Friday Notes, 8/20/21

Dear Panther Families,

We are excitedly counting down the days to the start of the 2021-2022 school year at Parkwood-Upjohn on August 30th! Our first day will be a half day that will end at 12 PM. Our first full day will be August 31st and will end at 3:44 PM. Attached, please find the Morning Arrival and Afternoon Dismissal Map that we will all use this year. Make sure to remember that there will be no supervision of children before 8:44 AM each morning. Parents may not drop off students before 8:44 AM.

At lunch time, students will eat both out of doors and in our cafeteria. The reduced number of diners in a given lunch area will improve; cleanliness, volume and comfort for all students. We believe that this will be a positive change that we can implement permanently (weather permitting).

Also, don’t forget that we are hosting our annual Back to School BBQ on August 26th from 4:30-6 PM at the school playground. This will be our first celebration of many as we kick off our 100th – and most exciting – year ever of school at Parkwood-Upjohn! Thank you to our PTO for helping to coordinate this event.

Thanks for being a Panther,

Mr. Murray
