WELCOME TO THE 14-15 School Year!
We are expecting and believing great things this year as we claim #parkviewstrong. This Parkview Strong newsletter will be published bi-weekly (every other Monday) with a Superintendent's Blog by Dr. Mayes on the alternating Mondays. We have so many things to be grateful for and proud of here at PBS, and we want to make sure we celebrate those accomplishments. Please feel free to forward this email, share it on Facebook and encourage your friends to subscribe. If you have information to be included in PARKVIEW STRONG, please email it to school@parkviewbaptist.com

Meet our New Faculty Members!
What a great start to school!
So many people have remarked that this is the smoothest start to school in recent memory. We have 176 new Eagles joining our PBS family this year from PreK-12th grade! We had a great first two weeks visiting with our New Families at our New Parent Breakfasts, and all our families at our Open Houses with an awesome turnout for all our divisions.
