Park Elementary School - Helping Unique Students Develop

Do you ever wonder what our teachers do on Saturdays? Sometimes our teachers have an opportunity to participate in professional development. Today they were led by Mrs. Tow and Mr. Fosburgh analyzing a reading strategy called “close reading.” #alwayslearning #continuallylearning #onehundredpercentroadrunner

Monday, October 31st Park School will hold its annual Halloween Costume Parade at 1:30. Families are invited to park their cars in the swimming pool parking lot and the Hunt Park parking lot (by the volleyball court and between the softball field and dog park) to enjoy the parade. Students will come to school dressed in their Halloween costumes; however, NO masks, face paint or weapons allowed. Students will walk from the school around the softball field and back to the school again to show off their costumes. After the parade students will enjoy their class party! See attached flier!

Please join us during Red Ribbon Week in "Celebrating life and living drug free" by dressing up October 24-28 at Park and Hulet Elementary. See attached flier for dress up days.

Were you able to attend Park's first Academic Parent Teacher Team Parent Night's Out? If not, we really missed you! Here are a few comments from parents about the biggest take away from tonight's meeting: Katy Brown mentioned how she loved that her child is getting exposure to real world inferences through the academics learned at APTT. In regards to math, learning how to group tens then add ones is just amazing. Becky Slade shared that she loved playing different games that helped students count numbers all the way to 120 and that was great to learn. PJ Gabaldon said that she "enjoyed learning the specific skills that transfer to home. I will recognize the games and skills and make deeper connections. APTT is great for parents who want to help their kids grow academically and even socially." McKayla Korkosz said, "It's cool to see how teachers teach and how students learn. Parents are challenged to help their children move further and gain deeper understanding." We hope to see you at our next Night Out on January 19th!

This evening, your students may come home and tell you that we practiced a Lockdown drill. We adopt the Standard Response Protocol at Park Elementary and we regularly train and practice for school emergency situations. For new students, and some returning, this can cause anxiety. Here are a couple of ways to help them through this: 1) Practice makes perfect, 2) We always announce if it's a DRILL, and 3) offer reassurance that being behind a locked door is a proven deterrent in school situations. Thanks for supporting us as we keep our students safe. #100percentRoadrunner

At Park, we believe that all students can learn how to be respectful, responsible, safe and kind. We also believe that all students should be acknowledged when they are caught being responsible, respectful, safe and kind. Last week our students went around the school to learn what it means to follow the school rules in the different locations of the school and on the bus.

We are excited for the first day of school! As a reminder, you will pick up and drop off in the front of the school, please see the map image on our Facebook, website, or App. Please enter the school from North 7th street. Stay in your vehicle and pull all the way up. There will be an adult at 7:40 to let your child out of the car. At dismissal, you may line up outside of the school, stay in your car, and hold the name sign you received. The staff will call the student to the car and open the door. Students will only be released to vehicles in the pickup line, not walk up parents. Please turn right out of the school towards the railroad. As we learn the cars and the students, please be patient as we may take more time then normal. Our typical dismissal lasts 15 minutes from start to finish.
