PARK PENCIL POINT NEWSLETTER
January 11, 2024
The mission of the Chardon Local Schools is we commit to high achievement for all students.
REMINDER TO DRESS FOR THE WEATHER!
Park students go outside unless it is below 15 degrees, so they must be prepared each day. That means the following items should come to school daily: COAT, BOOTS, SNOW PANTS, HAT, GLOVES, SCARF, etc. The best way to send these items to school is in a reusable grocery bag. Marc's sells big ones that hold everything nicely and seem to last the season. PLEASE MARK EVERYTHING WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME!!!
A few other things to mention:
We do not wear boots in the classroom, so be sure your child has indoor shoes to wear.
Students without the appropriate snow clothes will not be allowed to play in areas with snow, and will have to remain on the blacktop at recess.
Extra socks come in handy, so feel free to keep an extra pair in the snow gear bag.
Students must be able to dress themselves, which includes zipping coats and putting on gloves.
Hello Hilltopper Families!
I want to congratulate our Park students on their academic achievements, as well as their continued commitment to learning and growth. I was filled with pride as I signed their report cards this past week. They “TOPPERED UP” and it showed! Their success is a testament to their efforts in the classroom as well as the importance of your support at home.
I encourage you to take a moment to celebrate your child's accomplishments together as a family. Acknowledge their hard work, perseverance and the positive attitude, all of which play an important role in their academic journey thus far.
As a reminder, spring conferences will be held on Tuesday, January 23rd and Tuesday, January 30th from 4:30-8:00 PM on an AS NEEDED basis. Teachers will be sending an email if a conference is needed or you may request a conference.
Once again, congratulations to your child on their exceptional achievements! Here’s to continued growth and success this upcoming quarter as they “Reach for the Stars!”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Makee
