*Please Note: I am asking all families that may have experienced a minor or major setback to please fill out the Family Needs Survey above. This survey helps ME know what additional support your family may need to fully participate in community wide events. Your presence is important to us all and this Penguin community wants to makes sure you're always included. *Please note that identifying information remains confidential and is not shared.

Please Note: AAPS is asking all families to fill out the above form. Allocation of resources for students and classrooms are based on the results of this form. The goal is to have 100% of Burns Park families complete this form by Oct.1 so that it can be represented in our count day funding.

For those new to Burns Park,

Popsicles on the Playground is a celebration hosted each year for students to meet their new teachers and classmates. The morning of Tuesday, August 25th you will receive an email making you aware of your child's teacher assignment.

Students (and families) will arrive at 2:30 to gather with new and old classmates and this year's teacher.

If you are new to the building you are invited for a school tour at 3:30. 5th grade students will be the ambassadors who guide you through the halls of Burns Park.

Popsicles are served to all who show up (all family members included).

If you are unable to attend, no problem. We will look forward to seeing your family on the first day of school, Monday August 31, 2026 at 8:43am. Breakfast will be served starting at 8:30.
