Important updates for the week of September 18, 2023
Our first Title I reading night will take place on Monday, October 2nd from 5:00-7:00. Dinner will be a choice of pizza, wings, and a salad or cookie. All families must RSVP here. This will ensure that we have enough food for everyone. There will be a short Title I presentation and Title I budget sharing at dinner time, followed by fun reading activities. We hope you are able to attend as this will be a great evening! The book fair will also be open in the media center during this event.
Spirit Wear is on sale now- Click Here to purchase your Park Hall shirts, hoodies and more! The sale ends October 1st and items will be delivered to the school in mid-October.
Please remember that all pre-k and kindergarten students must have a responsible person at the bus stop to pick them up off the bus. If not, the students will be brought back to school and bus riding privilege's may be revoked. If you need to change how your child is getting home, please let the office and teacher know by 2:30. Parent drop-off begins at 8:30 am. Students cannot be dropped off before that time.
This year, Park Hall is a CEP school. This means that all students receive free lunch and breakfast each day, regardless of income or qualifications. Families no longer need to fill out the Free and Reduced Meal application. This also means that families with children attending Park Hall (a CEP school) may qualify for reduced rates for internet services. Click here to find out more information.
All families are required to fill out the technology "Acceptable Use Policy" (see the link below) for each child attending a SMCPS school. We are also required to have families read and sign the Home/School Compact that was sent home on the first day of school as part of our Title I funding requirements.
Our School Improvement Team is meeting on Thursday 9/21 at 3:00 in the Media Center. All families are welcome and encouraged to participate. This team reviews data, progress and the needs of the school and we need your input. We hope to see you there!
