Dear Parents,

During Conference Week, October 13-17, school will be dismissed at 1:15 PM. During this week, the After School Program (ASP) will be available to support your family's needs, however, it requires separate registration, even if your student is already enrolled in traditional ASP. The fee for the week is $75, regardless of the number of days your student attends.

To secure your spot, please register your student as soon as possible. Registration is now open and can be completed at the following link: ASP for Conference Week Registration.

We look forward to having your student attend ASP during Conference Week!

Sincerely,

Park Street would like to thank parents for keeping their child/children home when sick and remind them about Return to School protocols during illness.

Keeping illness out of the school is one of the best defenses for all types of sickness. If your son or daughter is ill, please keep them home. This allows your child to recover and prevent others from becoming sick.

If your child stays home for more than 48 hours due to an illness, don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's teacher and or Nurse Nicole. Our school nurse is here for guidance and support.

Return to School Protocol

• Symptoms clear within 24 hours → return to school*
• *Must be fever-free for 24 hours

Thank you for helping keep Park Street a healthy place to learn, grow, and thrive.

-Mr. Soto
