This Week at Parkway!

Principal’s Weekly Update
Last week was full of fun and memorable moments here at Parkway! We kicked things off with our Around the World Literacy Night. I personally had a great time participating in the Around the World Escape Room—it was so impressive to see how many of our students and families worked together to solve all 14 math riddles and successfully escape!
By midweek, we were celebrating with green-tinted applesauce and lots of school spirit, and by Friday, we were outside enjoying the sunshine on the first day of spring. It was a wonderful week of connection, learning, and fun.

This Week: March 23- 27, 2026
As we head into this week, it marks the final week of third quarter. This is a great time to check in with your student and ensure any missing assignments are completed and turned in.
A few important reminders for the week:
  • Monday: Late Start & ASB
  • Wednesday: Shelter-in-Place Drill at 10:15 AM
  • Thursday: School Pictures (be sure to review the information below)

Next Week: March 30 - April 3

  • Wednesday: Student of the Month Pizza Lunch & Last Day of Chess Club

Talk About Attendance

Week of Mar 23: 🏅 Stay the Course
Consistency helps your child finish the year confident and proud.
💡 Tip: Encourage perseverance with small recognition at home.
 

Thank You Families for Making Online Safety a Priority!

LINK IS NOW FIXED!
I was out for a few days, so I didn’t get the chance to say thank you to all the parents and guardians who attended our Connected Communities Online Safety Training.
I truly enjoyed connecting with those of you who were there and sharing my heart for why this issue matters so much in our community. Helping our kids navigate the digital world is not something schools can tackle alone—it takes all of us working together and looking out for our kids.
To continue the conversation and work collaboratively to better understand this new connected reality, I’m planning to host a Book Talk around The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt.
If you’re interested in joining the conversation, please take a moment to fill out the link below and share your thoughts on possible times, dates, and formats.

I look forward to continuing this important conversation together.
