From the Principal Desk—
Dear Parents/Guardians of Park Students:
Welcome to the start of the 2023-2024 school year at Park Elementary School! As the new principal, I am thrilled and honored to be a part of this wonderful school community. It is with great enthusiasm that I extend my heartfelt greetings to our returning families and extend a warm welcome to our new ones. Currently we have 248 students in Grades 1, 2 and 3 and I am excited to meet them all!
Our staff has been working tirelessly over the summer to prepare for an exciting and productive school year ahead. We are dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Additionally, work has been conducted on the tunnel and as I write this letter, the crews are busy putting the finishing touches on the project inside and out.
At Park Elementary, we believe in fostering a culture of high achievement for all students, where learning is our most important work. Our school theme this year is “REACH FOR THE STARS.” We look forward to many “star studded” events throughout the year to help encourage our students to set goals and achieve them.
Open communication between home and school is vital to your child's success. We encourage you to be actively involved in your child's education and to take advantage of the numerous opportunities we offer for family engagement throughout the year. Whether it's attending parent-teacher conferences, volunteering, or participating in school events, your partnership is invaluable.
Please mark your calendars for our upcoming Back-to-School Bash on Monday, August 14th from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM . As we embark on this new journey together, know that my door is always open. I am here to support and collaborate with you to ensure the best possible educational experience for your child.
Here's to a fantastic school year!
Mrs. Makee
