Dear Student Drivers,

I hope this message finds you well. We want to remind you of an important policy regarding parking on campus.

We have noticed that some vehicles park without displaying the required parking permit. Please keep in mind that any vehicle parked on campus without a visible parking permit may be subject to having a boot placed on the car.

If your car is booted, you will be charged a $25 fee to remove the boot. This policy ensures that only authorized vehicles use campus parking facilities, and we ask for your cooperation in adhering to these regulations.

Please ensure that your parking permit is displayed at all times when parking on campus.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
Carla H Hamilton
Assistant Principal

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.

On Thursday, September 19th, Parkview teachers will post via ParentSquare a link to a video about the course your student is taking with them this school year. These videos will be sent out on the morning of Thursday, September 19th and parents and guardians may view these at their leisure. Parents and guardians should receive a video link from six teachers and a general video link will be posted about our advisement program. These videos are meant to introduce you to your child's teacher and to gain a glimpse of what your student will be learning in their class this year. We hope you find the videos engaging and informative. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers with any questions that you may have.

On Tuesday, October 29, all 10th and 11th grade students will take the take the PSAT/NMSQT® (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test), an important step along their path to college.

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.
