Panther Weekly

March is Theatre In Our Schools month, a time when we celebrate and raise awareness of the power of #TheatreInOurSchools to develop well-rounded, empathetic, and thoughtful leaders. It a time when thousands of students, educators, and supporters join in grassroots campaigns that highlight how participation in school theatre programs helps students develop critical skills that will benefit them in their future careers regardless of whether they pursue arts after graduation.

In March, Parkview Performing Arts will be performing Harvey by Mary Chase.

All Performances will be at 7:30pm on:

We are preparing for District Assessment Interim season. Students enrolled in the courses below will take a District Assessment Interim (midterm) for 5% of their grade.

District Assessments are developed to align to the Academic, Knowledge, and Skills (AKS) and GCPS instructional calendars in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. These assessments allow students to demonstrate what they know, understand, and are able to do and help teachers determine whether students are performing as expected or need additional support to be successful.

District Assessment Interim Testing Schedule:

• Monday, March 10th: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
• Tuesday, March 11th: World History and U.S. History

The District Assessment Interims will be given online. Student must bring their GCPS issued Chromebook (charged) and a charger.
