Hat Day on Friday, March, 29
We set a school-wide goal of earning 600 Timby Tickets last week for students who displayed our PBIS pillars of safety, responsibility, kindness, and engagement in learning.
Timberwolves went above and beyond this goal, so we're celebrating with an all-school Hat Day on Friday, March 29!
Welcome Ms. Lanyi

Submit Your Input for 2024-25 Class Placements
In order to provide the best possible placement for each Machester Park Elementary student, we want to make sure you understand our process when determining new groups of classes for the upcoming school year. Decisions are made based on input from the principal, school counselors, grade level teachers, specialists, and special education staff when applicable.
We want to accept your input as well. Please keep in mind that requests for individual teachers will not be honored, but feel free to go to the link below to offer any insight into what would bring the best success for your student.
Deadline for submitting your input is Friday, April 5.
Input will not be accepted after that date.
Kansas Asessment Dates
Grades 3-5 will be taking Kansas Assessments after Spring Break. Please check with your student's classroom teacher for specific dates. It's best for students to take these assessments with their classmates, so please arrange any appointments or other out-of-school dates around these if possible.
Solar Eclipse April 8
Our area will be experiencing a near full solar eclipse on April 8. The district is supplying viewing glasses for all students and staff, so we plan to take students out for a portion of the eclipse.
