Dear Parker Parents, if your student rides the bus or is a walker, we are sending them home with either the water bottle they brought from home or a recyclable water bottle. It's important that they stay hydrated in this heat. Please send the water bottles back with them tomorrow so they will have them at school. Thank you!
PVMS Families - With the high temperatures, please encourage your students to bring a refillable water bottle to school. We would like all students and staff to stay well hydrated. This is especially important for bus riders and athletes. Coaches will be taking great precautions for practices. Thank you!
Parker elementary is hiring an evening custodian. If you are interested, please fill out an application on our website or call the school at 913-898-3160.
PVMS Families - based on our area weather forecasts, we expect to be experiencing extreme heat over the next several days. Students are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle to school for hydration throughout the day. We also hope parents will encourage our student athletes to hydrate themselves well before practices (football and cross country especially). We appreciate your partnership in keeping our students safe and healthy. Thank you and have a fun and safe weekend!
Congratulations to Jarrett Williams, one of our PV seniors, for graduating from bootcamp in the Army National Guard!
