Principal's Update

Dear Parker Families,

It was wonderful seeing so many of our families during parent-teacher conferences last week! We appreciate your partnership in supporting our students' growth, and it was great to connect with you all. Our students also had a fantastic time this week exploring the book fair during LiTe class. Thank you to Ms. McDonnell, our PTO, and all of the parent volunteers who made this year's book fair a huge success

As we enter the month of November, we have a busy and exciting week ahead. Please remember that there is no school for students on Tuesday, November 3rd for Election Day, as our staff will be participating in professional development. Looking at the rest of the schedule, our Site Council will gather on Monday night, and our November PTO meeting will take place on Wednesday. To cap off the week, our fourth graders will take their very first field trip of the school year on Thursday as they head out to explore the Lowell Mills. We look forward to another great week together!

Best,

Mr. Lutinski

Holiday Tree @ Billerica Public Library

Parker Families,

It’s one of our favorite times of the year! The holiday tree! For those of you who don’t know, schools and businesses around town decorate a tree at the library with all sorts of different themes and you can buy raffles to try to win the items on the tree.

Our theme this year is Rainy Day Rescue! Anything fun you can think of to entertain kids and adults on a rainy day. We have made it easy and put together an amazon wish list of items but we have also made a zeffy link for it to donate money because we would like to put some gift cards on it. If you know of any businesses that would fit the theme and would donate please reach out to the PTO @ parkerelementarypto@gmail.com

Below will be the Amazon link and Zeffy link.

Thank you for all of your continued support!
