We have a limited supply of last year’s 2019-2020 Parkview Yearbooks available for purchase! They are $20. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so if you missed out purchasing a yearbook last year, now is your chance! The yearbook is 48-pages – produced and created by PV students. It is a soft-laminated cover that includes portrait pictures and candid photos from events during the school year.

Ordering one is very simple!  Just click on Processing PV Yearbook Fees in TouchBase for instructions.  If your child is a remote learner of has gone on to Southview, you may come to Parkview’s office to pick it up. Just bring your receipt with you.

Find ways to give back this weekend! Parkview students are encouraged to serve others this weekend through a “service bingo” activity. How many different ways can you serve/volunteer this weekend? We want to see/hear about your efforts! Click here to see the activity.
