at school? Students enrolled in the free or reduced-priced lunch program receive school meals at a free or reduced rate at our schools.
New this year, Cedarburg School District is offering a School Breakfast program for Middle and High School students at a cost of paid: $1.50, reduced: $0.30. Meals are served before the school day begins at the CHS Snack Shack and Webster Cafeteria. The breakfast must meet the daily minimum requirements for all three food groups at breakfast (milk, fruit, grain/meat/meat alternative).
To make sure that your child is taking advantage of the nutritious meals offered at school every day, lunch menus for the month are posted on our website under the Families tab.
Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year and can be found on the Cedarburg School District Website under Families/Lunch Information or by contacting Ann Weaver at aweaver@cedarburg.k12.wi.us.
Last Call for Box Tops!
Box Tops are moving into the digital age! You can now download the Box Tops app, scan your store receipts and the app will automatically add 10 cents for each Box Tops purchase to our school’s earnings online. There are lots of bonus offers available too! Please see the attached FAQS for additional information on the new online program.
We are still collecting current (not expired) physical Box Tops clips at Parkview, they can be turned into the office any time prior to the expiration date.
Continue to shop, clip or scan and earn money for Parkview! It’s super easy to divide your physical Box Tops clips in bundles of 25 or 50 (it’s great math practice) and it’s also fun to use the Hop to It Collection Sheet-25 or the Three Cheers for Box Tops Collection Sheet-50. Every Box Tops collected is worth $0.10 for Parkview. The first collection due date for this school year is Friday, October 18.

There's a Super Hero Inside All of Us!
Our PBIS School-Wide Celebration will be Thursday, October 31. Students are earning Parkview Pride tickets (for classroom incentives) and earning classroom compliments to be collected towards our Super Hero Day! Parkview students are doing an amazing job demonstrating Parkview Pride: being safe, respectful, and responsible! When these behaviors are demonstrated students will receive compliments. On October 31, students and staff will be invited to dress-up like a Super Hero or a real hero that they admire. Guidelines for dress-up: students need to be able to wear their costume to school that day (students will not be given time to change into costumes during the day), whatever is worn should not be distracting to learning and no weapon-type props are to be brought into school. If a student has a mask to go with their outfit then they will be invited to wear the mask during our Super Hero parade at the end of the day (they will not be able to wear the mask for the entire day during instruction). Dressing up does not need to be elaborate or costly-use your imagination! Classes will participate in an activity: There's a Super Hero Inside All of Us! At the end of the school day, our students will parade through the halls with Super Hero music and show their Parkview Pride.
