Principal's Post
Hello Parkwood Parents,
Thank you for a wonderful first quarter of school and
to all of you for attending your child(ren)’s conference(s). The continued partnership of families and teachers enables our students to continue to achieve to the highest level of their ability.
We have been very busy this year with wonderful events both inside and outside the classrooms! I want to thank everyone who made the events possible so far this year. The field trips, Boosterthon Run, Picture Day, Scholastic Book Fair and our Annual Trunk or Treat. I am thankful for all our hardworking staff and supportive parents that make Parkwood Elementary a great place. I appreciate our hard-working students that show up everyday eager to learn and filled with enthusiasm. Our staff and our families are truly amazing and go above and beyond each day to help every child be successful.
As the weather gets colder, please make sure your child(ren) wears a jacket or coat. We will be going outside for recess unless the temperature drops below 20 degrees. Please write their name on the inside of the coat so if it is forgotten, we can return it to them. We already have a collection of lost and found. If your child is missing something, please check the the Lost and Found.
Being November and our Thanksgiving holiday right around the corner, I want to tell you how grateful I am that you send your children to our school each day. I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
Sue Bamford
