PARENTVUE/PARENTSQUARE

We have three different platforms that help you partner with us to support your student.

ParentVue gives you access to your student's grades, attendance, course history, and more. ParentSquare is a communication platform designed to keep parents and guardians informed.

My Payments Plus (MPP) is the resource used for student meal accounts, registering and paying for student activities, making donations to the school, and more.

All of these tools have web and app versions. Due to the transition from Parent Portal to ParentVue, some parents are having difficulties logging in. Please click here for a help guide to log into ParentVue.

STUDENTSQUARE

We also have platforms to keep your students connected and informed as well! Check and make sure they have StudentVue and StudentSquare downloaded on their devices. Some clubs and grade levels (looking at you, seniors!) will be using ParentSquare to communicate, and if students have the app, they can receive notifications more easily. Click here for help guides to set up the StudentSquare app.

Research shows students benefit from a strong school environment, with engaged teachers and involved parents.

This leads to higher grades, improved test scores and increased attendance. Current PTSA initiatives include:

• Grants to staff for educational initiatives
• Reflections, a national, PTA full range arts competition
• Staff appreciation luncheon
• Support of Parkview’s Care Team

Your purchase of a Parkview PTSA Membership is what supports these and other Parkview initiatives.
