Principal's Message

Parkview High School Families,


First semester grades and current third quarter grades are viewable on Home Access Center. Please take time to review all grades with your student.


Counselors will be sending letters home with all students who did not earn expected credit during first semester. Students who failed one or more classes did not earn credit and may be at-risk of not graduating on time. It is critical all parents are informed of your student's graduation status. If you are unsure, please contact our PHS Counseling department.


Additionally, all 11th grade students and early graduates will take the ACT on February, 24, 2026. Please ensure your student is in attendance on ACT day and arrives to school before 8:10 a.m.


Thank you for partnering with us to support all students!



GO VIKINGS!!


Thank you,

 

Mrs. Brown

Principal
