Our goal is to provide workshops, resources, and events that are helpful and beneficial to our families. We will continue to provide you with opportunities to stay informed and engaged.

Hey parents!

I really need your help with something!

Since all of our students have been issued either a chromebook or iPad to have during the school day, they do not need their personal cell phones out for any reason while at Parkwood. This includes instructional time as well as recess and lunch. If they need an electronic device for an assignment while at Parkwood, they have one assigned to them in their classroom that they can use. If you allow your child to bring his or her cell phone to school, please make sure that they know to keep it in their book bag during the school day (If your child’s teacher has a different plan for cell phones during the school day, please make sure your child follows their teacher’s plan). If your student is seen using his or her cell phone during the school day, we will collect the cell phone from the student and contact you to come pick it up from the school.

Thank you so much for your help with this!

Students will be bringing home a folder on Tuesdays:

The folders may contain

• Important documents/information
• school work
• resources
• flyers for events
• newsletters
• important dates
• forms
• handouts
• communications

Please take a moment to read through the enclosed papers and sign/return any if required.

Thank you Parents/Guardians

REMINDER: Put your child's name on their belongings; very helpful in finding the owners of jackets and lunchboxes!

Students will complete assigned work at home.

Families are invited to an evening of building a love for reading.

Join us for activities focused on literacy.

Hotdogs to follow activities!

(Tickets are $1.00 per person, return your order forms to your teacher with money to purchase tickets.)

GRANDPARENTS: Drop in the Media Center between 8am-2:30pm to receive a little gift. (while supplies last)

Grandparents are also invited to visit the bookfair with their grandchild/grandchildren during this time.

Parents, if you would like your child to see the dentist while the mobile van is here, please fill out and return the form that your child brought home.

If a new form is needed, please reach out to your child's teacher.

Students will have the opportunity to see the dentist for routine dental care during school hours.

(Note: Depending on the amount of responses we get back, your child may not see the dentist this month. However, they are still on the appointment schedule)

STUDENTS ARE GIVING BACK! Students will pay $1.00 to wear their favorite hat for the day. All donations will go to support the Jays Hope Foundation.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

It's about more than just a hat.

• Hats 4 HOPE is a symbol of the battle all kids who fight cancer face and its devastating effects.
• It's an awareness campaign for students who do not understand why one of their classmates lost their hair or misses extended periods of school.
• It is uniting the community to provide support for these brave kids fighting for their lives every day.
• It's an opportunity to show them they are not alone.
