Dear Worthington Park Families,
Happy Friday Park Sharks! Another wonderful Friday and week here at Worthington Park Elementary School. As we begin to wrap up the end of the 2022 year, we want to thank all of our students and families for your continued support of the school. This community is a special place and we are so grateful for each of you!
Next week, we have school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before we close for the Winter Holiday Break. Please remember to call into the office to make our team aware of your child will be missing school due to illness or other family plans.
Below are a few quick messages and reminders for the coming week. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to our main office or me directly. Have a great weekend, and a great Holiday Season! GO SHARKS

If you have not taken time to read all of Dr. Bowers' recent blogs, perhaps this weekend you might find time to check them out. The new building projects should be of particular interest as these will directly impact your children.

Our 5th grade Park Sharks, under the direction of their ELA teacher Ms. Brinich, has started their very own podcast. During this episodes, students conduct interviews, talk about school topics, and showcase all of the hard work our students are doing at Worthington Park.
Each episode is planned, written, and produced by our students! If you're interested, check out the links below:
While we have had beautiful weather this past week, we know that cold temperatures are headed our way. We encourage all parents to start sending students with coats, hats, and gloves in their bookbags daily. As a school- we always try to utilize our beautiful grounds and playground as much as possible. Even in winter months, our students will be going outside as long as the temperature at or above 20 degrees. Below is more information from our District Elementary Handbook. Thank you for helping keep our Park Sharks warm!
Weather and health permitting, we expect all children to go outside for recess. In our schools, when the weather is dry/dry enough, and the temperature is 20 degrees or higher, real temperature, or wind-chill, we plan to take students outside for recess. It is critically important that parents/guardians send students appropriately dressed for the weather conditions and seasons.
All spirit wear and Art to Remember orders have now been distributed and should have come home with your child. Thank you to everyone who supported our PTA with an order! If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please reach out to worthingtonparkpta@gmail.com.
The Worthington Park PTA Board would like to wish all the Worthington Park families a very happy holiday season! We look forward to seeing you all again in 2023 for our next PTA meeting on Wednesday, January 11th and our winter glow dance on Friday, January 27th. More details to come after winter break!
