Hello Parkwood Parents,
Welcome to our Parkwood Elementary Family! We have had a wonderful start of the 2022-2023 school year. THANK YOU so very much for allowing us to work with your children and many thanks to everyone who volunteered to make sure our first weeks of school ran smoothly. I enjoyed seeing everyone who attended our ‘Back to School Bash’ and visited their child’s classroom. We are very fortunate to have such supportive parents at Parkwood. Thank you for sharing your children with us!
During our first week of school, we introduced our students to Panther Pride:
We are Respectful
We are Responsible
We are Problem Solvers
We are committed to teaching building-wide behavioral expectations for all common areas (Hallway, Cafeteria, Restrooms, Playground and Bus). As students practice these traits throughout the school year, they will have the opportunity to earn “Gotcha” tickets to acknowledge their Panther Pride. They will have the opportunity to be a “Bucket Filler” for their classroom and also have an opportunity to win small prizes each week.
Please review our Arrival and Dismissal Procedures. It is very important to follow the procedures for the safety of our school. We have specific areas our staff monitor and our priority is the safety of all students.

Student Fee statements will be sent home mid-September and fees are due starting the day after. If you need assistance with this process, Fee Waiver Forms will be available in our main office and Mrs. Taynor will be glad to assist you.
We are excited to bring back our BAOTAP and MISOTAP Assemblies! The scheduled dates are below. Our PTO Mum Sale started today. The money raised is going towards new playground equipment for our students! Dairy Queen Spirit Day is Wednesday, August 31 all day long. The flyer is attached below. Make sure to check out our upcoming events. We have a lot scheduled for the year!
Sincerely,
Sue Bamford

Mum Sale
Be on the lookout for an email from FundraiseIt to find out how to create your student's online shopping link! This school year we are raising money to purchase new playground equipment for Parkwood!
Orders for this fundraiser can only be placed online. If you have a friend or family member who would prefer not to place an order online they can always give their cash/check to you and you can place an order on their behalf using the online payment method. Your student's unique shopping link will stay open until midnight on September 5.
Mums will be available for pick up on Friday, September 16, you will receive an email with your pick up time window. If you are unable to pick up your order on September 16 you must make alternative arrangements with a friend or family member to pick your order up that day. Peach Lutheran Church has graciously offered Parkwood their parking lot on pick up day and we are unable to leave any items on the premises after the pickup window closes.
Thank you so much for all the ways you support Parkwood!
Dairy Queen Spirit - All Day
First one of the year! Dairy Queen, located at 4148 Dayton Xenia, will give Parkwood a percentage of sales on August 31 when you present the attached flyer at the time of your purchase! A printed flyer will be going home in students folders.
