The 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year is...
Congratulations to Mr. Stephen Westbrook!
He was selected as Parkview's Teacher of the Year!
Thank You to Our Student Drivers
We want to take a moment to recognize the student drivers we have in attendance. Thank you for observing the parking lot rules and watching for your fellow students. We truly appreciate your care as you move through the parking lot. Thank you for watching closely for other students and those directing you through the lot. Thank you for not using your cell phone while driving through the lot. Thank you for paying more attention than a large number of adult drivers. Thank you for being so respectful to each other and the faculty. We genuinely appreciate your efforts to keep our portion of your commute safe.
Sincerely,
The Parking Crew

Parent/Student Communication
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.
Virtual Curriculum Night
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.

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:
- Community Event Parkview Day
- 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.
