Park Elementary School - Helping Unique Students Develop

Homecoming Week is coming up! We are excited to participate in our first set of dress-up days as a school!

Miss World Arizona Sukie Cheema paid a visit to Park Elementary School, where she once attended as a student. She stopped and posed for a picture with Mr. Fred Jackson, former Park Elementary second grade teacher, who is featured on the mural.

Park Students and Staff would like to thank everyone who purchased books at the book fair. You helped us earn $1,390.32 in Scholastic Dollars. Scholastic Dollars are used to purchase new books for our library.

You may notice your student coming home with some books today! Thanks to HUSD's Johnson O'Malley (JOM) program, each student had $20 to spend in the Scholastic Book Fair. We are grateful for great programs like JOM which help support our students!

Greetings Families! We are excited to see you at individual conferences tonight, 9/5, from 4-7 and 9/7 from 1-4. Remember, 9/7 is a half-day. As part of our Impact Aide funding, we request that all families complete a Parent Survey. You can access it from the Park website or by visiting the link below. https://forms.gle/AGhH5DKfafuan4di8

Get ready to smile! Tomorrow is picture day!

Picture day is coming up on 9/5! We look forward to seeing the smiling faces!

Do your kids ever talk to you about Baby Echo or Mommy Echo? These are puppets we use when teaching Fundations, our foundational phonics program. Echo may say something and the students repeat, or echo, after. This helps reinforce phonemic awareness skills which are critical to students early literacy skills!

With our new ELA curriculum, Wit and Wisdom, our kindergarten students are teachers are going to the NEXT LEVEL! Students have been exploring their five senses and reading about their five senses. Today, students in Mrs. Reid's class completed an assessment where they chose a body part and described what they do with it. Each student the. Said, "With my __, I __." We have raised the bar for our students and they are rising to those expectations!

TRAFFIC NOTICE At dismissal, you may have noticed our new "Right Turn Only Sign." To help with the ease of traffic flow and backup of the pickup lines, you will be asked to turn right onto North 7th Street as you are coming out of our parking lot towards the railroad tracks. This will allow us to monitor the traffic flow more readily to ensure the safety of all our #Roadrunners.
