New Principal Appointed to Top Spot at Parkview Elementary

A familiar face will be taking the helm at Rosemount's Parkview Elementary School.

Nicole Frovik has been chosen to replace Principal Pam Haldeman, who is retiring after a 25 years with the district. Frovik was a classroom teacher at Parkview from 1997 to 2004, where she taught kindergarten, fourth and fifth grades. She was the school's media specialist from 2004 until 2012, when she left to become the magnet coordinator and instructional assistant at Glacier Hills Elementary School of Arts and Science.

"I am thrilled about the opportunity to come back to Parkview as principal," Frovik said in a release from the district. "It's a great school, with involved parents, talented and caring staff, and outstanding students. I look forward to working with all of them again in this new role."

Frovik is an alumna of District 196 herself. She graduated from Apple Valley High School, then moved on to Augsburg College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education. She began her teaching career as an intern at Valley Middle School before being hired at Parkview.
