Attention Park Avenue Families! Right now, we have raised about $800 from our Charleston Wrap Fundraiser. This sale ends on Sunday. We need your help! Share the fundraising details with friends and family for last-minute support:https://registercw.com/gateway?organizationMidasId=29933

Park Avenue Families,

If your child is currently in Tier 2 attendance status (missing 5–9.9% of school days), you will receive an Individual Attendance Plan (IAP) form in their backpack over the next couple of days. This form is an important step in helping us work together to improve your child’s attendance and ensure they are on track for success.

Please take a few minutes to complete the parent portion of the form and return it to school as soon as possible. The information you provide helps us understand any barriers to attendance and allows us to offer the right support for your family.

Thank you for partnering with us to make sure your child is at school, learning, and growing every day!

🐯Park Avenue Family Literacy Night is tonight! See you at 5:30 for free pizza, games, and prizes! We will be in the 100 building and the cafeteria from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. We hope to see you here!
