Most recently, our Panthers celebrated their Panther Prowl, one of our favorite traditions. Students always thrive when they’re encouraged and celebrated for their accomplishments, and this event was a perfect example. Parents and community members showed up in full force to cheer on every runner from TK through 5th grade (and even a few of our staff runners too!). even Superitnendent Larsen came out to cheer on our Panthers.

Your generous financial support will help bring much-needed classroom supplies and new technology to every classroom.

A huge thank-you goes out to our amazing PTA volunteers and Parkmont parents who helped make the event such a success. Special thanks to Ms. Poe, Ms. Huff, and Ms. Lambert for their assistance, and an extra shout-out to our incredible event coordinator, PTA member Siva Ravachandran, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Our fall conferences are now wrapped up, and I want to thank all of the parents and families who participated. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, especially about moving conferences a few weeks earlier. We encourage you to take time to set some goals with your child based on the feedback you received.

And finally, a great big thanks to all the families who provided snacks for our staff during conference week, your kindness and support truly make a difference during those long days.

This week, we’re looking forward to our annual Halloween Parade! We hope you can join us for the fun. Parade details are included in this week’s newsletter.

Thanks again for all that you do for our Parkmont Panthers, your support is what makes this community so special!

Halloween Parade and Costume Information:

​

Costumes: Students will be permitted to wear their Halloween costumes for the parade, and they may wear them at school for the day with no face masks or weapons of course. (To clarify: Face masks may be worn during the parade ONLY as long as your child can see clearly through the mask. Weapons that go along with costumes are NOT permitted at school at any time.) Costumes should also follow the FUSD Dress Code. For instance; midriff/chest should not be visible, straps on tops must be 3-finger width, and pants/shorts should be mid-thigh or longer in length. 

Parade: Parkmont will follow the parade route that takes us from the front of campus, down Parkside Dr., to the community Parkmont Pool, and back down Parkside drive to return to campus (rough map below). We hope that parents/families, and neighbors will line the street to watch all of the costumes go by. Parents will not be permitted on campus, but can stand near the pick-up/drop off lane, at the front of the school or along Parkside Dr. if desired. The parade will begin at approximately 8:40am. Please do not put chairs in front of a driveway or in a household lawn that does not belong to you. We would like to be courteous to our Parkmont neighbors. 

(If you do not want your child to participate, please let your child’s teacher know. )
