Panther Press for August 29, 2021

First Week Fun!

It was wonderful welcoming all of our Parklawn panthers back to School for the 2021-2022 school year! There were big smiles, excitement, and an energy we all could feel throughout the building! Thank you to all of our Parklawn family members who partnered with us as we navigated new routines in a new school year.

Please help us keep all of our students, staff and families safe during arrival and dismissal by following these routines:

  • Make sure to have your number clearly displayed during pick up.
  • Adults should stay in the car during drop off and pick up.
  • Students should only enter or exit the car on the right side of the car closest to the curb.
  • Drivers should not go around the car in front of them unless directed by Parklawn staff.
  • Be mindful of driveways, entrances and exits off of Braddock Road and do not block these locations while waiting in line.
  • Follow directions of the Parklawn staff to make sure we are not blocking our buses.
