Week 1 wrap up Message

🐳💙 Good Afternoon, Parker ECC Community! 💙🐳

What an absolutely wonderful first week of learning we had here at 705 County Street! There was so much engagement, laughter, learning, and joy happening throughout our building.
We are incredibly proud of how well our students transitioned into school, settled into their classrooms, and jumped right into our school routines. Watching them grow more comfortable and confident each day has been such a wonderful way to begin our year!

Parents and families, thank you so much for setting your children up for success! Your partnership, preparation, and support have made such a difference during this first week.

We are SO excited for the year ahead and all of the learning, growth, friendships, and wonderful memories we will create together!
Here’s to an incredible year at Parker ECC! 🐳📚💙


REMINDER THAT THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 7TH 

​
📚🐳 PRE-K ATTENDANCE MATTERS! 🐳📚

Every day in Pre-K matters! Regular attendance helps build the foundation for your child’s future success in school and sets the tone for their educational journey.
When children attend school consistently and arrive on time, they have more opportunities to:
⭐ Build early language, literacy, math, and thinking skills
🤝 Develop friendships, confidence, and social-emotional skills
🕘 Build routines, independence, and responsibility
🎓 Develop positive attendance habits that will carry with them into Kindergarten and beyond
We understand that children get sick and unexpected things happen. When your child is healthy and able to attend, please make every effort to have them at school every day and on time.
📣 If your child will be absent, please notify BOTH your child’s teacher AND the Parker office. If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment, please send a provider’s note to school so we can properly excuse the absence.
A consistent bedtime, preparing the night before, and keeping mornings calm and predictable can make getting to school on time much easier!
Attendance in Pre-K is about more than being present—it’s about building the habits, relationships, skills, and confidence that will follow your child throughout their educational career.
💙 Every day. Every child. Every opportunity to learn. Charting bright futures, one Whaler at a time! ⚓🐋


Thank you for partnering with us! Have a wonderful holiday ​weekend.
