Dear Parker Elementary School Families,
What a busy and exciting week for the Parker School! On Wednesday, we had our first early release day followed by our annual Back to School Night, where it was wonderful to see so many of our Parker families in attendance. The fun continued on Friday as we hosted our annual ice cream social, and today we gathered to march in the Yankee Doodle parade. The Parker School showed up in full force, and we truly enjoyed spending time with all of you this week. We are already looking forward to another great week at the Parker School!
Best,
Matt Lutinski
Principal, Parker Elementary School
Welcome back to the Parker Library! We hope all families enjoyed their summer break. In the library we look forward to working together with volunteers. If you’d like to volunteer on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis, please follow this link https://rb.gy/nojlm2, scan the QR code below and/or contact Donna McDonnell, Parker Librarian via email dmcdonnell@billericak12.com. Volunteers must complete a CORI form and turn it in with a copy of their drivers license before their volunteer start date. Volunteering will begin anytime after the first week of school.
Students who bring cellphones or smartwatches to school are required to keep them powered off and stored in their backpacks at all times. The following language, taken directly from the elementary handbook available on the District and Parker School websites, outlines the official policy: Cellphones, smart watches, or any other electronic communication devices are not permitted to be used during the school day or on the buses. Students who bring cellphones to school must keep them off and in their backpacks. Cellphones that are taken out of backpacks can be confiscated and released only to parents. The school is not responsible for the loss of electronic devices and/or cellphones.
These devices during the school day create unneccasry distractions in the learning environment so we ask for your support with this.
Friendly reminder, Parker families: Please remember there's absolutely no parking on Pages Court and Parker Street. This is a residential area, and we need to be respectful neighbors to the people who live there. We know that parking can be tight, so we encourage all students who are eligible to take the bus to school. This will help free up valuable parking spots for families who aren't able to use the bus.
The online school store is now open, so now's your chance to grab your official Parker gear! We have everything from hoodies to t-shits, so you can show your school spirit in style.
The store is only open until September 29th, so be sure to place your order before it's too late. Don't miss out!
The Parker PTO needs your help! We're looking for candy donations for our upcoming events, Trunk or Treat.
Please drop off your candy donations at the main office or send them in with your student. Thank you for your support!
