Traffic congestion around the schools in our cluster is always difficult, so please make plans so you arrive on time. If you are a bus rider, the transportation department suggests you are at your stop at least 15 minutes before your bus is scheduled to arrive. The school is open for students at 6:45. Breakfast is served in the cafeteria at this time.

If you arrive after 7:15 you must go to a tardy station.

Tardy station locations:

A 12.209 Admin. Office (upper floor)

C 10.119 Admin. Office

E 3.102 Clinic

F 15.202 Admin. Office (upper floor)

G 1.225 Admin. Office (Assessment)

H 4.223 Admin. Office (3DE)

If you arrive after 7:25 please check in at the Attendance Office.

Teachers now have individual phone numbers through Microsoft Teams that they can use to communicate with families.

The phone numbers all have a 943 Area Code, which may appear as “Potential Spam” through some of the mobile phone carriers.
We want to make you aware of this in case you receive a call from one of our teachers from a number starting with 943.

Please present a barcode of your Student ID when purchasing breakfast or lunch in the Parkview Café. Please have it ready before you enter the line to check out.

You can use a copy of your Student ID, or you can open the StudentVUE application on your device. For more information about StudentVUE, click here. If you do not have either of these options, please go to the Media Center to print a temporary bar code.

As a reminder, no outside food is allowed except packed lunches from home. That means... NO DELIVERIES ANYWHERE ON CAMPUS FROM PARENTS OR DELIVERY SERVICES.

A student's appearance should not be a distraction/disruption to the learning environment of any other student. Instruction is interrupted when a student has to be seen by an administrator because of inappropriate clothing. The guidelines for student dress are not intended to be punitive, but to promote academic success. The administration may have to address students whose clothing is disruptive to the learning environment.

The following guidelines are to promote a positive learning environment for Parkview Students:

Avoid any attire that includes, but is not limited to, the following

• Attire in which undergarments are visible.
• Attire that exposes the buttocks, midriff area, or with low or revealing necklines.
• No headgear is to be worn inside. (Exceptions are granted by the administration).
• Any attire that depicts, promotes, or advertises gang affiliation, illegal activity, illegal drugs, alcohol or tobacco, sexual references, and offensive words or designs.
• Jewelry or accessories that could be deemed unsafe or injurious to self or others.
• No blankets or pillows.
• No sunglasses.

When students come to school in clothing that is considered inappropriate by the school staff, they will be subject to the following consequences:

• 1st offense: Students will be asked to call home for a change of clothes.
  • Students will be provided the choice of wearing a “suitable cover,” as available, if clothes cannot be brought from home.
  • Headgear/blankets/pillows/ sunglasses will be confiscated.
• 2nd offense: Same as above.
• 3rd offense: Student reports to the grade level administrator and the parents are notified. If the student continues with dress code violations, the parent and administrator will discuss future consequences.

A parking pass is required for all students who plan to park on campus. Please do not park on campus unless you have purchased a parking decal. These passes are non-transferable and must be visible in the driver side front windshield. Students parked on campus without a pass will receive a warning and after multiple violations, are subject to being towed at the vehicle owner's expense.

You can pay for parking now on MyPayments Plus: Go to your student - Events and Activities - then search "parking".

If you don't see it in MyPayments Plus it has been removed because they are sold out.

Welcome to the new school year! In the attendance office we want to make the process of checking your student out as seamless as possible. We can do this by following these simple steps:

• Prior to 7:15 am, the student should provide the Attendance Office with a note from the parent or guardian stating the date, parent contact number, the time requested for the check-out, and the reason.
• The student's absence due to checking out will only be excused if it meets one of the approved reasons(please see the GCPS Handbook).
• The student is then provided with a check-out pass to be shown to the classroom teacher at the time of the check-out. This pass should be brought to the Attendance Office to complete the checkout process.
• If the parent cannot be contacted, the student may not be allowed to check out. A parent or guardian must be contacted to grant permission before a student is allowed to leave campus. Students will only be dismissed to the parent or guardian or the emergency contact listed in the Parent Portal. Students who leave campus without following the check-out procedures will be considered AWOL from school and disciplined accordingly.
• Or a parent must come in and show ID to check-out student.
• For security reasons, we do not permit call-in or email parent check-outs. If a student is sick or has an emergency, the school clinic or attendance office will contact a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Students will only be released to parents/guardians, or emergency contacts that are listed on their account.

If a student arrives between 7:15 and 7:30 they must go to a designated tardy station to check in.

If a student arrives after 7:30 am, the student must check in to school at the attendance office.

To check-in, the student must do the following:

• Provide a written note from a parent/guardian. If no note is provided, the check-in will be considered an unexcused.
• The tardy will be classified as excused or unexcused according to the same guidelines applied to student absences.
• Present the admit note to the teacher upon arrival to class.

The Attendance Office is where you can pick up your ADAP certificate and your Certificate of Enrollment after you order them on MyPaymentsPlus.
