Congratulations to Amaya Mulchandani for winning third place for her digital brochure at the HOSA Fall Rally on Friday.

Parkview is proud to celebrate the students who earned an Academic Letter during the 2022/2023 school year. These students will receive a special treat at lunch when they pick up their certificate and award. Honorees will be notified by email to stop by the tables to pick up their treat, certificate, and award on their grade levels assigned day:

• 10th graders will receive their awards on Monday, 10/23
• 11th graders on Tuesday, 10/24
• 12th Graders on Thursday, 10/26.

Academic letters are awarded in the fall of a student's 10th, 11th, and 12th grade year based on the previous year's academic work. Students must have a 90.00 cumulative average (without rounding) each semester to qualify to be recognized the following school year. The first year award is an academic letter, the second year award is an academic pin, and the third year award is an academic medal. For example, a sophomore could be recognized during the fall of their sophomore year based on their academic performance during their freshman year. A list of recipients is below.

Congratulations to all of the students that earned an academic award for their performance in the 2022-2023 school year! Click here for a full list of Academic Honorees.

As temperatures drop and winter approaches, we would like to remind everyone of our dress code policy. To ensure the safety and security of all individuals within the building, no hats, hoods, or headwear are allowed. This helps us to identify each person in the building if necessary. Additionally, blankets or pillows cannot be used during school hours. We ask that you wear an extra layer of clothing or bring a jacket for chilly mornings or classrooms. Remember, hats, hoods, headwear, blankets, and pillows are not allowed inside the building. Thank you for your cooperation.

Don’t forget to remind your teachers to give you your earned behavior points! Getting points is easy; all you have to do is be on time! Your accumulated points for the months of September and October can be redeemed at our next PBIS celebration in November.

On Wednesday, October 25th all 10th grade students and any 9th and 11th grade students that have already registered will take the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). Scores from the PSAT/NMSQT give insights into each student’s academic strengths, along with areas they can work on while still in high school.

This fall the PSAT/NMSQT will be administered in a new digital format that will provide an overall easier testing experience for students. Students will take the PSAT/NMSQT on Wednesday, October 25th using their GCPS issued Chromebook.
