OLIVIA PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
A MESSAGE FROM MS. PENCE
As our evenings are lighter and spring is upon us, we are moving into the last trimester of the 2021-2022 school year. Please check your child’s backpack for their trimester two progress report. These reports were sent home on Friday, April 1st. If you have questions concerning the progress report, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher.
It is critical I share the importance of your student(s) coming to school on time each day. Most teachers start with a class meeting that frames the day by highlighting upcoming learning. Our teachers work hard to make every minute count for your child(ren). When a child enters the classroom late, our teachers stop their teaching to welcome the student into the classroom community and catch them up on what they have missed. This impacts the flow of learning for the other students in the classroom. On behalf of the Olivia Park Staff, we would appreciate your efforts in getting your child to school by 8:55 each morning.
Finally, I want to give a huge thank you to our wonderful PTA and all they do for our students, staff, and community. I know we are always looking for members to provide input and time regarding the many enrichment opportunities for students. Join the April 21st meeting via Zoom at 6:00pm. I provide a principal report regarding all the happenings at Olivia Park at each meeting. Come check it out!
Wishing you all a wonderful Spring Break beginning on April 9th. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or needs.
Fondly,
Katie Pence

Polar Paws - Because Students are doing a great job!
Here at Olivia Park, classrooms are recognized by staff members who see all students in the class modeling our school expectations of being safe, respectful, and responsible. This special ticket is given to the class and collected. Each time a classroom achieves the goal of earning 20 Polar Paws, they have a special celebration to recognize their hard work as a group.
