Word of the Week is back!
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
As in past years, Park Lawn Elementary will use Family Access through Skyward to schedule Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Scheduling opens Thursday, October 3 at 8:00 a.m. and will close
Friday, October 11 at 4:00 p.m.
You may click here for a link to the Family Access Log in Page located on the OASD website. Once you open Family Access click on the Teacher Conference Tab along the left hand side of the page.
If you have multiple children in the school, we recommend that you complete this process early for the best chance at grouping your conference times together. Please consider leaving a block of time in between conferences so that you can have a full 20 minute conference for each child.
We request that parents who live in separate households schedule just one conference with each child’s teacher. By attending the conference together, we are able to share the same information with both parents at the same time.
K5 – 4th Grade Conferences are being held on:
· Tuesday, October 15 from 7:00am-8:00am (every 20 minutes) and 4:00pm-8:00pm (every 20 minutes)
· Thursday, October 17 from 1:00p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (every 20 minutes)
K4 – Mrs. Schleicher Conferences are being held on:
· Tuesday, October 15 from 7:00am-8:00am (every 20 minutes) and 4:00pm-8:00pm (every 20 minutes)
· Thursday, October 17 from 8:00a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (every 20 minutes)
K4 – Mrs. Koszycki Conferences are being held on:
· Tuesday, October 15 from 7:00am-8:00am (every 20 minutes) and 4:00pm-8:00pm (every 20 minutes)
· Thursday, October 17 from 7:40a.m. to 11:40a.m. (every 20 minutes)
If you do not have internet access, please contact the Park Lawn Elementary office at
262-560-8205 to schedule your conferences.
We look forward to meeting with you!
PICTURE RETAKES
*If your child is having their picture retaken, don't forget to bring their original package of pictures with them on the day of retakes*
FIELD TRIP PERMISSION SLIPS & PAYMENT
This year, you will not be seeing a permission come home to be signed for your child as this was part of your online registration process. You signed a permission slip online to blanket all field trips for the school year.
For payment, we have grouped all payments into one lump sum to cover the cost of all trips this year (please note, these are subject to change at any time and additional charges may apply). These payments would have been made during the registration process as well. Please check your Family Access to see if payment is still due.

I am making Every Day Count when I am Respectful in the hallways by:
- Using a whisper voice so I do not disturb others and can hear announcements and directions
- Admiring artwork and displays with my eyes and not my hands
- Staying in my personal space
I am making Every Day Count when I am Responsible in the hallways by:
- Taking care of myself and my belongings
- Coming in and out from recess right away
- Being aware of the time of day
I am making Every Day Count when I am Safe in the hallways by:
- Using my walking feet
- Sharing the hallway with others who are traveling
- Cleaning up any messes I make
