๐ŸŽ‰ Love Our Schools Week: Celebrating Our AMAZING Students and Staff! ๐ŸŽ‰

As we celebrate Love Our Schools Week, we are beyond proud to share that our number one reason for loving our schools โ€” both Park and Hulet โ€” is because of our incredible students and staff! โค๏ธ

Every day, our students and staff work tirelessly to ensure our schools are places where we are respectful, responsible, safe, and kind. They show growth and progress in their learning, and it shows in everything they do.

We are thrilled to announce that Park and Hulet have officially earned the label of a B School by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) based on our AASA scores for the 2024-2025 school year! ๐ŸŽ‰ This is a huge improvement from our C rating in 2023-2024, and we couldnโ€™t be more proud!

This success didnโ€™t come by accident โ€” our dedicated staff focused on essential standards and worked hard to meet each studentโ€™s individual needs, while our students showed perseverance, hard work, and determination to demonstrate growth and proficiency.

Thank you, staff and students, for being the BEST! ๐Ÿ‘ You are the heart of what makes our schools so special, and you are the reason we LOVE OUR SCHOOLS! ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š Itโ€™s LOVE OUR SCHOOL Week at Park School! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

Weโ€™re excited to shine a spotlight on one of the incredible programs making a difference for our students โ€” the Voyager Passport Reading Intervention Program! ๐Ÿš€

This innovative program supports our Kindergarten and First Grade students through small-group reading interventions, focusing on strengthening Reading Comprehension and Reading Fluency.

With Voyager Passport, our young readers receive the personalized support they need to grow their skills and confidence. Plus โ€” students can continue their learning journey at home, making it a wonderful tool for families to stay involved in their childโ€™s reading success! ๐Ÿ โค๏ธ

At Park School, we believe every child is a reader in the making โ€” and Voyager Passport helps us make that vision a reality! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ“–

๐ŸŒŸ Power of 5 at Park and Hulet! ๐ŸŒŸ

At Park and Hulet Elementary, we believe in supporting every studentโ€™s journey to success โ€” and our Power of 5 program is one of the ways we make that happen!

๐Ÿ’ช What is Power of 5?
Power of 5 is an after-school tutorial program where dedicated teachers work closely with small groups of 5โ€“7 students. This focused time allows us to provide extra support through our districtโ€™s PASS Plan, which stands for:
โœจ Personal
๐Ÿ“š Academic
๐Ÿ’ฌ Social
๐Ÿ† Success

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ The program typically runs from October through April and is by invitation to students who would benefit from additional support in these areas.

Through Power of 5, students build confidence, strengthen academic skills, and grow socially โ€” all while being personally supported by caring educators who believe in their potential. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’– As we celebrate Love Our School Week, weโ€™re proud to highlight Power of 5 โ€” one of the many amazing programs that make Park and Hulet a place where students thrive, grow, and are loved every day!
