PE Notes
Proper shoes for P.E. are needed for safety and to best learn and participate in the skills being taught. Shoes that stay on your child’s feet and cover the whole foot (toes, sides, top, bottom and heel) work the best. You may bring an extra pair to change into on P.E. days if you don’t want your shoes to get dirty or creased.
Community School Information
Park Hall Elementary has also been identified as a community school. A community school is a public school that establishes strategic partnerships between the school and other community resources. These partnerships promote student achievement, positive learning, and seek to promote the well-being of students, families, and the community by providing services. Community schools address the whole child, with a comprehensive focus on academics, social and emotional well-being, and developmental needs.
This year we will be conducting a needs assessment, to identify what our students, families, and community needs. If you would like more information on how to get involved, or would like to receive services please contact:
