Procedures for visitors will apply throughout the entire school year.

All visitors will be required to enter through the office, provide picture identification, and obtain a

visitor sticker/ badge before proceeding to any other part of the building.

This procedure ensures we know who is in the building at all times. Office staff will verify the

visitor is a parent, guardian, or approved contact for the student. Guests are required to

exit the building through the front doors during school hours.

Lunch Guests Scholars are welcome to have visitors eat with

them at lunch. Make sure that all visitors check in with the office before going to the cafeteria. Visitor tables are set up on the far side of the cafeteria by the glass windows that face outside. Due to limited

space in the cafeteria, we ask that you only eat with your scholar. Please DO NOT invite any other

scholars to eat with you.

Thank you for ensuring our scholars are ready for instruction every day. Please remember

scholars need to be in the classroom by 7:55 a.m. If scholars are tardy, please walk your student to

the office to sign them in and receive a tardy pass. To report a late arrival or absence, please contact

Val Jacques at velia.jacques@kellerisd.net or (817) 744-5500 prior to 9:55 am.

Scholars arriving after 9:55 am without a doctor's note will be credited with an absence for the day.

Home Access Center Home Access Center is a Web portal that allows parents/guardians to log

in and view information pertaining to their scholar including, but not limited

to, class schedules, emergency contact information, attendance, and grades. The Home Access Center is provided for the express use of the parents of Keller Independent School

District students to assist in the communication of important educational information. The goal of the Home Access Center is to assist you in effectively

communicating with the teachers, staff, and administration about your student. If you cannot access Home Access Center, please email Marti

Trivett at marti.trivett@kellerisd.net or 817-744-5510. Be sure to add your scholar’s name.

Reaching Out with Character and Kindness is Keller ISD's antibullying campaign. Scholars learn

throughout the year about having good citizenship and character at school and at home. Talk with

your scholar at home about the difference between being unkind and bullying.

Note from the Nurse

Hi Parkview Panthers!

Cold and flu season has started. We can all take

steps to stay healthy this season!

1. Consider getting a flu shot for the whole family.

Scholars who get the flu usually miss about a

week of school. The flu is contagious and can

spread to friends and family members. The flu

shot is recommended by the CDC for everyone

over 6 months of age. Note that getting a flu

shot is not a guarantee that you won’t get the

flu, but it can help protect you.

2. Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water to help

fight colds and flu.

3. Eat Healthy Foods. Give yourself a boost by

eating nutritious foods like fruits and

vegetables to fight illness.

4. Get Plenty of Sleep. Children need at least 8-9

hours of sleep every night to stay healthy.

5. Wipe Down Germy Areas. Sanitize light

switches, door knobs, phones, computers, and

TV remotes to stop the spread of germs. Wash

your hands regularly, especially after coughing

or blowing your nose.

6. Exercise to Boost Immunity. Studies show that

regular exercise can help us fight colds and

illness. Enjoy some fresh air outside in the

cooler fall weather!

7. Remember, if your scholar has been sick, please

be fever and vomit free for 24 hours before

returning to school. We want to spread fun

and not the flu at Parkview!

Nurse Amy

Lunch Balances Please keep up with your scholar’s lunch account balance and send more money when you know

their account is low.

If you have questions about your child's lunch

account, please contact our cafeteria manager,

Penny Bates, at penny.bates@kellerisd.net.

Remember that you can fill out Keller ISD’s free

and reduced lunch form online here.

Two Quarter Treat Tuesdays

On Tuesdays, Mrs. Bates, our cafeteria manager, will be selling

treats in the cafeteria for 50ȼ. These treats may be purchased

with cash only!

Scholars are NOT allowed to use the money in their accounts to purchase these treats. Scholars must

have their 50ȼ with them when they come.

Library News Make sure your child is bringing their library books back to school each week. Feel free to contact our

librarian, Mrs. Raaz, at 817-744-5523 or

shannon.raaz@kellerisd.net if you have questions.
