Prospect Park Weekly Update
August 30th, 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you are enjoying the final days of summer. As we eagerly approach the start of the new school year, I wanted to take a moment to express how excited we are to welcome all our students back to school on Tuesday!
We are looking forward to embarking on another successful school year. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff have been working diligently to prepare for a year filled with enriching learning experiences, exciting opportunities, and memorable moments.
We deeply value the partnership we have with you in supporting your child’s education and growth. Together, we can create a nurturing and engaging environment that fosters each student’s success.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas you might have as we start this new journey together.
Please ensure that you are reviewing the weekly SMORE. This is where ALL important upcoming information is housed!
Thank you for your continued support and collaboration. Here’s to a wonderful school year ahead!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Kim Boswell

9th Ave Announcement:
Attention Parents and Guardians,
It is extremely important that you drop your children off at their doors. Please do not drop your children off out front on 9th Ave. If your child is late and you are dropping them off, you may not park or pull into the bus lane during arrival and dismissal times. This causes back up of busses and traffic. You will be asked to move by staff members.
