🎄✨ Holiday Dress-Up Day Update! ✨🎄
City Park families, we have some breaking, exciting news to share!
Our amazing PAWS team has decided to add PAWjamas as an official dress-up option for next Friday, December 19! 🐾🎉
Why the change? Our fourth graders have been hard at work writing persuasive letters to Ms. Rhyne as practice for their upcoming ELA Unit 3 Project-Based Inquiry Task with Savvas — and let’s just say their reasons were so purrrrrsuasive that Ms. Rhyne simply couldn’t resist! 😺💛
So whether your child wants to dress festive, cozy, or in their favorite PAWjamas, we can’t wait to see all the holiday spirit across campus next Friday!
Stay tuned for the flyer below, and get ready for a fun and spirited day at City Park! 🎁❄️🐾


City Park Elementary will be closed for Winter Break from December 22 through January 5. We hope all our students and families enjoy a safe, restful holiday season!
Students return to class on Tuesday, January 6.
Stay warm and enjoy the break! ❄️


Through our Helping Hands Ending Hunger program, each participating family is receiving a crock pot, made possible by our Helping Hands program and generous donations from the American Heart Association. These crock pots were thoughtfully chosen to provide families with an easy, accessible kitchen appliance to help make meal preparation simpler.
In addition, families have received fresh and frozen produce over the past several weeks to support healthy meals at home.
We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of these outreach programs and the difference they make for our families, especially during the holiday season. 🧡










Our Student Council is working hard to stock our Clothes “CLAWSet”, and we’re kicking off a Jogging Pants Drive! 🐾
We are collecting new or gently used jogging pants in all sizes to support our students.
📅 Donation Window: December 1–19
📍 Drop-Off: Students can place donations in the collection box on their hallway.
Your generosity helps us make sure every Panther is warm, comfortable, and ready to learn. Thank you for supporting our school community! ❤️🖤


Science Family Night
Thursday, December 18, promises to be an exciting day at the 405! At 5:30 PM, our Glee Club will inaugurate our Family Science Night with a delightful holiday concert and sing along. Kindergarten and1st Grade will perform Jingle Bells, 2nd and 3rd Grades will perform Elfie Selfie. All of our grades will sing Feliz Navidad together--we encourage everyone to attend this interactive show!
Following the concert, PAWS will provide hot chocolate and sweet treats in our cafeteria. Families will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and engage in enjoyable, hands-on science activities.
To prepare our students for this engaging Science Night, PAWS will host two science-themed assemblies during the school day on Thursday, presented by The Science Zone. Our K-2 grades will participate in the assembly at 9:00 AM, and our grades 3-5 will attend at 10:00 AM. This assembly is made possible through our media center, funded by proceeds from our recent Scholastic Book Fair and the upcoming FUN Services Holiday Shop. PAWS appreciates the support of all who participated in these events, as the profits directly benefit all of our City Park Panthers!


Friday, December 19 will be an early dismissal day. Students will be released at 12:15 PM. Please remember that there is no ASP on early dismissal days.
We will have our PAWS and Claus Pep Session at 9:00 AM on this date. We will recognize our PAWSitive Panthers for December at this time. Parents of those students being recognized will be invited to attend. Entrance for this event will be through the GYM lobby.


If you need to reach your child, you may contact us by calling the front office, emailing your child’s teacher or school, or sending a message through the Dalton Public Schools app.
Thank you for helping us support a focused and distraction-free learning environment!




Personal devices — including cell phones and smart watches — will not be permitted during the school day for students in grades K–8.
