child's education.

you must complete the registration form and submit it in
person to the school. Forms will be accepted in the Main
Office during regular school hours, 7:00am to 3:00pm and in

The state of Georgia has purchased the
ability for ALL students in the state of Georgia to take the
College Board’s online SAT Prep course for FREE!!! Here’s
the pertinent information and website.
In the “Students” box click “Register Now.”
The student will then need to enter a student access code
which they can obtain from Ms. Wach’s office (Room 10.119).
For the last three years, students in the 9th
grade have had the opportunity to register during their
guided study class. Our current ninth graders are in the
process of doing this now. If you are a new Parkview
student and have never had the opportunity to register,
please see Mrs. Wach for an access code.
This is a wonderful tool and opportunity. I
hope to see our students using this site to help enhance
their SAT scores.
