Greetings!
Today marks the official start to the articulation process for our 8th grade students as we begin our Field Trip tours and information sessions at Parkview High School. Be certain to discuss the experience with your child this week. The transition to high school is an exciting but sometimes anxious event. More information will be coming home later this month as students begin making course selections for next school year. Parkview will host their annual rising 9th grade night on Thursday, February 6th beginning at 6pm.
Our basketball teams had a great week last week ending with two exciting overtime games on Saturday versus Snellville MS with the boys winning on a buzzer beater. Both teams are back in action Thursday at Parkview HS versus Shiloh MS. Please continue to come out and support our basketball teams and cheerleading squad this season.

outside food is permitted in the cafeteria or in the lobby for students per our school cafeteria rules. Parents are welcome to come and eat inside the cafeteria with their student but need to plan to purchase a cafeteria lunch or bring a lunch from home and sit with their student at the adult table inside the cafeteria. Our lobby here at Trickum does not accommodate room for students or parents to eat lunch outside the cafeteria, and we need this area available for all guests. Thank you for your understanding!
