Dear Parker Elementary School Families,


It has been an incredibly busy and productive week here at Parker! Our 4th-grade students just wrapped up their ELA MCAS testing, and we are so proud of the hard work and concentration they displayed. This coming week, our 3rd-grade students will start their ELA MCAS. We have full confidence in them and know they will do their absolute best and try their hardest, you’ve got this, 3rd grade!


Looking ahead, please join us this Wednesday night at 6:00 pm for our April PTO meeting. We have some wonderful events and activities planned for these final months of the school year, and we truly need your help to make them a success for our students. We’d love to have you there to share your ideas and help us finish the year strong!


Best,

Matt Lutinski

Principal, Parker Elementary School
