This Week at Parkway

November is flying by, and this is our last full week of the month!
Our classrooms are buzzing with activity, and learning continues long after the school day ends. In this month of thanksgiving, I encourage all of us to show up each day grateful for the gift of education—a gift that opens doors and prepares our students for future success.
Thank you for the great response to our after-school enrichment classes!

Mud and Magic Art Class begins Tuesday and is currently full with a waitlist. Please verify whether or not your student is in the class or on the waitlist. If your student will be absent, please let us know so we can offer the spot to the next student. Pick-up is at 4:15 p.m.
Thank you for your support as we learn and grow together.
Warmly,
Kim Gilreath
Principal, Parkway Intermediate
WE ARE TENACIOUS TIGERS … AND WE WON’T GIVE UP! GRRR!
 

ASB Food Drive Competition!

Did you miss the district-wide food drive? You’re in luck!
Parkway’s ASB is excited to announce a schoolwide class competition running November 17–21, 2025. Help us support our local food bank by bringing in non-perishable food items. The class that brings in the most donations will earn bragging rights—and help make a big impact in our community!
Let’s show what Parkway pride looks like!
