A K-8 school is a welcoming, nurturing community that respects diversity and encourages open communication and inter-grade/inter-age interactions to provide continuity academically and socially for learners. 

Students internalize a sense of responsibility for their education and learning environments. They are reflective learners who set goals, take risks, and view failure as critical to the learning process. Respectful learners seek collegiality and contribute to a common good.

We believe educational teams are essential to promote belonging, communication, trust and respect among staff, students, families  and community. Student-centered educational teams consist of diverse groups of people who share responsibility for promoting authentic and lifelong learning.

Drinking water throughout the school day is healthy for students and encouraged. Students are not allowed to bring energy drinks, pop or juice to have in their classrooms or hallways.  Students are allowed to have juice during their lunchtime but must finish it before leaving the cafeteria.

Roseville Area Schools is committed to providing learning and work environments that are healthy and safe for all students and staff. To this end, all district schools and instructional support facilities have been designated as latex-reduced environments. The following guidelines are in place at all district schools and instructional support facilities:

Latex balloons are restricted from Roseville Area Schools for the protection of students and staff who have latex allergies. They contain large amounts of latex residue and, therefore, carry the most danger for allergic reactions. 

Latex products of all kinds have been removed from health offices. 

The district will make every effort to order latex-free products (natural rubber products). In areas such as science classrooms, latex equipment may still be in use because latex-free alternatives are unavailable. If a student has a known latex allergy, latex will not be used in that classroom.

We continue to develop awareness of other latex products that are being used in our schools. We either replace them with latex free alternatives, or if replacements are not available, we focus on reducing the use of these products.

Healthy kids learn better. In order to align with federal mandates that aim to provide the best learning environment possible and support student achievement, the school district changed its wellness policy in 2017-2018 school year.

In addition to updates to physical activity, school nutrition and other district wellness, there were changes to classroom birthday celebrations. As of the 2017-2018 school year, birthday celebrations will not include food or drink. Parents/families are asked to not send birthday treats with their student to school. The new guidelines help students avoid unhealthy snacks while still providing plenty of room for tradition and fun.

If there is a non-birthday classroom event that calls for families to provide snacks, families are asked to only send nutritious snacks. Information about healthy snacks can be found on the district’s Nutrition Services webpage.

Often times a parent/guardian will call the school during the day to talk with their child unless it is an emergency, we ask that parent/guardian leave a message with the office staff. The office staff will pass along the message to your child.

It is extremely important that we have all student records updated. Please be sure to report all changes to the school office at 651-487-4360.

Parkview seeks to create a fun educational environment for all learners. Throughout the school-year students and staff come together to demonstrate a sense of pride and strong community well-being at our Jaguar Pride assemblies. Grade level teams also celebrate learning at the end of each trimester.

In alignment with Roseville Area Schools’ Equity Vision, Parkview staff members strive to provide an inclusive learning community for all families regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, ability, home or first language, religion, national origin, age, or physical appearance. To this effect, school-wide and classroom celebrations are not directly linked to calendar holidays.

Just as outdoor temperatures can vary greatly throughout the day, so can the temperature from one area of our building to the next. It is a good idea to send children to school wearing layered clothing that can be removed or added as needed. We want to promote a healthy, respectful lifestyle so clothing that advertises alcohol or tobacco products, or has a message that is disrespectful of others is not considered school wear. Short shorts/skirts, bare midriffs, halter-tops, and skinny tank tops should be saved for other occasions.

We ask students to wear the following clothing items during the winter months: warm jacket or snowsuit, hat, boots and mittens. Snow pants are recommended for students who like to play in the snow. Students without boots must remain on areas with blacktop. Families who need financial help with winter clothing should call Abby Musegades at 651-487-4360 for confidential assistance.

Students in grades 3-8 will be given an organizational planner at the beginning of the year. If the planner is lost or damaged students may be charged for a replacement.

Roseville Area Schools collects, maintains, and releases information about pupils and their families only for legitimate educational purposes including instruction, guidance and research as provided in federal law and state statutes. Please refer to the district website, isd623.org, for more information.

