Congratulations to Parkview High School's 2023 Reflections 3rd Place in State Area 1 Competition- Beza Markas, 3D Visual Arts 10th Grade.

Artist Statement: This piece shows how someone might feel like they are being trapped in their own house. The piece has scratch marks and a weathered-like feeling to it and also has fake barbed wire which makes this house feel like it isn’t somewhere someone would want to be in.

Three Parkview students received an Honorable Mention in the statewide Laws of Life Essay Contest. Please congratulate Gavin Wilson, Kevin Ly, and Ephratah Genet for receiving this award.

On Thursday, April 13 Parkview once again hosted the Special Olympics Track and Field competition. We had over 150 athletes representing over 10 high schools in GCPS. Thanks to Ms. Ann Marie Reynolds and her team of dedicated staff and volunteers, the event was a huge success. This year, the festivities had to be moved inside because of the threat of rain and the bad air quality, but the volunteers made it all work and the athletes had a great time competing in our Main Gym. Congratulations to everyone who competed.

Thank you for all who participated in Parkview Day and helped make it a fun day with ongoing entertainment, activities, and many vendors. Special thank you to Card My Yard Stone Mountain for decorations, The Hax Band for providing the sound system and support throughout the day, Parkview Performing Arts group for all day activities and entertainment, JROTC, Ms. Maggie and the Custodial Staff, along with PTSA Board members. Parkview Day was definitely a community day where we all came together.

Parent/Guardian verification is mandatory in order to check-in/out. At the beginning of each school year, parents should update health and emergency contact information for their student(s) in the parent portal. Only those emergency contacts listed in the Parent Portal are allowed to check a student out. Therefore, it is important each student has updated emergency and parent contact information in the Parent Portal.

The Attendance Office is where you can pick up your ADAP certificate and your Certificate of Enrollment after you order them on MyPaymentsPlus.

• If you see what you feel is an error in your course requests, you may email the Curriculum Office staff: leigh.wach@gcpsk12.org & luann.poteete@gcpsk12.org

• Registration materials will be reviewed to determine if an error exists. Please understand that some requests for change in placement/level were denied due to students currently not performing in the A range in the current subject area class.

• Student classes may have changed since registration due to class schedule conflicts. Course registration sheets and alternates were used in making these changes.

• As a reminder, students were able to request changes to their schedules during the registration process in February. Students may no longer request changes to courses in their schedules as we built the master schedule of courses based on what students registered for in February.

• The Curriculum office will send an email in May for students to complete a form if they will be taking summer classes.

• As a reminder, school begins at 7:15am. We are aware that traffic is heavy. Please leave home early enough to arrive to school and be in 1st period on time. Thank you for helping us have your student to school on time!

If a student needs to leave school for any reason after arriving to school, the student MUST check-out through the Attendance Office. The Attendance Office is located inside the main building lobby.
