COFFEE FOR THE PURR-FECT TEAM! 🐾☕️💙
Yesterday, Parkview Elementary got a VERY special surprise—and let’s just say our staff was feeling extra caffeinated and appreciated! ☕️
As part of “30 Days of Thanks,” Anette Dixon and our amazing community partners stopped by Parkview to pour a little extra appreciation into the people who pour so much into our students every single day.
☕️ Coffee
🍋 Lemonade
🫖 Chai Tea
✨ And plenty of smiles!
A HUGE Parkview THANK YOU to:

Thank you for thinking of our Parkview staff and for taking the time to show our teachers and staff just how much they are valued. Your generosity didn't just provide a delicious drink—it provided a moment to pause, recharge, and feel appreciated.
At Parkview, we know it takes a community to make a school special, and we are incredibly grateful for community partners who continue to show up for our staff and students.
Today, you reminded our staff that the work they do matters.
From our entire Parkview family…
THANK YOU for helping make PvE PURR-FECT!
What happens when a 5th grader gets the chance to become the teacher? You get excitement, curiosity, a little controlled chaos—and A LOT of science!
This week, fifth-grade student Koda B. stepped into the role of “Guest Science Teacher” for his classmates. He prepared his own lesson, researched information, and came ready to share his learning with his peers. His topic? Chemical reactions! 🧪💥
Koda kicked things off by exploring the reaction between Mentos and soda, then challenged his classmates to think like scientists: What happens if we change the substances? What variables might affect the reaction?
The class experimented with different substances, including vegetable oil and baking soda, collected data, asked questions, made observations, and—most importantly—had fun learning!
And the best part? The students were completely engaged. Koda’s classmates encouraged him, asked questions, shared ideas, and learned from one another. There were even moments when our guest teacher had to bring the class back on topic—making the experience feel like the real deal! 😂
As Ms. Whittle said, “It was great to see his excitement, as well as the other students’ encouragement and engagement, learning from their peers.”
🔬 THIS IS WHAT SCIENCE LOOKS LIKE!
Science isn’t just reading a textbook or memorizing vocabulary. Science is asking questions. Science is experimenting. Science is making predictions, collecting data, being surprised by the results, and trying again.
And sometimes… science means YOU become the teacher! 👩🔬👨🔬
Koda showed us that you don’t have to wait until you’re an adult to be a scientist. You can start right now.
Who will be our next Guest Science Teacher? 🚀🧪
Fifth grade scientists, your classroom is your laboratory. Let’s get curious! 🔬⭐
Friday, September 11
Parkview, let’s come together in red, white, and blue as we remember September 11 and honor the people who showed courage, kindness, and strength during a difficult time in our nation’s history. ❤️🤍💙
Students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white, blue—or any combination of the three!
Together, we remember.
Together, we show kindness.
Together, we stand strong.
🇺🇸 PVE UNITED. 🇺🇸
Leading up to our FIRST HOUSE SORTING of the year, Mrs. Alday’s 4th graders kicked things off with their very first House Competition!
Students put their science skills to the test as they built ramps, made predictions, and explored the connections between speed, energy, and collisions. They weren't just racing—they were thinking like scientists, testing their ideas, and learning from their results!
❤️AMISTAD took the WIN!
💚ISIBINDI came in a CLOSE SECOND—by only 4 inches!
And while the results may have been close, the House Spirit was BIG!
What better way to build excitement for our first House Sorting than with a little friendly competition, teamwork, science, and House pride?!
The Houses are already bringing the heat… and this is just the beginning!
Mrs. Whittle’s 5th Grade Scientists were putting their teamwork skills to the test during a hands-on Saving Fred challenge! 🧪🪱
Their mission? SAVE FRED!
Students had to work together, communicate, problem-solve, think critically, and come up with a plan to rescue Fred from a tricky situation. And let’s just say… saving a gummy worm isn’t as easy as it sounds! 😅
This activity was about so much more than science. Our Panthers were practicing the skills that scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers use every day:
🧠 Think critically
🤝 Work as a team
💬 Communicate ideas
🔎 Problem-solve
💡 Learn from mistakes
We LOVE seeing our Panthers learning by doing, working together, and discovering that sometimes the best solutions come from thinking together!
Way to go, Mrs. Whittle’s 5th Grade Scientists!
Teamwork makes the dream work!

#ClovisSchools #BeLegendary #WildcatNation
We're excited to welcome our students back this week for a legendary new school year!
Important Reminder: Students who do not attend school during the first three days may be withdrawn from enrollment.
If your child will be absent, please notify your child's school office as soon as possible. Letting your school know ensures we understand your student is still planning to attend Clovis Municipal Schools this year.
We can't wait to see our Wildcats back in the classroom!
Returning Student Registration Update
We've received several questions about returning student registration, and we want to reassure our families that your student's enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year is secure.
As part of our transition from Skyward to Synergy, all existing student records were successfully imported into the new system. That means we already have your student's information and their school assignment for the upcoming school year.
Who should complete New Student Registration?
✅ Students enrolling in Clovis Municipal Schools for the very first time
✅ All Pre-K students who have never been entered into the district's student information system.
✅ Kindergarten students who have never been entered into the district's student information system
New Student Registration can be completed through this link: https://nm-clovis-psv.edupoint.com/PXP2_OEN_Login.aspx
If you need assistance accessing your ParentVUE account, please contact academic.services@clovis-schools.org. Be aware that due to a high volume of emails, you may not receive an immediate response.
Important for Kindergarten Families:
If you completed your kindergarten registration in Skyward before we transitioned to Synergy, you do not need to complete the New Student Registration form. Your student's information has already been transferred into Synergy.
What about returning students?
Returning Student Registration (verification) will open soon. This process allows families to review and update contact information, emergency contacts, health information, and other important details before the school year begins.
Although verification has not yet opened, your student is already in our system and assigned for the upcoming school year. We appreciate your patience as we complete the final steps to make Returning Student Registration available.
We'll share another update as soon as verification opens.
