As you prepare for the week ahead, these Summer Academy superstars have a few reminders for you:
Monday: If you drive your student to school, please enter from School Street and exit onto Flossmoor Road. Please drive carefully, as some students are walking or riding their bikes to school.
Wednesday: There is no school in honor of the Juneteenth holiday. Please consider lining Flossmoor Road between Brassie Avenue and Village Hall at 9 a.m. to cheer on the Village of Flossmoor, and You Matter 2's 3rd annual Juneteenth Parade participants!
Thursday: Sports Day! Wear your favorite team shirt, sports jersey, or team colors!
It's going to be a great week, SD 161!
Positive people, Positive leaders, Positive results! Great meet up of Parker leaders as we reflect on our successes and plan for upcoming school year. Wishing a happy and relaxing summer to our parents, scholars, and community!
Remember, today is BEACH DAY during Summer Academy. Grab your shades and sandals and head to school for a morning of learning and enrichment. See you there!
Watch for theme days during Summer Academy. First up, a beach day is scheduled for Thursday! Wear your shades and summer sandals to be part of the fun.
We offer a few tips to help make the arrival process run smoothly on Monday, the first day of Summer Academy.
1. If you plan to drop your student off, you must enter from School Street and exit on Flossmoor Road. This is for the safety of the students and to help keep the flow of traffic moving.
2. Please be informed that there will be no in-person registration at Parker Junior High on Monday. If you have any questions or concerns about your student's registration, we are here to assist you. Please call 708-647- 5560 or email summeracademy@sd161.org.
3. School begins at 8:30 am and dismisses at 11:30 am.