In the event of severe weather or mechanical breakdown, the starting time of Parkview may be delayed or the entire school system may be closed. Official announcements will be made over local television and radio stations between 6 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. If no report is heard, school will be in session.

Please talk with your child about where to go and what to do if school closes early and you cannot be reached.

The school bears no responsibility if personal electronic devices are lost or stolen. To better enhance student learning and limit distractions, all personal electronic devices will need to be locked in student lockers from 7:35 a.m. – 2 p.m. This includes time spent in the hallway and during lunch/recess. If you need to contact your student, you may call the main office at 651-487-4360 (prompt #7). If a personal electronic device is out during the school day, school staff may confiscate the device and it may be picked up by the student at the end of the day. We appreciate your support and partnership with this policy!

Friendship Connection provides year round school age childcare. For more information, call 651-487-4391.

Students in grades 6-8 at Parkview are a part of the Roseville Area Schools 1:1 iPad Program and are issued an iPad for use during the school year.  For information on the 1:1 iPad program, student expectations and iPad insurance, please visit: www.isd623.org/services/technology/11-ipad-program

Every student is assigned a locker by their teacher/advisor for the storage of school supplies and clothing. Since lockers are a permanent part of the building, students are expected to keep them in good, usable condition.  It is strongly encouraged that students do not leave money or other valuables in their locker.

The students in grades 6-8 may use locks for the lockers. The locker combination must be on record with the student’s teacher/advisor. Students should not give their locker combination to others. Occasional locker inspections/clean outs will be held.

Lost and found articles are kept in the “Lost and Found” area, which is located in the café. Several times during the school year unclaimed items are donated to a local charity. To guard against lost articles, please use a marker to label items with your child’s first and last names. Call Centerline Charter at 651-482-1794 for items lost on the school bus.

Invitations to parties and other activities should be mailed from the family home.  We ask that invitations not be handed out at school. Transportation to parties or events should be made independent of the school busing.

Students use the playground only under the supervision of adult staff members. Safety rules are reviewed with the students the first week of school and periodically throughout the year as needed. Our students do not have equipment such as, helmets and padding that is required for physical contact sports. To protect their safety, tackling, wrestling, pushing, tripping, hitting, kicking, and other body contact activities are not permitted. The throwing of snowballs, sports equipment, and other objects at another person is also prohibited. Being a good sport is expected at all times. This includes fairness, honesty, sincerety and honor.

Parkview students participate in recess every day. A doctor’s note is required if a student is requesting to stay in from the recess or not participate fully in physical education classes. The doctor’s note should indicate when the student should return to full activities. Please provide the note to the student’s teacher and the health office.

Cold Weather

Please prepare your child to go outside for recess everyday.  It is important for students to be outside and active, although some days because of inclement weather (rainy, muddy or too cold) students will stay inside. In winter, we use the National Weather Service recommendations for wind chill to determine if students should go outside for recess. Generally when the temperature at recess time is below 0° Fahrenheit or the wind chill is -17° Fahrenheit, students will remain indoors.

Parkview recycles! Our program focuses on sorting recyclables into two groups: cans and bottles and paper products.  Everyone is encouraged to use our recycling centers consisting of green barrels for bottles and cans, blue barrels for paper products, and gray barrels for trash. Look for the signs located next to the recycling centers for correct disposal. 

Parkview also participates in a food to hogs program. Students sort their food waste and trash into marked barrels in the cafeteria. This is yet another way that we provide environmental stewardship in our community. We also participate in the Drink Pouch Brigade program, which is managed by a parent volunteer. Drink pouches are collected in special collection bins and submitted for recycling/repurposing through this program.

Special Education Resource Programs

These programs are available at Parkview Center for students with various special education requirements. They include special classes for children who are gifted, who have a learning disability, and a child with an emotional disability. State law provides definite guidelines for the administration of these programs, as well as specific eligibility guidelines, which a student must meet prior to admission. The Parkview Center School philosophy supports the integration of special education students into the mainstream environment whenever possible.

Section 504

Roseville Area Schools supports the aims of Section 504 of the Human Rights Act and is committed to providing accommodations for students in our schools.

