Park Elementary School - Helping Unique Students Develop

Dear Park Kindergarten & First Grade Families, We hope you and your children enjoy a well-deserved break during Spring Break, March 10th-14th! This is a great time for rest, relaxation, and making special memories with family. School will resume on Monday, March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day—we encourage all students to wear green to celebrate! As we return from break, we begin our final quarter of the school year, working hard to ensure your child is ready for the next grade level. Attendance is more important than ever—if students are not here, they miss valuable instruction and learning opportunities. Thank you for your continued support in your child’s education. Enjoy every moment of Spring Break—we look forward to welcoming everyone back on March 17th!

We are getting excited for the 2025-2026 kindergarten students! If you have a child turning 5 before September 1, 2025 and will be entering kindergarten here is an opportunity for them to come meet the Kindergarten teachers and take a tour of Park Elementary School. Please see the attached flier for more details and call 928-524-6138 to reserve your 1-hour time slot for Friday, May 2nd.

We are thrilled to recognize Melissa John, Park School SPED Teacher, and Dylan Barela, Hulet School PE Teacher, for exemplifying The Roadrunner Way this month! 🏆✨ Thank you both for being outstanding role models for our students and staff.
