Reaching for the Rainbow at Parkview Elementary School
Each day, the halls of Parkview Elementary School are filled with diverse learning opportunities for the students. Known as the “country school” because of our location, we are surrounded by open fields which allows for wide open spaces to play and learn outside.
Parkview is the youngest elementary school in Charlotte at forty years old, but she doesn’t show her age! The well-kept wide halls and multiple learning spaces allow our dedicated staff to provide small group instruction to meet every child’s learning style, which is the goal of each staff member. Our very talented teachers and support staff are motivated to help each child reach their full learning potential and use innovative strategies to help everyone learn.
Learning within the classroom is not the only goal for Parkview students. They also strive to develop their leadership qualities and contribute to their community in positive and meaningful ways.
Bee Safe, Bee Respectful, and Bee Responsible are daily themes that all students at Parkview adhere to. Our PTO supported Student Safety Team helps students make a safe transition to their classrooms each morning. Daily Bee Awards are given to students who are “caught” following the three bees. Recognizing students each morning on the Parkview PVTV student led broadcast highlights students who
are showing that they are great leaders in our school.
A student directed Recycling Center is fully implemented to help our students understand that they have a responsibility to keep our earth healthy. An afterschool Leadership Team is running smoothly with a campaign to raise funds to support a local charity, as well as, being tour guides at our annual Kindergarten Open House.
Parkview has a very active Parent/Teacher Organization. Each month, the PTO sponsors a student activity such as a Family Fun Night, Book Fair, Math Night, and all school assemblies. Through fund raising efforts, the PTO has also supported many teacher mini-grants that have allowed staff members to purchase items or provide experiences that enhance student learning.
Even though Parkview is the largest elementary, it does not deter the dedicated staff from their goal of acknowledging each student for following the three bees, enhancing students’ abilities, helping students become leaders in their community, and reaching any goal they have set for themselves.
Our doors are always open if you would like to come and visit our school. Children are having fun learning everyday at Parkview…stop by and see!
