Dear Early Childhood Parents,
2017 couldn't have started off better for Early Childhood. The students and teachers were so happy to see each other. I saw lots of welcome back hugs and even more smiles.
We are back to work in all of our subjects. Keep checking folders and reinforcing skills when needed. Click here for a link to a great little addition game you can play at home. We really appreciate and love our parents.
Do you like to eat bugs??? Well, this week in chapel we will talk about a man that ate them all the time. Feel free to join us because it is going to be fun!
We have field trips and 101 days of school coming soon so be sure and read all of your emails. If there is ever a question please don't hesitate to call or come by. Don't forget to re-register for the 2017-2018 school year. If you have any friends that are interested in PBS be sure and send them our way. Please keep us in your prayers as you are always in ours.
In Christ,
Cathy Wilson, Early Childhood Division Head [email protected]

Dear Elementary Parents,
The start of the new year could not have gone any smoother! The students came back and
seemed to be excited to get started. With the new year and the new semester comes new changes. We
just wanted keep you informed of some changes that have occurred for this semester in the
elementary school.
One of our P.E. teachers, J. Jaye Cole, and our librarian, Rachel Rivers, have moved on to other
opportunities. Both of those positions are being covered at this time as we look for permanent
replacements. Both of these teachers will be missed by our students, but we wish them great blessings
in their new endeavors. Please be in prayer as we continue to find the right replacements for each
position. As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
This week starts our third grading period which includes starting over with tardies. It is very
important that your child be in the classroom before 8:00. The teachers begin with their Bible lessons
as soon as the pledge and prayer are finished and we do not want anyone to miss out on the lessons
that God has for us each day. Please refer to the Student Handbook located on the school website to
read about the Tardy Policy.
Chapel will be back in full swing this week on our regular Thursday time. We meet in the
church sanctuary at 9:00 and would love to see you there worshiping with your child. If you are
available at this time, please join us anytime.
I hope you have stayed warm this weekend and enjoyed some family time! We will see you
tomorrow and have a great evening!
In HIS Grip,
Jeff Lilley, Elementary Division Head [email protected]

Dear Middle School Parents,
As we start the second semester of this school year I liken it the half time of a football game. It
is time to refocus on our goals, assess what is working well and adjust our plans to finish the school
year strong. In the weeks to come math and English teachers will be meeting with each student to
review their beginning of the year and midyear placement scores on multiple assessments including
STAR test, Moby Max (5th and 6th) and ALEKs. They will also go over each students’ strengthens and
areas of weakness on the ERB. After the teachers have conferenced with each student they will send
them home with a form outlining their progress and the plan that the student has come up with to
meet their goal for the end of the 2017 school year. Use this as a time to encourage your student to use
their resources to “get out of the pit” when they are struggling with a concept or skill. With a growth
mindset the focus isn’t on where you start, how quickly you grow but how much you’ve grown.
Our famous failure this week: Michael Jordon
His in the pit moment
o After being cut from his high school basketball team, he went home locked himself in his
room and cried
His Success
o Literally the most famous basketball player of all time.
o Led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships
o Received the Most Valuable Player award 5 times
Blessings,
Joana Dieterich, Middle School Division Head

Dear High School Parents,
This weekend renewed my appreciation once again for our Parkview parents, families, and alumni. I
spent Saturday morning in the freezing cold watching my daughter’s soccer game out at the Burbank fields. It
was amazing to see all of the middle school parents bundled up cheering on their daughters and sons despite
the bitter cold and a stinging wind in our faces. We were all grateful for the sunshine that at least made us feel
like we were a little warmer than we really were.
If I was impressed with that set of parents, my hat goes off to the parents of the varsity girls soccer team
who supported their daughters who played at Parkview that evening just after sundown. The stands looked like
a migration of Eskimos, but the parents were present and loud in their enthusiasm for the girls despite the
temperature dropping into the low 30’s while sitting in those unforgiving aluminum bleachers.
At the same time, the gym was packed on a Saturday night with basketball fans who came out to cheer
on our varsity girls and boys teams and to honor our 1997 State Championship Basketball team led by Coach
Don Green. It was an honor for me to meet many of the players as they re-lived their glory days and were so
proud to be back on our campus. Many of these men now have families of their own, so it was a special
moment for them to see old friends and reminisce about so many special moments they shared.
These unique moments all reminded me of the exceptional culture and bond we share as Parkview
parents and families. I believe our parents are often taken for granted; yet I know the sacrifice you make, not
only monetarily, but through your time and energy as well. Your presence and support make a difference and
make Parkview a strong force to be reckoned with. It is a privilege to partner with you in educating and guiding
your children.
We are grateful for your prayers, your sacrifices, your presence, and your involvement. Not every
school can count on their parents like we can at PBS. Thank you. It means the world to your children, and we
are grateful for you.
For His Glory,
Ben D. Haindel, High School Division Head
