Dear Parker Elementary School Families,


As we look forward to our Thanksgiving Break, please remember that we have 2.5 school days next week. We are excited to kick things off on Monday as our First Grade friends head to Legoland for their very first field trip of the year! Tuesday will be Picture Make-up/Retake Day, and we will wrap up our short week on Wednesday with a half-day schedule, with dismissal happening at 11:40 am.


We hope that you all enjoy your well-deserved time off with the people that you care about!


Best,

Matt Lutinski

Principal, Parker Elementary School

Parker Families!


This year I am exploring some projects I have never done before. I am very excited about them, but I do need some help with the supply list.


I am looking for:

  1. Empty tissue boxes
  2. Small broken toys
  3. Flat pieces of cardboard.


Thank you for your help!


Ms. Wallace

This week’s highlight-

In case you missed it - Here is a video that was shared at the beginning of the year that outlines the new ELA curriculum.
