The 8th graders will have a trip to the Jeff Aquatic Center on Thursday, May 23rd. The cost of this trip is $15 (includes transportation, admission to JAC, and pizza party after). To be eligible, students must be finished with their Health course.

We are looking for parent volunteers to help supervise students at the aquatic center or to help with the pizza party when students return to school. To learn more about the parent volunteer opportunities, please click here.

Awards Day for students in 7th and 6th grades will be on Friday, May 24th, in the auditorium. Awards Day for these students are held by team, so each team will honored at different times. The times for each team are:

7Red - 9 AM

7 Gray - 10 AM

6 Silver - 12:15PM

6 White - 1:00 PM

6 Red - 1:45 PM

Families choosing to attend Awards Day will need to report to Door #1 (the office) and bring their ID. Please plan on arriving 15-20 minutes before your student's Awards Day presentation to be guaranteed enough time to sign in, ID check, and move to the auditorium. A student may be signed out after the awards ceremony, just please let the classroom teacher and student know this ahead of time so they may bring their belongings with them. There will be staff members by Door #9 (the back of the building) to assist with signing out students. (Because of the changes of the schedule on the last day, we cannot pull students from other teams/grades to attend a different awards ceremony, unless they are being signed out for the day.)

Parkview families need to complete the following form for eligibility and support on lunch, Chromebook, and textbook fees for this year:

This form helps families and secures Title funds for Parkview Middle School.

The 21st Century Scholars program is a wonderful opportunity for eligible students to get four years of free college tuition. All 8th grade students that are enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program are automatically enrolled in the 21st Century program as well. However, I know we have students that are eligible for free/reduced lunch that don’t complete the application process, so I want to make sure everyone is aware of this opportunity. Please go to the link below to see the income eligibility guidelines and the enrollment process. If you feel your student may be eligible, click on ‘Create an Account’ in the green box. Once you have created an account, apply for the program. If you need any help at all, please reach out and I will be happy to assist. Thank you.
