Please congratulate the girls' soccer team for a great season. The girls lost 5-4 in a crazy back and forth game on the road (Thurs. 4/30) against back-to-back state finalist Buford in the 2nd round of the GHSA playoffs. Anna Braziunas scored a hat trick while freshman Jael Coryell added a goal. It's been five years since the girls made it past the first round. Coupled with having 8 freshmen on the team, 6 that started last night, the girls overcame a lot of highs and lows this season.

Girls lacrosse lost a heartbreaker of a playoff game last night ( Wed. 4/29). We had 11 seniors who gave it all. Sophia Berryman led the Panthers with 5 goals, Carl Rutherford with 2, and our trifecta triplets all contributed one goal each- Emory, Ryan, and Sydney Rucker. Candace Elkins displayed a fantastic show of defense, with many turnovers and ground balls. Sara Claire Hall was key to our transitions and added two assists to our game stats. It was a wonderful season of competition and fun.

Our 50th Anniversary yearbook is a limited edition keepsake featuring gold foil, embossing, and a premium textured cover.

Yearbooks will be distributed in the cafeteria during all lunches on May 7th and 8th.

Supplies are limited, and we do sell out. Order now to guarantee your copy at Jostens.com

• Only vehicles with a parking decal may park in the numbered spots on campus. You must have a tag or you will be ticketed. Parents and students, please be aware that empty parking spots in the lots does not mean that it is open for anyone to park in. All of our parking spaces have been purchased for the year and assigned to students. We have students who leave campus because of different class schedules, so they may not be parked in the spot 1st period, but they need their spot to be available to them when they return to campus. Students, if someone is parked in your spot, please scan the QR code that is on the signs in the parking lot and report it there.
• Afternoon Carpool is only on one side of campus. Please only use the entrance by Building A. Please help us keep afternoon pickup running smoothly. No cars should be driving up Panther Drive (the stadium side of campus) during dismissal. We are doing our best to get all buses off of campus and on to their next routs as fast as possible and this side of campus is strictly for our special education bus traffic and where we are directing students out of the student lot.
• Visitors to campus: Please park in the visitors parking spots located in the second lot on the left when you are on Panther Drive or in the Visitor Spaces in front of Building A. If you park in a numbered spot, please inform us when you check in. ALL VISITORS MUST CHECK IN AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE BEFORE ENTERING THE SCHOOL.

Are you interested in Summer learning programs? Whether you need to get ahead or you have fallen a bit behind - Click Here to find out what options are available to Parkview students. As more programs become available we will update the information, so stay tuned!

Schedule Verification will run from Wednesday, April 29th through Wednesday, May 6th.

• After looking at your course requests, please use the link or the QR code below to complete the form about your schedule. There is a place to submit if you feel there is an error in your course requests. Paper registration sheets will be referenced to determine if an error exists.

• Please understand that some requests for a change in placement/level were denied due to students currently not performing in the A range in the current subject area class. Student classes could have changed since registration due to conflicts and what courses would work with all other courses in a student's schedule. Course registration sheets and alternates were used in making these changes.

• As a reminder, students were able to request changes to their schedules during the registration process in February. Students may no longer request changes to courses in their schedule as we built the master schedule of courses based on what students registered to take in February.

• If a student plans to take a course over the summer that is currently in the student’s course requests, please complete the questions in the form about Summer School so that the Curriculum Office will know what course you desire after we have received final grades from summer classes. Changes will only be made based on space availability once we have received documentation of successful course completion. Many electives such as AP Computer Science A, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, AP Psych, AV Tech & Film, Food/Nutrition/Wellness, Food Science, Food for Life, Music Tech, Guitar, and Work Based Learning are already full.

• We opened up two new electives after registration. If you are interested in taking either Sports Medicine or Stretch & Wellness, you may complete the form to tell us what elective to drop to add one of these electives. We will allow a one-time change to fill these new electives.

• If you have attended a dual enrollment meeting and submitted required paperwork by the deadline, please complete the questions about dual enrollment and courses you may drop from your Parkview schedule based on your college schedule.
