Parkview Announcements
Leadership Camp

On Friday, August 10th Parkview will hold its 11th Annual Leadership Camp for our incoming 6th graders. Your child can join 150 other Parkview students as we kick off the 2012-2013 school year with this outstanding leadership opportunity. Your child will experience many different things such as meeting many students who will be on the same team, learn and practice leadership skills in large and small group settings, spend time with some Parkview teachers and counselors, get a new Parkview T-shirt, and even enjoy a pizza lunch.  A flyer was mailed home with details.  Click here for a copy of that letter. Please mail the registration form back to us to sign up for the camp.

Honor Science Classes Offered at Parkview

Ankeny Schools will offer a 6th-grade Honors Earth and Space Science course for the 2012-2013 school year as well as a 7th-grade Honors Life Science course.  The honors courses differ from the grade-level courses, as students will:

  • Master the same power standards as typical course, but at a faster pace, and at a greater depth.
  • Have opportunities to design their own investigations several times per year.  Emphasis will be placed on forming connections between different scientific themes. 
  • Engage in more complex scientific reading, writing, and discussion with intellectual peers and science professionals.

Students will receive a letter by April 28th recommending the honors course at their grade level if the student:

  • scored at or above the 98th percentile on the most recent science ITBS/ITED, or 
  • scored at or above the 98th percentile on  the most recent reading comprehension ITBS/ITED, or
  • was identified for STEM AELP.

Students who are interested in honors science courses, but did not meet the above guidelines for recommendation, may submit an application for review.  Please click on this link for the district honors science application.