Who Qualifies for Section 504?
A person is “disabled” within the meaning of Section 504 if he/she has a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities.

Substantially Limits 
An impairment is only a “disability” under Section 504 if it substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as learning. An individual must be unable to perform, or be significantly limited in the ability to perform, an activity, compared to an average person in the general population.

Education is Considered a Major Life Activity
Major life activities include functions such as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working. When a condition significantly limits a major life activity, an accommodation plan must be developed for that individual. Accommodations or services must be determined by a team knowledgeable about the individual and his/her disability.

Parent/guardians or students may request accommodations under the protections of this law by contacting the building principal or program supervisor.

Classroom teachers will issue all the textbooks and curriculum related instructional materials that students need. Students are responsible for these books and materials until they are returned. Students may have to pay a fine if a textbook or instructional material item is damaged or lost. At the time of issue, students should report any existing damage to the teacher.  Questions on the condition of textbooks and curriculum related instructional materials should be directed to the teacher. 

Parkview is concerned for the health and safety of all students. In alignment with this concern we will no longer distribute treats (birthday etc.) in the classroom. If you are interested in honoring your child’s birthday in a different manner please contact your child’s classroom teacher.

All visitors to a school will register with the administrative office upon arrival and departure.

Visitors to schools will receive and must wear a highly visible visitor badge to signify their status and the fact that school administration has authorized their presence in the building.

Visitors who wish to meet with or observe teachers should schedule appointments with administration and teacher in advance and register with the administrative office upon arrival.

Visitors will drop off and pick up students in the main office.

The school board, the superintendent and the building administrators of the district reserve the power to decline to give permission for or to withdraw permission for parent/guardian, citizens, alumni, or other members of the public to visit the schools and district facilities. This action is deemed necessary to ensure the physical or emotional safety of the students and staff of the district or to prevent disruption of the district’s educational programs.

Please call the attendance line or email every day your student is absent.

A student who is not in their classroom at the start of a class period/school day will be marked tardy. 7th-8th grade tardies are recorded every period.

Any absence to class for more than 10 minutes which has not been excused by the appropriate school official and 10 or more tardies to class is considered in-school truant.

Students will not be released to anyone other than their parent/guardian unless the office is notified in writing or by phone in the main office. Anyone picking up a child is required to come to the office and sign the child out. With this in mind, our procedures are as follows: 

• If your child will be leaving school during the day, we ask that you send a note with your child to your child’s teacher, stop in the office to sign your child out, and have your child called down to meet you.
• If you are picking up a student up before the end of the school day you will need to wait for them in the office.
• If you are picking up students at dismissal we request that you pick them up at the parent/guardian pickup location on Grotto Street, the PCS parking lot circle, or meet them at the bus board if they are unaware of the pick up or outside the main office area. We ask that you not go to the classrooms at dismissal. Please do not enter the bus circle during pick up times. If you are planning on entering the building you must meet your child at the main office.
• If your child is to walk home at the end of each day, we ask that you send a note to your child’s teacher.

People who sign children out and are unknown by staff will be asked to show picture identification.

Children should not arrive before 7:15 a.m., unless participating in a co-curricular activity.

School starts at 7:35 a.m. Children need to be in classrooms at 7:35 a.m.

Students should not be at school after 2:15 p.m., unless in Friendship Connection, with a teacher or in an extracurricular activity.

We open the building to students beginning at 7:15 a.m. at which time students are welcome to wait in the main hallways or café until they are dismissed to their classrooms.

Students should be dropped off on Grotto Street or in the student drop-off circle (lower parking lot). 

Please remember:

• Pull forward as far as possible – stop, drop, and go
• Drop off children on the sidewalk side only
• Please do not enter the bus lane during drop-off times
• NO PARKING in the drop-off zone
• Be kind and respectful to staff who are there for safety

If a child will take a bus home other than the assigned bus the parent/guardian should:

• Send a note from home explaining the bus change
• Instruct the child to give the note to the teacher
• The teacher will send the note to the office to be verified by school personnel
• Instruct the child to pick the note up in the office on the way to the bus
• Instruct the child to show the approved note to the driver of the bus

Parent pickup will be in the student drop-off/pickup circle (lower parking lot – not ECFE) or on Grotto Street.

