Park Hall's Weekly Newsletter December 4, 2023

Important updates for the week of December 4, 2023

Park Hall families,


This week our PTA will be hosting its annual week long Penguin Patch Holiday Gift Shop. Penguin Patch letters and envelopes were sent home on Friday. Families can send in money for students to shop starting on Monday December 4th. Unless otherwise noted, the PTA will allow students to spend any leftover money on themselves, so families should write on the envelope if they would like the leftover money sent home.


Student laptops will no longer be sent home with students. This will help keep our students' laptops safe and not broken. We will be sending laptops home on scheduled virtual days for students to use.


For any families that may need assistance during the holiday season, here are a few resources:

1. Salvation Army https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/
2. Toys for Tots https://www.toysfortots.org
3. United States Postal Service (USPS)- https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/


St. Mary's County Public Schools is seeking your input for next school year's calendar. Please provide your input here.


Please don't forget to fill out the computer acceptable use policy form. Please click here and thank you to all that have filled this out already.
