Park Hall's Weekly Newsletter

Our annual Title I Reading Night will be held on Thursday, October 10 from 5:00-7:00 pm. Dinner will be served. This year the main event will be BOOK BINGO. Families will have the opportunity to win some amazing books. The event is free, but will require an RSVP by clicking this link. Please be sure to RSVP by Wednesday September 25.

This Friday is our first Character Tea awards assembly. Each month, Park Hall celebrates one student from each classroom that embodies the character trait of the month. These are big awards for our students and we hope our families can be there to share this special event.

As our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students begin chorus, band and strings classes this week, our specials schedules may be changing. Please be on the lookout for those schedule changes that will be communicated by your child's teacher so that you can prepare your students for PE or media on the correct day of the week.

Are you having trouble getting your child to listen or follow directions? We have an excellent opportunities for families to attend a workshops:

Proper shoes for P.E. are needed for safety and to best learn and participate in the skills being taught. Shoes that stay on your child’s feet and cover the whole foot (toes, sides, top, bottom and heel) work the best. You may bring an extra pair to change into on P.E. days if you don’t want your shoes to get dirty or creased.

Park Hall Elementary has also been identified as a community school. A community school is a public school that establishes strategic partnerships between the school and other community resources. These partnerships promote student achievement, positive learning, and seek to promote the well-being of students, families, and the community by providing services. Community schools address the whole child, with a comprehensive focus on academics, social and emotional well-being, and developmental needs.

This year we will be conducting a needs assessment, to identify what our students, families, and community needs. If you would like more information on how to get involved, or would like to receive services please contact:
