Parklawn Elementary School Boundary Study and Capacity Community Meeting is Wednesday

The public is invited on Wednesday, May 14, 6:30-7:30 p.m., to Parklawn Elementary School for a community meeting to discuss space and capacity solutions for students for the 2025-26 school year (next school year). Language interpretation will be available. Parklawn Elementary School was identified as a priority for review for a potential boundary adjustment as part of the Adopted CIP. Community meetings for input on the scope of the boundary study were held in November and December 2024. The School Board voted on a scope in March 2025. Given the ongoing comprehensive boundary review, the Parklawn ES boundary study will be prioritized in that effort. This meeting will focus on how to accommodate students at Parklawn ES for next school year.  Visit the Parklawn Boundary Study webpage for additional information and to sign up for the Parklawn project email list.

Class Placement 2025-2026

We are already working on our plans for the 2025-2026 school year!  Class placements are an essential component of learning and building community. If you have information that you would like us to consider as we determine placements, please share your input by answering a few questions completing the form at the following link: 2025-2056 Class Placement Input Form know that a good teacher-student match and a productive mix of children are ingredients for success, and we carefully consider each child’s strengths and needs during this process. Please do not request specific teachers, as this does not take into account the many variables we must take into consideration. It is far more valuable to share particular academic or behavioral information.

Completion of this form is optional.  If you would like to provide input, you may use this online form by May 21, 2025. This is a hard deadline. Please know that input from forms turned in over the summer are difficult to honor since the grouping process has already started. Please fill out one form per child. Thank you!