Students should arrive at their stop no less than five minutes before the scheduled arrival of the bus. Students need to wait at the bus stop in a safe, courteous manner. Safety means staying out of the street and not playing games near traffic. Courtesy means being respectful of private property near the bus stop. Parent/guardians are responsible for their child’s behavior and safety to and from the bus stop, prior to entering and immediately after exiting the bus.

Bus transportation is a privilege extended by the board of education; it is not a right. All students are required to obey bus conduct rules, which are in place to protect the safety and well-being of all students. Failure to observe these rules may result in the loss of bus privileges.

If your child will be riding a different bus home from school, please send him/her with a note giving them permission to do so.

Roseville Area Schools School Safety Home Training Lesson – Minnesota State law requires that school bus safety be taught in schools during the first weeks of school. The law also suggests that young students receive school bus safety training before they come to school the first day. As a parent/guardian, you are your child’s most influential teacher. We ask that you teach your child about school bus safety. The information below will help you explain to your child how to be safe on and around the bus. Spend some time with your child on these points. Explain the reasons why they are important, and go over them again three or four times on different days so that your child will have a safer bus ride when school starts.

Be ready for the bus at the scheduled time.

Wait until bus is stopped before moving toward the bus and getting on.

After getting on the bus, go to a seat, sit down and stay seated. Law requires that students be seated while the bus is moving.

Remain quiet on the bus, so you don’t distract the driver. While the bus is moving, kids often talk, and that is OK unless it gets too loud. When the bus is loud the driver can’t hear important things like sirens or train whistles, or can be distracted by having to pay attention to the kids and miss something important like a stoplight, or a car coming from another direction.

Do what the driver tells you to do. The driver is in charge of the bus.

Make sure that you get on the right bus – know your bus number.

Be ready to get off the bus when it get near your stop, don’t get out of your seat until the bus is stopped.

After getting off of the bus, move away from the bus. If you have to cross the street wait until the driver has placed the stop sign in position.

An impairment is only a “disability” under Section 504 if it substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as learning. An individual must be unable to perform, or be significantly limited in the ability to perform, an activity, compared to an average person in the general population.

Communication from school will be available in a variety of ways throughout the school year. Most of our communication is sent electronically in an effort to be environmentally mindful and reduce printing costs. Paper fliers will also be available for most events/activities in the magazine rack located outside of the main office. Pertinent information can be found on the Parkview website and will be sent through our PCS Weekly News email, which goes out every Thursday afternoon when school is in session. 

Parent/guardians should check with their child for other communications sent home from school.

Each school in Roseville Area Schools has a health office staffed by a health assistant under the supervision of the licensed school nurse. The school health office functions to support students who become ill or injured during the school day, administer medications to students who require it, and provide assistance to students who need support with the management of chronic health conditions at school.

You are encouraged to contact the licensed school nurse if your student has a chronic health condition requiring management during the school day, or if you have a question regarding your student’s health.

If your student becomes ill or seriously injured at school and it is necessary for them to go home, you or your designated emergency contact person will be contacted by the Health Office to pick up your student. Students who are 18 or older may sign themselves out at the discretion of school staff.

Please notify the school office immediately each time your phone numbers or emergency contact names/numbers change, or update them in ParentVue (CLICK HERE). We depend on you for this information and we need to be able to reach you quickly in case your student is ill or injured. If we cannot reach you or your emergency contacts, we may call 911 or contact the police. Students are not allowed to call parents from a classroom to request permission to go home. 

Not every health office visit will be reported home. You are encouraged to call your school health office with any questions.

The following will help you decide whether your child is too sick and should stay home from school.

• If your child has a fever of 100 degrees or more, they should stay home for 24 hours after the temperature returns to normal and remains normal without fever-reducing medication.
• If your child has vomited or has diarrhea, they should stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
• If your child had any rash that may be disease-related or the cause is unknown, check with your healthcare provider before sending them back to school.

