August 2022
The 2022-'23 School Year is Around the Corner!
Dear Carman Families,
I hope you have enjoyed a summer full of joy! Each year I always look forward to welcoming new and returning families to Carman Trails after the summer break.
For those of you that are new to Carman Trails, beginning in August, you will receive our parent newsletter that will typically come out on Sunday evenings and is intended for you to see by Monday morning. Here is a preview of what the newsletter will look like. Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to read the information provided each week. It will help you feel more connected to what is going on in the school and community. In addition, it is recommended that you like Carman Trails Elementary on Facebook and download the Parkway School District app. Feel free to follow Parkway's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram too!
This week's newsletter will give you a few items to become familiar with before the school year starts. Continue to read more below to stay on top of the latest information.
With CT pride,
Allison
Questions about starting the new school year?
Free and Reduced Meal Program
Parkway Schools was pleased to offer free breakfast and lunch to students for the 2021-2022 school year, but the meals will not automatically be free during the 2022-2023 school year.
It is important for families to sign up for the Free and Reduced Meal Program before August 5th so you are in the system for the 2022-2023 school year. This will give enough time to have each application processed without being automatically placed on full paid status. Please see the link below for details on how to apply. The application is available in multiple languages.
Apply online HERE! Please apply today!
If you have any questions, please call Lisa Tindle at 314-415-8245.
