Dear City Park School Families,
We want to make you aware of a situation that occurred at City Park School earlier today.
To support a student who needed assistance, the school briefly implemented a temporary lockdown. This step was taken to allow staff to respond appropriately while maintaining a calm and safe environment for everyone on campus.
At no time was there a threat to students or staff. The situation was addressed promptly by school administration, and normal operations resumed shortly thereafter.
We are thankful for the quick response and continued partnership of our local law enforcement agencies, who responded rapidly to support the school and were available should their assistance have been needed.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and support as we take thoughtful steps to care for students and maintain a secure learning environment.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school office.

Here's another fun Winter poem from PAWZ!
Windows sparkle with icy lace,
and frosty patterns we can trace.
Crunchy footsteps, breath so white —
winter mornings are pure delight

Mrs. Arthur's scientists tried out some static electricity today!
In Mr. Allred’s Science class, scientists are learning about electrons and the electron transfer. Students are using balloons to demonstrate this phenomenon. Even with all the humidity making things more challenging, they had fun and learned!
Yearbooks are on sale until April 17!
As we kick off the new year, PAWZ would like to remind our Panthers to remember to kick it safely in PE and Dance/Tumbling!
Proper athletic shoes give students the support they need to run, jump, and play without slipping or getting hurt. To help everyone participate safely, please make sure your child wears closed-toe shoes, ideally tennis shoes. Shoes with heels are not allowed, as they can damage our equipment. Shoes that stay securely on the feet — like sneakers with laces or Velcro — help prevent trips and falls. Sandals, boots, Crocs, or flip-flops can make it hard to participate fully and safely. We also encourage athletic or comfortable play clothes—leggings, shorts, or t-shirts work great!
While no child will ever be left out because of their clothing, proper attire helps students move more freely and comfortably during class.
Please help your child be ready for PE and Dance/Tumbling by sending them in comfortable, well-fitting athletic shoes on these specials days. The right footwear helps your child do their best and stay injury-free!
