End of Year Assembly - Donations needed
As the end of the school year approaches, we're excited to announce our plans for an unforgettable end-of-year assembly. To make this event truly special for our students, a few 5th grade students have chosen to take on organizing raffle baskets filled with exciting prizes that all students will have the opportunity to win. We're reaching out to you to request donations to help make these raffle baskets a reality.
Your contributions will not only enhance the experience for our students but also demonstrate the spirit of community that makes our school so special. Whether it's a small gift or a larger contribution, every donation is greatly appreciated and will go towards creating fantastic raffle baskets that our students will be thrilled to win. We are asking to have donations brought in by April 26th to allow for students to see the baskets and build excitement.
Please refer to our student created flyers below to see what the basket themes are for the grades. If you have any further questions, please reach out to Mrs. Sanders (sandersab@parkhill.12.mo.us) or Mrs. McQueen (mcqueenc@parkhill.k12.mo.us).

Repeated Information for Families
Attendance
Please help your student(s) be successful by arriving to school on time each day. The arrival time for English Landing is 8:50am. Prior to that time, there is no adult supervision for students. Students are tardy if they arrive after 9:10am. Please contact the school office by 9:00am if your child will be absent.
Birthday Treats
Students may bring a birthday treat or favor to school to share with their classmates, as long as they come from our list of treats that contain none of the eight (8) major allergens - milk, wheat, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish and shellfish.
Thank you for understanding that all classroom treats must come from this list, because we do not have the staff capacity to check for allergens that could threaten the health of some students. Please bring birthday treats ahead of time (two hours after the start of school, at the latest).
