Dear Parklane Academy Parents,
We wanted to inform you that Dennis Uniforms has suddenly closed, a fact we learned last week from another uniform vendor. We have not been notified directly by Dennis Uniforms. Please note that Parklane was already in the process of securing a new uniform vendor for the next school year. We met with them (Zoghby’s) today to select our uniform items. We are negotiating with this company about servicing us sooner than next school year.
In the meantime, we want to ensure no one makes an unnecessary trip to the Dennis Uniforms store in Jackson, as it is now closed.
Any combination of Dennis uniform and/or Zoghby’s will be acceptable school attire for next year. We will provide further updates soon.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Jack Henderson

NOVEMBER CHARACTER TRAITS
Students are learning about
CITIZENSHIP AND GRATEFULNESS
this month.
We have encouraged them to watch their friends and nominate someone that they feel exhibits these traits. We will be honoring one K3-K5 student, one 1st-3rd grade, and one 4th-6th grade student each month that exhibits these traits well! We can't wait to see how our students go above and beyond to reach these character goals.
November winners will be announced on Thursday, November 21!
October Character Winners!
Brinley Dunaway, K3-K5 winner
McKenzie Lee, 1-3 grade winner
Ben Young, 4-6 grade winner
Christy Fortenberry, October Character Winner
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
This year we are doing things a little bit differently. We are asking all students to bring in supplies to pack shoeboxes together as a class. If your child wants to pack a box at home as a family, they are welcome to grab a box from the office for that as well. Let’s see how many boxes we can pack! Deadline to bring in supplies is Monday, November 18th.
Items you CAN pack!
(all items must be new)
Small toys
Toothbrush
Brush
Flashlight
Washcloth
Small blanket
Coloring book
School supplies
Items you CANNOT pack!
Candy
Soap
Anything liquid
No toys depicting war/soldiers
Toothpaste
Toys that contain liquid (squishy balls)
It costs $10 to ship a box. If you would like to donate towards box delivery, please label the money accordingly and send it in your child’s folder. We will make sure it goes towards shipping.
Local Food Pantry Drive
Please send 1 canned good item to school with your child by November 13th to help support our local food pantry. On Thursday, November 14th, we will deliver to K106 in front of McComb Market. Let's see how high we can build our pyramid of food cans!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Image Maker Photography will be here
Friday, December 6
for pictures with Santa.
Envelopes will come home with children
that Wednesday for anyone interested.
Illness
Please keep your child home if they are vomiting, have diarrhea, are running fever, or have been diagnosed with something contagious.
