Principal's Update
Dear Parker Families,
Even with a short week, this week at Parker was full of great learning. Next Tuesday, our Best Buddies program will showcase our after-school program to the School Committee, please tune in on BATV at 6:00 p.m. to check out their presentation!
We’ll wrap up the week on Friday with our Parker Fun Run on the field. Grade-level times are listed below, and we’d love for you to join us on the Parker Front Field to cheer on your student.
Please remember to sign up for the Fun Run and help us reach our $30,000 goal, which directly supports field trips and events for our kids. Thank you all for your wonderful support!
Best,
Mr. Lutinski
Principal

Thank you for helping us fill our hallways with gratitude and put a smile on our staff's faces!
We are looking to replenish our snack supply for students who happen to forget theirs at home. Having extra snacks on hand helps ensure every student stays fueled and focused throughout the school day. If you would like to donate, please visit our Amazon Wishlist to have items shipped directly to us. Thank you so much for your generosity and continued support of our Parker community!
Dear Families/Caregivers,
As part of our ongoing commitment to student and staff safety, all Billerica Public Schools staff participated in training on the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) with the I Love U Guys Foundation during our November 3 professional development day, in collaboration with our local police, fire, and EMS partners. The SRP provides a common language and consistent procedures to help our school communities respond to a variety of situations. In the coming weeks, students will also be introduced to the SRP through age-appropriate instruction using this video (upper elementary) and this storybook (PK & lower elementary).
Please click HERE to review the parent guide to learn more about the protocol and the shared language we use to support a safe school environment. Thank you for your continued support.
