Virtual Open House Tonight!

Join Sylvan Park staff and PTO for Virtual Open House tonight at 6pm! We will begin all together with introductory remarks from Ms. Goetz and PTO, then break out into grade-level meetings. Use the hyperlinked agenda sent by Ms. Goetz and posted to https://sylvanparkpdc.weebly.com/ to access the meeting.

Instructional Materials Pick-up

Curbside pick-up of instructional materials is today, Tuesday (8/18). These resources are critical to your child's curriculum. K-4 will be receiving workbooks that go along with the virtual curriculum, a stack of paper math manipulatives, AND the first weeks of school forms to be completed. K-2 will also receive books that supplement their learning sessions. Please be sure to come by Sylvan Park Tuesday to get your materials. 

To help control the flow, K-2 will pick up in the back parking lot and 3rd-4th grades will pick up at the front of the school. Last names A-M will come from 3-4pm. Last names N-Z will come between 4-5pm. We look forward to seeing you!

MNPS Student-Parent Online 2020-2021 Handbook--Forms Due Sept. 4th

IMPORTANT: The permissions from parents/guardians that are included with the handbook will now be collected online, making it easier for families and schools to indicate and track. The due date is September 4, 2020. With school starting virtually and devices and hotspots provided by the district, all families should have the resources to submit their permissions online.

Sign Vandalism--PTO Needs Your Help!

Our school sign has been vandalized multiple times over the past few months. Ms. Goetz has asked for our help so that she can continue to put messages to our community on the sign. PTO received several quotes for locking Vandal Covers but they are cost-prohibitive at this time. If anyone in our community has connections to a commercial sign company or experience with security camera options and installation, please contact the PTO at PTO.spark@gmail.com
