April 2024 Edition
A message from your Assistant Principal:
As we navigate the final quarter of the school year, we wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and involvement in your child's education. At Citrus Park Elementary, we truly believe that parental involvement is the foundation of a successful educational journey. Research shows that when parents are actively engaged in their child's learning process, students tend to perform better academically, have higher attendance rates, and exhibit more positive attitudes towards school. By working together as a cohesive team, we can create a nurturing environment where every child feels supported, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.
As we move forward, I encourage you to explore the various ways you can participate in your child's educational journey. Whether it's volunteering in the classroom, joining our PTA, or simply staying informed about school events and initiatives, your contribution, no matter how big or small, is truly invaluable. Thank you for your partnership in your child's education!

Testing Season is here!
Parents,
Please make note of the following testing dates. Testing will begin promptly at 8am. Our goal is to test ALL students on their test date. When students test with their peers, they are more receptive and positive than on a makeup day. Please help us achieve our goal!
Multicultural Night, This Thursday!
Come Join the fun!
Jeremiah Ice will be here!
One of our Business Partners will join us on Thursday if you are wanting something cool!
Our Spring Book Fair is here!
Citrus Park Families, our Spring Scholastic Book Fair has begun! Students may shop here at school all week or shop online together. We will also be open for shopping on Thursday evening during our Multicultural family Night!
Cash and ewallet payment is accepted. We encourage you to sign your child up with a Scholastic eWallet which allows them to shop without bringing cash. Even share their ewallet link with family to donate to! Stock up on great books for the summer. Thank you for supporting our school AND your readers.
