Parkview Families,
We were honored to have the superintendent for the state of Utah, Dr. Sydnee Dickson, a board member from the Utah Board of Education, and leaders from Salt Lake School District visit Parkview last week to see the fantastic learning and instruction in our school. It was a great experience to take them into classrooms at our school to see our students actively engaged in learning and discuss our successes with them. We appreciate how hard our students and teachers work each day and feel very lucky to work at Parkview.
Thank you to our parents who attended our fourth grade Eureka math activity last week. It was fun to watch the students explain how they are learning math to their parents. Each month you will be invited to attend a math class with your students. Please make every effort to come and support your children.

Salt Lake County’s Lead Safe Housing Program is doing community outreach with Parkview Elementary.
If you live in a home that was built before 1978, your house could contain lead-based paint. Lead is dangerous for everyone, especially for those who are six years old and younger. Lead poisoning can lead to slow growth and development, learning and behavior problems, and hearing and speech problems.
In order to be eligible for free lead testing, you must meet the following requirements:
-Home must be older than 1978
-Have children under age 6
-Meet income qualifications

PROJECT REALITY
Please join us and other families on Wednesdays from 5:30-8pm on Oct 18-December 13 for a FREE community class about family management, discipline, sharing emotions, and how to talk to your kids about drugs, sex and violence. Classes will be held in the Parkview library; dinner and childcare will be provided. Classes are in Spanish and English. There will not be class on Wednesday 11/22 because of Thanksgiving.
We were so excited to have Discover Processing Services visit our school. Discover has been a valuable asset to the Parkview community. They have donated holiday trees from the Festival of Trees and included gifts to Parkview families. This Wednesday they were able to come and hand out Thanksgiving meals to 34 Parkview families. Thank you so much Discover Processing Services for your generosity and support of the Parkview community. Visit the full gallery!
This week the 5th grade had the opportunity to participate in the Bio Eyes Program. We had a scientist come from the University of Utah and helped guide us through an experiment with zebra fish. We learned that zebra fish live in tropical waters. We did an experiment where we watched the fish embryos grow at 75 degree water and 87 degree water. We saw that the fish developed faster in the 87 degree water than the 75 degree water. The students had a blast and learned a lot. "It was fun because we were able to watch a fish transfer into life and watch an embryo go through the stages"- Tu'ui.

“Growl Bengals, Growl!” In an effort to get our kids excited about going to college, Ms. Miller’s 3rd grade class reached out to Idaho State University to let them know we are supporting and representing them at Parkview. Her class received an enthusiastic response from the College of Education! They were pleased to hear her class’s goals for being college ready and were kind enough to send some “ISU swag”. They sent a care package full of fun stuff, like t-shirts, sunglasses, stickers, a Benny the Bengal balloon (their mascot), and more.
This year at Parkview, Thursdays have been dedicated to wearing college swag to show support for various colleges. Ms. Miller’s class was excited to show off their swag to the rest of the school last Thursday! They wore their ISU t-shirts and sunglasses all day! Ms. Miller’s class is working hard to be college ready so they can go to a school like ISU.
