A Cool Upgrade at Parkview Elementary

On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, Parkview Elementary had some excitement as new air‑conditioning units were carefully lifted onto the school roof. Thanks to the skilled coordination of the Operations Department, the transfer went off smoothly, and the crane itself became a source of fascination for students who gathered at a safe distance to watch the equipment rise into the sky.

The HVAC upgrade at Parkview is part of a broader District effort to enhance building comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency. South Canoe and Sorrento are next on the list, with similar improvements scheduled in the coming months. These upgrades support the District’s commitment to maintaining safe, welcoming, and sustainable learning spaces—an essential part of SD83’s mission to empower students to become confident, curious, and caring individuals and its vision of preparing learners to thrive in a dynamic and sustainable world.

A big thank you to the Operations Department for their professionalism and for giving Parkview students an unexpected real‑world peek at engineering in action!
