Parkway Central Middle School Champions of Character:
Colts Caring Community Parents we are about to embark on the next piece of our journey in the State and National School of Character Recertification process; which happens every five years. We will be sending out surveys to our students, faculty, staff, parents and community members. One thing that we wanted to be sure to do was broadcast our Core Values in the community. If you work at, or own, a business in our school zone, would you consider picking up a laminated copy of our Champions of Character Core Values list and displaying it? We can also bring the sign to you if you let us know.
The goal of this community outreach is to let the community know what we value as educators/students as well as to let students know that everyone in their lives want to help them succeed in life!
Thanks!
Cathy

to our students on Friday 10/14/22 from 1:30-3:00pm.
The consent form and insurance information is attached.
Only students who return the completed consent form , along with a copy of their insurance
card,will receive the vaccination. Please let the nurse know if a student is currently uninsured.
VNA will provide the masks and will ask that all staff and students please wear a mask while in
front of the nurse, but VNA understands if some students refuse or do not want to and that will
be okay. Students will not be turned away for not wearing a mask.
Please fill out the consent form completely below, and return it to the nurse by Oct. 4th .
