Safety Drill Update
Fire Drill, Thurs. Aug. 7th.
Park Street Families,
On Wednesday, August 7th, we successfully conducted our first state-required fire drill of the 25-26 school year. Safety drills are part of our regular safety procedures. These drills are practiced monthly in schools to ensure staff and students are prepared to respond to various events, including building evacuation, lockout, lockdown, and sheltering.
If at any time you have questions regarding our safety drills, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Student Health and Attendance
Keeping illness out of the school is one of the best defenses for all types of sickness. If your son or daughter is ill, please keep them home. This allows your child to recover and prevent others from becoming sick.
If your child stays home for more than 48 hours due to an illness, don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's teacher and or Nurse Nicole. Our school nurse is here for guidance and support.
Return to School Protocol
- Symptoms clear within 24 hours → return to school*
- *Must be fever-free for 24 hours
Thank you for helping keep Park Street a healthy place to learn, grow, and thrive.
