The Green Team
Hello Deer Park Students and Families!
The Green Team is excited to get to work as we look forward to the school year! The Green Team accomplished some pretty cool things, culminating in earning Silver Status with the National Wildlife Foundation's EcoSchools US initiative. We look forward to building on that success.
Please take a moment to read through our Summer Newsletter at the link below to celebrate the Green Team’s successes with us, and to fill out the survey QR code at the bottom. Your input is vital and appreciated!
LETS GO!

Patrol News
Hello Fifth Grade Parents!
What an awesome start to the year this has been! This is Mr. Wallace and Ms. Fuchs, and we are Deer Park’s Patrol Sponsors. We have received a lot of interest from our fifth grade students and families about becoming a Patrol as the year has begun, and wanted to pass along some information.
Patrols are a spectacular leadership opportunity that we offer primarily to our Sixth Grade students. From time to time, specific school needs require us to ask for fifth grade students to step into these roles; for instance, if we do not have enough interested sixth graders who ride a given bus, we may ask fifth graders on that bus if they are interested.
Our hope in sending this email is to gauge interest and availability among our fifth graders who may be able to fill specific needs as they arise. Joining this list does not guarantee a Patrol position for our fifth grade students this year; however, all of our fifth grade students will have the opportunity to be a Patrol as they enter into sixth grade next year should they choose so.
If your student is interested, please click here to fill out the Patrol Interest Form.
Should you have any questions, please reach out to us directly: mdwallace@fcps.edu and ksfuchs@fcps.edu.
Thank you!
-Ms. Fuchs and Mr. Wallace
