Building Successful Futures-Each Student-Every Day
Thank you for another successful week!!
Mask Reminders
NWEA
Our Fall Window for the NWEA Map Growth Assessment opens next week, September 21st and runs until October 9th for all Kindergarten through 5th grade Eagles. This year we are testing all in person and online learners.
Our in person learners’ teachers will be sharing with you this Friday in their newsletter, their grade levels’ testing day and specifics. We do have a window to allow for make-up testing, but do prefer your student not miss specifically the next two weeks, if possible. Note that starting dates may vary for in person learners per grade level.
Our online learners will begin their assessment starting the week of September 28th, starting date may vary per grade, to allow for online teachers to communicate with families and set up small cohorts of students to assess on their testing days. Again, look for information to be coming out this Friday from your child’s online teacher.
This message is to just give our parents a heads up that vital information will be coming out to parents regarding the test. Our online families will be receiving parent resources through a separate SMORE newsletter to assist with you overseeing your student’s NWEA test this Fall. This newsletter will go out through your child’s teacher on Friday. If you have any questions after you receive information on Friday, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher.

Car Rider Reminders
- Do not get out of your vehicle. Our staff will assist your child as needed.
- Place your car rider sign in your window where it is clearly visible.
- Pay careful attention to our staff members, they will signal you when it is safe to pull up or drive away.
Park Hill Clothing Center
The Park Hill Clothing Center would like to thank all of the families who have contributed to our facility. For anyone not familiar with the clothing center there is more information here: https://www.parkhill.k12.mo.us/parent_resources/pta_clothing_center
There have been some changes due to Covid-19. The biggest change is that we must limit the number of people in the building. Therefore if you need to “shop” (the clothes are free) please sign up for a time slot using the link above.
Volunteers are greatly needed! We have been fortunate to have received numerous donations, however we’ve had a difficult time hanging up all of the incoming clothes with very few volunteers. If anyone has 1-2 hours to contribute we would greatly appreciate it. The above link also has a link for volunteers. New dates are periodically added so keep checking back.

Anyone can nominate an employee for this award by using the form below. It asks you to share how your nominee demonstrates our district values of continuous improvement, high expectations, integrity, visionary leadership and student focus.
