Panther Weekly

Congratulations to the varsity boys on their thrilling penalty shootout win against Brookwood on Friday night. It was our most attended game of the season. Regrettably, this victory led to a tie for 3rd place with South Gwinnett and Brookwood. Despite a tiebreaker resulting in us missing the playoffs by just one more goal conceded. The boys ended the season with a record of 8-9-1. Hail Parkview!

Parkview's girls lacrosse team achieved a remarkable victory against Brookwood on April 18th with a score of 11-5. The team showcased a diverse range of goal scorers, with Kaitlyn Oliver and Sophia Berryman both scoring four goals each. Abby Davis and Sydney Rucker stood out for their exceptional ground ball pickups. The team's defense worked cohesively to halt opponent drives, while the attack demonstrated commendable patience.

The Boys Varsity Golf team has secured a spot in the upcoming Sectional Golf tournament on May 6th in Colquitt, Georgia after placing 4th in the 7A Area Golf Tournament on April 15th. Leading the team with impressive scores of 84 each were Ethan Clark and Avery Brown, while Wesley Bellomy and Gregory Hart also played vital roles in achieving the qualifying score.

Congratulations to both the girls and boys' tennis teams for winning their first round of state vs Valdosta HS. Winning for the panthers: Zari Haque, Kushika Pejevera, Michelle Harcourt, Juliana Tao, David Hronek, CJ Jones, Trace Woods, Nico Williams, Xavier Osei.

Our EOC courses are Biology, Algebra: Concepts and Connections, 11th grade American Literature and Composition, and U.S. History.

For more information please visit Georgia DOE – Milestones.

EOCs will be given online. Student must bring their GCPS issued Chromebook (charged) and a charger.

Please remember YOU are responsible for your attendance.

• Attendance is always required, even on testing days.
• If you choose to stay home or come in late/check out, it is considered an unexcused absence, unless you have a county approved excuse.(See the attendance policy here)
• If you plan to check out for any reason on these busy days, please have your student bring a note to the attendance office in the morning, this helps us to limit the classroom interruptions and helps you avoid having to come in to check your student out.
• We can not not call into a room where testing is being conducted, even if your student says they have completed their test. We have timed testing blocks that we must adhere to.

Please remember that a student can not be checked out after 1:30 PM. If you have an appointment please plan accordingly. The best practice for checking out a student is to have the student bring a note to the Attendance Office before school so they can be given a pass to check out. This cuts down on class interruptions and students can swing by the attendance office to complete the check out process and meet you at your car.

The Attendance Office is where you can pick up your ADAP certificate(if you took PE/Health in person at Parkview) and your Certificate of Enrollment after you order them on MyPaymentsPlus.
