Mrs. Showalter’s class & Mrs. Vargason's class got to know each other by playing “Find A Friend,” where they moved around the room and asked each other questions. Engaging and fun, and the kids were happy to learn a little bit about each other! #parkviewinspire #misdinspire






Students are learning expectations in specials classes!
Here they are doing a scavenger hunt in library, learning how to solve problems in PE by playing rock paper scissors, learning about the music room, & drawing what they did this summer in art! #parkviewinspire #misdinspire

New Teacher Orientation was a success and our new teachers were all ready to go for Day 1! Two days of learning and networking wrapped up with a special thanks to Farmers State Bank (FSB) for providing a delicious lunch from LJ's for our new teachers and their mentors.


Earlier this week, our Teacher Leaders had great learning and collaborating in preparation for the new school year that started today! #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture


New Parkview teacher, Elle Waskow, is ready to start her career at MISD!


Make consistent attendance a priority this school year! 🎒
Research shows that students who attend school daily achieve at higher levels than students who are frequently absent. Chronic absenteeism is linked to lower reading and math scores and a higher risk of dropping out of high school.
If you’re feeling well, you should be in school. Let’s work together to make the most of this school year! #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture
