My son attended Park from 2nd grade to 5th grade, through COVID. Of course, in hindsight, I think everyone would approach those years of COVID differently now. But everyone did the best they could. My son fell behind during that period, but had caught up rather quickly with the help of everyone and the summer bridge program. I think that Park has excellent leadership in their VP and Principal, the teachers have been caring and kind, the support staff are truly exceptional and personable, always making me as a parent, feel heard. The emphasis on social emotional learning, is a huge plus, in this day and age. Academically, my son felt challenged, he received support when needed . The school has a welcoming community feel to it that parents and children really enjoy. Bullying and bad behavior were handled appropriately and with empathy. Diversity and equity were exemplified and discussed as part of the curriculum, something that made my son a better and more worldly person.We were very blessed to be a part of the Park community for four years. Thank you to all the dedicated teachers and staff that make Park a great place for children to learn and grow as human beings. You will be missed!
