Welcome Park Crest Families!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Park Crest Families for your patience, support, and understanding as education transformed to virtual learning in the Spring. The flexibility our families demonstrated during our school shut down allowed our district and campus to work through the transition. I am very proud of our staff and community in that we were able to support our families emotionally as well as educational needs.
I would also like to take this time to welcome our new Park Crest Panthers! Our staff is anxiously waiting to meet you and your families! As we move towards the first day of school, our staff will be in direct contact with all our families. I encourage you to update your Skyward accounts with email addresses and phone numbers. As we move into remote learning, it is important that our staff has access to correct contact information.
As our staff plans for the 20-21 school year, I would like to take the opportunity to meet with our families, virtually. During our virtual Town Hall Meeting, our parents will see a brief presentation on returning to school. During our time together, questions will be answered regarding the Return to School Handbook that the district released earlier this week. For your convenience, I have attached the 60 page document to this newsletter. Please understand that we will not have all the answers to your questions and may not get to your questions during our time. We will have a staff member to record all questions and a Q&A document will be shared with our families.
Speaking on behalf of the Park Crest Staff, we look forward to working with our families and students; either face-to-face or remotely. I can assure you that whether you choose face to face or virtual learning, all Panthers will receive the best level of instruction, engagement, and support they deserve.
