Dear Parkview Families,
Due to the rapidly rising Covid-19 case rates in our community, last night our District 196 School Board approved the transition for elementary schools to change to distance learning beginning Monday, November 23.

There will be no school for elementary and early childhood students only on November 19 and 20 to give teachers time to prepare for the move to full-time distance learning. Child care for Tier I critical workers will not be offered November 19 or 20, but will resume November 23 for eligible students in grades K-6.
Our teachers and staff at Parkview will be working over the next three days to plan for a smooth transition for our students and families. We will be sharing details of our Distance Learning plan and expectations for students and schedules very soon.
Thank you for your patience and support.
In Partnership,
Nicole Garcia, Principal

Meal Kits Available During Distance Learning!
Beginning Nov. 19, all students are eligible for free seven-day meal kits to support their learning during full-time distance learning. Meal kits will be available for pick-up at any District 196 school. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has authorized funding for schools to provide meals at no charge to children, 18 and younger, for the entire school year. All families are encouraged to participate in this opportunity.
