Welcome, Sylvan Park Community!

We are so glad you are here!

Save the Date for Open House, 8/23

Mark your calendars for our Sylvan Park Back to School Open House on Tuesday, August 23 from 6-7 p.m. More details to come!

Volunteer to Be a Home Room Parent!

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, a tradition at Sylvan Park, serve 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 Blair Gunn at blair.r.gunn@gmail.com if interested.

First Week Back Teacher Snack Bar

Please help us welcome back our teachers with a snack bar! Homemade items are encouraged but not required. Sign up here and drop off your items at the school front office between 8:30am and 1:30 pm on Friday, August 12th. Thank you!

We are so grateful for the parents and students who rolled up their sleeves for Parent Work Days this past weekend and helped get our classrooms looking fabulous!