If your child is ill, please call the school to report the absence each day of the illness. If you have questions regarding your child's illness, please call your school nurse or healthcare provider.

For students with health conditions that require medication during the school day, parents/guardian-provided medication is administered by the licensed school nurse, or by the health assistant or other staff under the direction and supervision of the licensed school nurse. There is no school supply of medication.

For the protection of students, families, and school personnel:

• A new medication permission form is required each and every school year.
• All medications needed during the school day are stored in the health office. Medications required in other programs or outside the normal school day hours are stored in a secure location in that program’s area.
• If there are concerns about any student medication, the licensed school nurse may contact the health care provider and/or request a healthcare provider’s order for an over-the-counter medication.
• Medications prescribed for more than two (2) weeks and which must be taken at school must have the “Dispensation of Medication” form signed by the prescribing provider and the parent/guardian. For over the counter medications, a parent’s signature only is required.
• Medication prescribed for less than two (2) weeks requires written permission from the parent/guardian only.
• All medications must be in original containers labeled with all of the following: student’s full name, medication name, dose, and times of day to take medication.
• Students are not allowed to self-administer medication without approval from the licensed school nurse, parent/guardian approval, and health care provider signature (for prescription medication).
• At the end of the school year medications will be sent home with students unless otherwise indicated. Return of controlled medications (e.g. ADHD medications) will be coordinated with families. 

Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact the licensed school nurse at the child’s school to discuss any concerns or special needs, or to request assistance in obtaining required authorization from their healthcare provider.

Prescription and over-the-counter medications will be stored in a locked cabinet in the Health Office. Emergency medications (e.g., asthma inhalers, seizure medications, epinephrine pens) will be stored in an unlocked cabinet for easy access in the event of an emergency.

Roseville Area Schools are allergy aware and strive to provide a safe school environment for students with life threatening allergies. Please provide an anaphylaxis action plan each school year, or every 12 months. To plan accommodations specific to your student, please contact the Licensed School Nurse.

Minnesota law requires students to be immunized against certain diseases or have a signed, legal medical or conscientious exemption kept in the student health record. These requirements apply to all students whether they attend public schools, private schools, or home schools. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the school health office in order for the student to enroll or remain enrolled. If a parent or guardian objects to immunizations for either medical or personal reasons, a notarized statement is needed on the Student Immunization form. The notarized statement specifies the immunization(s) the child will not be receiving. Download the form here, or contact the health office for information about obtaining a medical or conscientious exemption.

Licensed school nurses conduct vision and hearing screening at school in alignment with the recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Teachers may identify a student who appears to struggle to see and then can request that the student is screened. Parent/guardians may also contact their licensed school nurse and request screening for their child.

Schoolwide screening provided in select grades, as recommended by MDH, are a way to identify students who may need glasses. Students may also be screened as part of a school special education evaluation. Often individuals are not aware that they are struggling to see details at a distance, so screening is helpful to identify those who should follow up with their healthcare provider.

Health screenings that licensed school nurses can provide at school include: 

• Distance vision acuity
• Close vision acuity
• Spot Vision Screener that can identify several different vision conditions
• Eye muscle balance for lazy eye (amblyopia) (for preschool to grade 1)
• Color vision deficiency 
• Hearing

When a student’s ability to attend school is interrupted by major illness or injury, they may become eligible for homebound instruction when the length of absence is anticipated to be fifteen or more school days. The application for homebound instruction is made through the school nurse. Allotted time is one hour per day for each day missed. When students have an extended illness that does not qualify for homebound instruction, they may request homework from teachers through the nurse or student support services.

Breakfast and lunch are served daily; breakfast will start the first day of school. Menus and nutritional information are available on line. Parent/guardians may access the information by logging onto the district's Nutrition Services webpages. 

Meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. All meals, foods, and beverages are prepared and served by qualified child nutrition professionals. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students. 

Please call the office to order lunch with your child or feel free to bring your own lunch. We ask that you do not accompany your student to recess. No pizzas please. The Federal and State subsidies only apply to students enrolled in school; all visitors and staff, including preschool children will be assessed a fee for lunch.

