The Parkview Post

Above is the schedule Parkview uses during synchronous eLearning days.The schedule includes 6th grade adjustments for Impacts to ensure alignment with regular class periods and daily schedules.

• Students should log in for each class session through their Google Classrooms at the scheduled times.

• If students have questions or need support, they are encouraged to reach out to their teachers via email.

• Counselors are available through email: Mrs. Spiehs (tspiehs@gccschools.com) and Dr. Page (mpage@gccschools.com)

• Office staff are available to assist via email:

  • Attendance issues: Mjones@gccschools.com

  • Other issues: Aperry@gccschools.com

• Most importantly, please stay safe and warm today! ❄️ We appreciate your flexibility as we continue learning together despite the winter weather.

Please be sure students are charging their Chromebooks nightly and bringing the Chromebook to school each day! If you would like to make your student a day user so their Chromebook is charged each day for them, please reach out to msmigel@gccschools.com

Please note that transportation changes need to be called into the office no later than 2:25pm for that day. We have several students that start dismissing as early as 2:30pm. Calling in after 2:25 means we cannot guarantee your student receives the message.

• Doors open at 7:45am
• Tardy bell rings at 8:00am (students must be in class to be marked present)
• Breakfast served from 7:45-7:55am
• Dismissal begins at 2:45pm with bus riders; car rider and walkers are dismissed after busses leave.

Anyone not in class by 8:00am or leaving prior to 2:30pm will be counted as tardy.

A copy of the 2025-2026 Parkview Student Handbook can be found at pvms.gccschools.com. Here are a few reminders:

• Daily attendance of all students who are enrolled in the Greater Clark County Schools is required in accordance with state law and corporation policy. Students are expected to attend school regularly in order to derive maximum benefits from the instructional program. The responsibility for regular school attendance by a student rests with the student and his/her parent or legal guardian. If a student will be absent, please call 812-288-4844 ext. 21141 or email mjones@gccschools.com. Please note, a student may have 10 absences excused with parent notification. After that, a doctor's note or other documentation will be required.

• If your student will be taking medication during the school day, the medication form must be completed with school nurse. All medication must be brought to the (front/health) office and taken there. All medication, which includes over-the-counter, cough drops, and prescription medications, must have a written physician’s order.

• Students are allowed to bring cell phones to school, but must keep them turned off and put away. Parkview Middle is an “Away for the Day” school. You can find more information on this at https://www.awayfortheday.org/. Students needing to call home during the school day must do so in the main office during lunch or in the classroom with his/her teacher’s permission. Cell phones are never to be used to take photos or videos at school. Students failing to abide by this policy will result in school consequences.

It is almost time for our 8th Grade Washington, D.C. trip!!!!

We'll review final itineraries, room assignments, bus lists, suggested packing list, and answer any questions. If you and your student cannot attend, have your student see Ms. Moman the next day to pick up their trip packet.

If your student is considering trying out for a sport this year, please be sure to have a physical form completed (https://www.ihsaa.org/sites/default/files/documents/PRE-PARTICIPATION%20PHYSICAL%20EVALUATION%20and%20FORM_2023-2024.pdf) and complete Final Forms (https://greaterclark-in.finalforms.com/).

Go to GCCS | Resources For Parents | Greater Clark County Schools, click on transportation

Once on the Transportation page, read the fast facts, and then click on Transportation Request Form to request transportation. ***New this year*** - the transportation form needs to be completed ONLY if your student is new to the district or will have a new stop.

FAST FACTS:

• Students opting to ride the bus can only have ONE pick-up location and ONE drop-off location. They are not allowed to rotate between different stops, unless on a one week on/off plan due to living arrangements.

• NO TEMPORARY BUS PASSES ARE ALLOWED. If a need arises for a child to get dropped off/picked up at any place other than their assigned stop, the parent/guardian needs to make those arrangements.

• Please have your child at the assigned bus stop 5 minutes prior to the scheduled time in the mornings. If a bus is at the stop at the correct time (10 min. window) and the child misses the bus, we will not instruct the bus driver to go back and pick up your child.

• New students or students with an address change: Make sure you have filled out the Transportation Request form as soon as possible so they will be assigned a bus. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9rYRnsYwA0yJ4-0MI0laKma2z41c92qcA1fabnM7nUdnZYw/viewform

Steps to view transportation:

1. Make sure your child is registered in Powerschool at the school level. No students are allowed to ride unless the info in PS is correct.

2. Check (https://myridek12.tylerapp.com/login) or download the My Ride K-12 app (Android & IOS) to see if your child is assigned to a bus.

There are several advantages to downloading the My Ride K-12 app to access bus route info. Not only will it provide you with the bus information but you can live track the school bus your child is assigned to within the app. The transportation department utilizes the app to communicate with parents regarding bus changes/time changes. (When you are setting up the app for the first time, it will ask for the school your child attends. Please type in Greater Clark County Schools.)

There were a large number of device breakages at the end of last school year/beginning of this year. We are working to get all students a Chromebook. If a student is given a loaner device while their Chromebook is being repaired, they will be a day user until receiving their original device.
