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 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