Parkview takes precautions to ensure the safety of students and staff. All entrances remain locked throughout the day and individuals must enter the building through the main entrance. Our security buzzer is on from 7:35 a.m. – 1:50 p.m. All visitors must sign in at the front office and wear a visitor badge while in the building during school hours. Visitors must sign out in the front office during school hours before leaving.

Roseville Area Schools is working to prepare students and staff for emergencies. As we all are aware, there are many different situations involving safety, health, or security, which may occur in our schools. Our goal is to prepare our staff and students to properly react to the various types of problems, which might occur. You may hear of our preparations during the school year as your child brings home information or comments on some of the discussions held at school related to these issues. Our emergency response effort includes a variety of situations, including bus accidents, illness or injuries, hazardous accidents, weather emergencies, utility emergencies, assault or intruders, bomb threats, evacuation plans and missing children. We are required by the State of Minnesota to practice five fire drills and five lockdowns and one severe warning drill per school year. We ask that you provide medical emergency information for the students information file. This along with emergency numbers are very important in case of an emergency involving your child. Each building has an ER Team (Emergency Response Team).

All students have the right to a quality education at Parkview Center School. Students are responsible for the manner in which their individual rights are exercised and must accept the consequences of any actions that violate the rights of others. All PCS students are expected to practice responsibility for personal behavior and learning, and to contribute to the positive learning experiences of others.

• Each student has the right to attend school and receive a free appropriate public education as provided by law.
• Each student is responsible for protecting everyone’s right to learn. This means classes will carry on without interruptions, disruptions, or distractions. Behavior that disrupts normal classroom functioning is an infringement on the rights of others.
• A student who had been absent from school has the right to make up work missed during any excused absence.
• When a student is absent from school for an extended period of time because of illness, the parent/guardian may request a homebound teacher.
• A student may apply for enrollment in special programs offered by Roseville Area Schools.

Parkview Center School students represent a wide range and diversity of opinion and background. Students have the right to express opinions, to take stands, and to support causes, either publicly or privately, provided such expressions are not libelous or obscene according to current legal definition and do not interfere with the rights of others or disrupt the atmosphere for learning in our school.

Students have the right to be informed of all policies, rules, and regulations they are expected to follow. PCS staff, students, and parent/guardian have the responsibility to teach and model expectations and procedures so all PCS students will be successful.

Students will have the right to choose an appropriate manner of dress and personal grooming, although students will be directed to change clothing if it presents clear danger to the student’s health or safety, or disrupts the educational process. 

Students will be directed to change attire including but not limited to the following:

• Clothing/jewelry that advertises illegal substances for minors or that has explicit pictures, words or symbols, profanity and/or ethnic/racial comments.
• Skirts/dresses/shorts that are so short that undergarments or private body parts are exposed.
• Tube tops or shirts with revealing necklines or that expose undergarments.
• Low riding pants that expose the waistline or undergarments.
• Clothing that expose bare midriffs.
• Clothing that may otherwise be inappropriately revealing.

Students’ rights to privacy regarding school records will be protected and any disclosure of information from student permanent records shall be consistent with legal requirements. Before records other than directory information are sent to any person, agency or institution, written consent is required from the parent/guardian. Any parent/guardian wishing to withhold directory information must contact the PCS office by October 1 of the school year.

For some of our Roseville Area Schools families, privacy is an extremely important safety consideration. When this is so, the school district does not allow use of any pictures of protected children in any form of media. As video technology becomes easier and more popular, all of us in the school community might be in a position to unknowingly place families at risk. Help our families stay safe. If you record a school program, please be sure it does not end up posted on the internet.

Students have a right to personal safety and security of personal property. Students must not bring onto school property or to school sponsored events, any items that may be disruptive or endanger the health and safety of others. When reasonable cause exists to believe that such items are present, general or individual searches may be conducted under the authorization of the principal or designee. Illegal and disruptive items will be removed from student possession.

Students have a right to be in a learning environment that is free from harassment including sexual harassment and violence of any nature. Appropriate adult supervision is provided to ensure the safety of all PCS students. Students are responsible to report any violation of these rights immediately to the teacher or administration
