We would like to invite all of our Park families to our Back to School Night. This is a great time for your student to give you a tour of the building and get to know their teachers at Park Elementary. Students can meet specials teachers during this time as well. This is a great time to build relationships with other parents and students at Park. Teachers will be explaining to parents about the Park anchors, classroom procedures and processes and academics. We will also have treats on the playground outside. See the rotation schedule by clicking on the "Read More" box.
