Park Middle School

Welcome to Park!

Friday, January 27, 2012 – “A” Day

Dear Park Families:

We are happy to announce that on Tuesday, January 17^th we started offering a dinner program to all Boys & Girls Club members through a partnership with LPS Nutrition Services and it has been a great success.  Dinner is served in the Park Middle School Cafeteria Monday-Friday from 5-5:30 pm and will be free of charge for all club members.  The process of serving the meals will be similar to the breakfast and lunch programs at school with club members punching in their SNAP numbers before receiving their meals.  We feel that good nutrition is the bedrock of lifelong health and healthy eating can stabilize children’s energy and sharpen minds.

There are a couple of procedural items I would like to share with you:

1.  Attendance:  Attendance to school is critical to academic success.  If your child is going to be absent from school for any reason, please contact Park (436-1212) immediately to excuse the absence and make arrangements to get homework from teachers.

2.  Before/After School Procedures:  The procedures are in place to help ensure the safety of students.  Just a reminder, campus opens at 7:30 a.m. and closes at 3:10 p.m.  Students are expected to be at their assigned activity, picked up, or at the Boys & Girls Club by 3:10 p.m.  We have had several calls recently from concerned community members about students wandering around the Park neighborhood in large groups.  This has proven not to be a safe practice for middle school students.  Please ensure your student(s) has an after school plan each day.  Thank you again for your support.

This web site is a great resource for information.  Also, follow us at http://twitter.com/ParkPanthers.  Please call us at 436-1212, or stop by Park if you have questions.

Thank you for helping to make Park a great place for students!  The Panthers are #1!

Sincerely,

Ryan Zabawa

Principal
