We were so excited to hold our first assemblies this past week celebrating students in a new way! The Prideful Panther awards recognized students who were contributors to our Parklawn community in direct correlation to our school’s mission – Welcome. Engage. Educate. Teachers from each grade level identified up to two students from their classes who act as a cornerstone of the Parklawn family. These students are not only dedicated to their own academic growth but are actively committed to making our school a safe, welcoming, and high-achieving environment for everyone. Congratulations to those students who were nominated!

We are halfway through Benchmark Unit 6 in Language Arts! Across grade levels, students have explored stories involving quests, challenges, and problem-solving.
Connect with your child’s learning at school with these fun questions and hands-on activities at home:
- Question: Which character has been your favorite from this unit and why?
- Activity: With your child, brainstorm a brand-new invention to solve a problem, like shoelaces that tie themselves or a clothes dryer that folds clothes. Ask your child to tell or write a story about someone using the invention.
At the end of the unit, your child will take their unit magazine home. The magazine includes an activity calendar with fun ways to help students build on what they’re learning at each grade level. You can also find information on how to support your child’s reading at home on the Benchmark Families website.
April 13-17: Parklawn Book Fair
April 17: PTA Bingo Night
