Important Information for High School Families

October 17, 2021

Message from Principal Paddock

Greetings! The most significant indicator of positive culture and climate within the school community are the visible relationships between students, staff and families. Relationships are the foundation to learning. A community that develops strong, positive relationships creates opportunities to learn, honor, and celebrate the experiences of others. Collective experience allows us to develop, understand and create meaningful relationships. The ‘R’ in Park PRIDE acknowledges the importance of relationships in the learning environment. When we feel a connection to those in our community, we are better able to engage in academics. #ParkPRIDE   Take care, be well, and GO PARK! LaNisha Paddock Principal

Rainbow

During our 1st and 2nd week of Park Connections, we asked students and staff to share what strengths they bring to the school community that would enable them to be “rainbows in other people’s clouds.” Each person wrote their response on a sticky note, which then culminated into a school-wide rainbow! If you are ever in the building, it is by A212 so check it out. Share with your student how you will be a rainbow when they have clouds!
