We are preparing for District Assessment Interim season. Students enrolled in the courses below will take a District Assessment Interim (midterm) for 5% of their grade.

District Assessments are developed to align to the Academic, Knowledge, and Skills (AKS) and GCPS instructional calendars in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. These assessments allow students to demonstrate what they know, understand, and are able to do and help teachers determine whether students are performing as expected or need additional support to be successful.

District Assessment Interim Testing Schedule:

• Biology, Chemistry, and Physics: Monday, March 11th
• World History and U.S. History: Tuesday, March 12th

The District Assessment Interims will be given online. Student must bring their Chromebook (charged) and a charger.

Please be sure to attend school for these testing days.

Click here for information on Assessment dates.

To park on campus you must have already purchased a parking pass, have your vehicle registered with the school, and have your parking sticker visible in your car window. If you don't have a parking pass, you should not be parking on campus, you will be subject to being ticketed or towed.

Unfortunately at this time, there are no parking spots available.

Please remember YOU are responsible for your attendance.

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.

Did You Know?

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.

Are you a senior that needs to apply to college? You are encouraged to sign up to attend our March Madness Apply to College events. The College and Career Center will provide students the opportunity to receive instant decision on the day of Apply to College events.
