Do you offer before/after school care?
PCA does work with the Y to come in after school, if
sufficient families request the service.
What sports programs do you offer?
At this time, we offer intramural basketball. We hope to be offering more athletic activities in the near future - possibly volleyball, wrestling and track, (or perhaps water polo or jousting?)....
Are your teachers licensed to teach in Illinois?
We are working toward being accredited through ACSI (American Christian Schools International). Our goal is to eventually have all of our teachers accredited with ACSI.
Are there ways for parents to get involved at Parkview?
To encourage parental involvement, and because we desperately need your help, starting in the 2008-2009 school year, Parkview will require parents to volunteer the equivalent of four hours per month. The way it works is this: Each family is required to donate 35 hours per school year (20 hours for a single parent family). Hours will be counted when you help with lunchroom supervision, chaperone field trips, serve on a committee, help as a classroom aid, supervise an event, and a number of other opportunities. FLOCK (Parkview's parent group) will track the number of hours each family donates. For those parents who do not fulfill the 35 hours, an additional fee will be added to your school bill at the end of the year, prorated up to $200. We want and need parents to be involved with the school, and we thank you in advance for your efforts and time. Please contact the school for a more complete list of opportunites to volunteer.
What Fine Arts programs do you offer?
Students in all grades will be able to participate in music, art and drama. Band will be offered to students in 5th - 8th grade; the "recorder" will be taught to 4th graders. Students in 6th - 8th grade will have an opportunity to be in the school play. Please see our Fine Arts page for more information.
Is there an 8th grade class trip to Washington, D.C.?
This year our 7th and 8th grade class members will have a special opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. May 12-17, 2009. Details for the trip will be announced after the school year begins.
