Month: August 2021

Please remember that the Sylvan Park playground is used by PNA until 6:00 p.m. each evening. PNA requests that people refrain from bringing their dogs onto the playground until after that time. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

Here are some quick tips to help speed up arrival and dismissal:

1. Car rider arrival:
          a) please pull all the way up to the car in front of you.
          b) remain in your vehicle
          c) listen for the whistle, as soon as it is blown, your child may exit the
              vehicle

d) *expert tip: instead of waiting in the car rider line, park on Utah or
                    Wyoming and walk up to the front of the school

2. Car rider dismissal:
          a) Put your child’s name/ grade tag in your driver side window
          b) please pull all the way up to the car in front of you
          c) remain in your vehicle
          d) *expert tip: instead of waiting in the car rider line, park on Utah or
                    Wyoming, walk up to the front of the school and pick up as a walker
                   (if you choose this option, be sure to tell the homeroom teacher that
                   your child is a walker)

3. Walker dismissal:
          a) line up on the left side of the walk facing the school
          b) when it is your turn, hold up your child’s name/grade tag
          c) once your child has been called, move to the right side of the front walk
              and your child will meet you outside momentarily.

We promise that arrival and dismissal will get faster. Thanks so much for your patience and cooperation. Go Panthers!

Are you looking for a rewarding way to be involved at Sylvan Park? The PTO needs a Home Room Parent (HRP) for each classroom. HRPs are a tradition at Sylvan Park. A parent(s) serves as a liaison between teachers, parents, and the PTO board. Please consider volunteering for this most rewarding role for your child’s classroom this year! Email Natalie Goldsby at ntgoldsby@gmail.com if interested.

Let’s support our beloved Sylvan Park teachers by completing some tasks to get their classrooms ready for the beginning of the year! Come to school Saturday, August 7 at 9:00 (or whenever you can after 9:00) ready to roll up your sleeves and get things looking beautiful.
