• Students, please only park in your assigned spot. If you do not have a parking pass, please do not park on the Parkview campus. Cars parked illegally will be ticket or towed.
• Parents, please only drop your students off in the designated drop spots in our carpool lines. There are two lines, one on the side of Building A on the Camp Creek side and one on Panther Drive near the stadium. Do not pull into the teacher or student parking lots to drop students.
• Please follow the instructions of all parking attendants and staff as they direct you through campus. We are all working to make this time run as safely and as smooth as possible.
• Please stop at all crosswalks and stop signs on campus. The county has installed speed bumps to help slow vehicles in danger areas.
• Please do not make a left when you are leaving campus during drop off or pick up. This causes traffic to back up both at the school and on Cole Dr. and it creates dangerous situations for buses and other vehicles traveling on Cole Dr.

• On the StudentVue/ParentVue app select the student who's information you would like to see
• Click on "Student information"
• There you will find the address of the assigned bus stop, the bus number for the AM and PM routes, and the estimated time of pickup and arrival

It is a good idea to be at your stop at least 15 minutes early the first few weeks of school while the routes are being adjusted.
