Park View Elementary School is located in downtown Portsmouth at 260 Elm Ave. It is nestled in the urban historic area of the Park View Community. A newly constructed school opened in September 2008, with forty state of the art classrooms. Approximately, five hundred seventy students ( K-6 ) attend Park View Elementary. We offer a free universal breakfast and lunch program to all students. PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS The educational programs at Park View Elementary emphasize the stages of development and a respect for the child's overall whole being. It allows children to explore, learn, and grow intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially so that the child can reach their fullest potential and make a meaningful contribution to society. To implement this philosophical goal, Park View Elementary utilizes the Virginia State Standards of Learning (SOLs) and the Portsmouth Public Schools curriculum. We also involve school personnel, teachers, parents, guardians, the community, business partners, and the students in a cooperative spirit operating as an educational team. Park View Elementary's administration and staff strives to meet the needs of diverse learners through the development of fundamental skills, as well as the arts, technology, critical thinking and reasoning skills. We believe in providing a safe, orderly, and well disciplined environment founded on mutual respect. This allows each child to experience the excitement of learning and helps the child to perfect all skills needed for successful learning. This will also allow the child to master skills and fully utilize their abilities to enable them to put their best forward in future learning situations. You are encouraged to visit your child’s classroom during the year in order to observe their growth and development. Due to the structure of the classroom methods, there are certain guidelines that must be followed so as not to disrupt the environment.
