Remembrance Day Assembly
Wednesday marks a very important day on our nation’s calendar. This is a day when we stop and think about those that have fought for our freedom and continue to honour Canada by serving for our country. We pause and think of the lives lost and the lives that have been changed for those that have returned from war. Parkview Public School will be recognizing Remembrance Day on Wednesday, November with a whole school assembly. Thank you to Mrs. Purdy and our grade 7 and 8 leaders for preparing and presenting this important presentation. In recognition of our Canadian heroes, we ask students to wear red, white and / or black.

Lockdown Drill – November 30
On Monday, November 30, Parkview will be conducting a routine lockdown drill to practice and reinforce our emergency response procedures. It is essential that students strictly follow classroom routines and staff instructions during these exercises so we can ensure everyone’s safety in a real situation. Please take a moment to talk with your child about the seriousness of these practice drills and why listening carefully to teachers is so important. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in keeping our school community safe.
