Parkway Parent Post
August 2026 - Part 2
Message from Mrs. Commesso
A Great First Week!
Our first week of school was a hit! Students and teachers were excited and eager to begin learning, building relationships, and settling into their new routines. Thank you to our families for your patience, support, and partnership as we kicked off the new school year. We are looking forward to an amazing year of learning, growth, and success at Magnolia Parkway Elementary!
Parent Transportation Change Form
Beginning next week, all transportation changes must be submitted through our Google Form. This will help us receive, organize, and manage requests more efficiently.
Please submit the form for:
- Any change to your student’s permanent mode of transportation, such as changing from car rider to bus rider or from bus rider to car rider.
- Any day your student will go home differently from their usual transportation method.
For example, if your student normally rides the bus Monday through Friday, but will be a car rider on Tuesday and Wednesday, a form must be submitted for both days.
-
Each transportation change will require a new form to be submitted.
MPES Parent & Family Engagement Survey
We value your feedback!
Please take a few minutes to complete the MPES Parent & Family Engagement Survey. Your input will help us better understand the needs of our families and identify ways to strengthen family engagement and support student success.
Orientation Night
We are excited to announce the return of Orientation Night! During this event, teachers will share important information, including grade-level learning expectations, schedules, and parent-teacher communication. To accommodate families with multiple students, we will offer two sessions. We hope to see you there!
August 27th
Session 1- 5:30 pm
Session 2- 6:00pm
Car Rider Information
Car Rider Tags
We will continue using the car rider tags from last year.
Car Rider Line
We have worked hard to improve our procedures for a successful dismissal. However, the car rider line typically takes a little longer on the first few days. We appreciate your patience and the kindness you show our staff during these hot August days! A Valid ID will be required to receive a car rider tag.
