Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
As we are quickly approaching the end of the school year, I wanted to thank you all for your partnership during this historic school year. As I have continued to try to gather multiple perspectives from stakeholders, I think there are a lot of things that we should collectively celebrate, and there are areas where we need to continue to improve. Thanks to each of you for the roles that you have played in partnering with us to help our children grow. We have been reflecting on some of the practices that we have used this year, and I look forward to our continued collaboration as we move to actualize our District Strategic Plan.
We have a lot of fun events planned for the next few days. We will have a school gathering to dance outside tomorrow for our in-person learners. We look forward to helping our fifth graders transition to middle school next week. We will send a fifth grade specific email early next week with information about the fifth grade Celebration of Learning and the Fifth Grade Reverse Parade. I am hoping for great weather next week, also, for our end of the year activities next Thursday.
Thanks for being a member of our community; have a great week!
In partnership,
Corey

District-Owned Device/Electronics Collection |
Instructional planning for the 2021-2022 school year is underway. The collection of school-issued Chromebooks, iPads and mobile hotspots and associated chargers prior to the last day of school is essential to ensure digital tools are available for learning at the start of next school year.
In-person families: If your child has not already done so and if they were issued a school device (chromebook or iPad), send it to school on Monday, May 17. Don't forget the charger! Students will still be devices at school, but they will not be bringing them home. We are starting the inventory process to ensure that we will have devices in the fall.
DLA families: You will need to bring your child's device and charger on Thursday, June 10 between 9:15 and 11:30 to the office at Door 1. If this timing does not work for you or you don't have transportation, please email vandewalker.sara@slpschools.org
