Parkview Center School (Parkview or PCS) is a public K-8 School located in Roseville, Minnesota. Parkview Center School is the only district-wide, kindergarten through eighth grade school in Roseville Area Schools District 623. Families living in the district, as well as in surrounding communities, choose to enroll their children at Parkview where innovation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/about.html )〕 high achievement〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/eligibility.html )〕 and global education."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sites.google.com/a/apps.isd623.org/parkview-center-school-programs/peace-program )〕 are at the heart of the school. This K-8 public school was established in 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sites.google.com/a/apps.isd623.org/parkview-center-school-programs/home )〕 The building is also home to the school district's Early Childhood Family Education Center, which serves children from birth to five years old.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isd623.org/community/community-ed/birth-age-5/ecfe )〕 Parkview Center School has procedures designed to allow equitable access for enrolling at PCS. An annual enrollment application timeline, followed by a lottery drawing every February, governs access to the School. The district neighborhood elementary schools draw their students from a specific district attendance area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isd623.org/schools/secondary/parkview-center-school/parkview-enrollment )〕 The school's choice program attracts students from throughout the Roseville School District which serves Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, and Shoreview, Minnesota, as well as from St. Paul and neighboring suburbs. ==History== Parkview started in the fall of 1989 when a group of Roseville Area School district educators created an alternative or "choice" elementary school for grades kindergarten through four. Grade five was added a year later, followed by grade six the year after that. Grades 7 and 8 were added in 1994 and 1995, respectively. The school is housed in the former Parkview Middle School built in 1967. Unlike the neighborhood elementary schools and middle school in the district, Parkview offered "flexible, multi-aged groupings of students in each classroom and used a thematic approach to learning that emphasized global education and community involvement."〔 Parkview teachers incorporated whole language with traditional learning approaches. Classrooms were structured along multi-age groupings, pairing first and second grade students, third and fourth, etc. Only Kindergarten and grades seven and eight were not paired.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/19961114054944/http://www.roseville.k12.mn.us/parkview/index.html )〕 Currently the school uses looping in grades 1-4. Students will have the same teacher for 1st and 2nd grade and then a different teacher for both 3rd and 4th grade. Looping helps the student and teacher by fostering long term relationships in academics and social/emotional settings. The school was the only school in the district, until 2012, to offer a K-6 foreign language program, settling on Spanish in 1995. In 2015 the Spanish program for grades K-6 was dropped and an E-STEM program was added. Parent involvement was encouraged at this alternative school. In addition to the traditional parent volunteer roles parents could participate in, such as, classroom volunteer, room parent, field trip chaperone, etc., parents could also be on the AESOP Committee (today's PEACE Program) or Parkview Advisory Committee (today’s Site Council). Parkview continues to be the only school in the district with a parent advisory committee - the PCS Site Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://sites.google.com/a/apps.isd623.org/parkview-center-school-programs/pcs-ptsa-pcs-site-council )〕 Parkview Center School currently enrolls 750 students in grades K-8. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parkview Center School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
