🔤💙 Love Our School Week Spotlight: Fundations at Park and Hulet! 💙🔤
At Park and Hulet Elementary, we’re passionate about helping our youngest learners build a strong foundation in reading and writing — and our Fundations phonics program is a key part of that success! 📚✨
Fundations is a structured literacy program for Pre-K through third grade that provides explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading and spelling skills. Developed by Wilson Language Training, it uses a multisensory approach to teach critical concepts like phonemic awareness, phonics, word structure, spelling, and handwriting.
💡 Key Components of Fundations:
🎧 Phonemic Awareness: Students learn to hear and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words.
🔠 Phonics & Word Study: Explicit instruction on letter-sound relationships, digraphs, blends, syllable types, and reading strategies.
✏️ Spelling: Students learn to segment and spell words using phonics patterns and high-frequency words.
🖋️ Handwriting: Teaches proper letter formation for both manuscript and cursive writing.
📖 Fluency & Comprehension: Builds fluency and introduces comprehension strategies like visualization and retelling.
🧩 How We Implement Fundations:
👩🏫 Tier 1 Instruction: Used daily with the whole class to give every student a strong start in literacy.
👥 Tier 2 Support: Small-group instruction helps reinforce and strengthen skills for students who need extra practice.
🕐 Daily Lessons: Short, engaging sessions combine teacher-led instruction with hands-on, multisensory activities.
📊 Assessment: Teachers use progress checks to monitor growth and ensure every student’s success.
We’re proud to celebrate programs like Fundations during Love Our Schools Week — because when we build a solid foundation in reading, we’re setting our students up for lifelong success! 💙✨

🎶💙 Love Our School Week Spotlight: Music at Park and Hulet! 💙🎶
At Park and Hulet Elementary, we believe in inspiring a love for the arts from an early age — and our music programs do just that! 🎵
Starting in kindergarten, students enjoy music classes twice a week, where they learn rhythm, melody, movement, and the joy of making music together. As they grow, that love for music continues to flourish!
Beginning in second grade through fifth grade, students can take their passion even further by joining our Rockin’ Roadrunners — an after-school program that brings together singing, dancing, acting, and instrumental performance. 🎤🎸💃
This talented group meets once a week in the fall and shares their hard work and talent through performances at community events such as the Navajo County Fair, Festival of Trees, and more! 🌟 In the spring, they shine even brighter by putting on a full musical performance for our schools and community! 🎭
We’re proud to celebrate programs like these during Love Our Schools Week — because music brings joy, confidence, and connection to our students every day! 💛💙

🌟 LOVE OUR SCHOOLS WEEK SPOTLIGHT: PBIS at Park and Hulet! 🌟
One of the many reasons we ❤️ our schools is because of our commitment to PBIS – Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports!
PBIS is an evidence-based, tiered framework that helps improve students’ academic, behavioral, social, and emotional outcomes. Through PBIS, we focus on reinforcing positive behaviors and recognizing students who model The Roadrunner Way — being Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Kind!
💛 Beep Beepers:
When students are caught showing positive behaviors, they can earn a Beep Beeper and are recognized immediately for their great choices!
🏅 Rewards and Recognition:
Beep Beepers go into drawings for multiple recognition opportunities —
✨ During daily announcements (small prizes)
✨ At quarterly honors assemblies (bigger prizes)
✨ And at the end of the year, where students can win grand prizes like bikes, scooters, and more!
🔄 Learning and Growth:
If students need a reminder about expectations, they may receive a Beeper Reset or Office Referral — giving us a chance to reteach and reinforce the desired behaviors.
Through PBIS, we build a school culture where positive behavior is celebrated and students feel seen, supported, and encouraged to shine. 💫

Dear Park and Hulet Families,
On behalf of myself and our incredible staff, I want to thank you for sharing your children with us and for making the first quarter of the school year such a wonderful time of learning, growth, and fun. We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished and the enthusiasm they bring to school each day!
As a reminder, we will be on Fall Break from Monday, October 13th through Friday, October 17th. We hope you’re able to enjoy this time with your families—relaxing, recharging, and making special memories together.
We look forward to seeing everyone’s smiling faces back at school on Monday, October 20th, ready to begin an exciting second quarter filled with even more learning and success!
With gratitude,
Mrs. Nichole Tow

We are excited to share that we will go ahead with our Reading Under the Stars event tonight! However, due to rain in the forecast, we want to let you know that if it is raining, we will move the event indoors to ensure everyone stays dry , comfortable and safe.
This special event is for all Kindergarten through Fifth Grade students and their families, and we hope that you will be able to join us for a fun evening of reading and connection.
We apologize in advance if the weather causes a change in plans — it may not be under the stars this time, but we can still pretend and make it just as magical! Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.
