Spring Picture Day is coming! Be sure to dress your best and wear your best smile on Friday, February 13!

Second graders are working on their Savvas project based inquiry project with Mrs. Talley and Ms. Hewitt. They are using Canva to write persuasive letters to Ms. Rhyne about the implementation of a new City Park tradition. PAWZ can't wait to see what PAWSibilities these writers come up with!

We look forward to welcoming our Panthers to the 405 on Tuesday! Doors will open at 9:30 (2 hours later than the original  time of 7:30). Reminder: Do not drop your students off until teachers are in their spots and you are at one of the drop-off spots. Also, drop them off in line. There is no parking unless you have an appointment. Kindly pay attention to the one-way directions. The Annex building is not for City Park students. They have programs that need the parking. • Instruction begins at 10:30. • Tardy bell is at 10:35. • Lunchtime will be on the same schedule. • ASP: yes, there will be ASP.

The 100th Day may have passed, and we may be all anxiously awaiting the weather call, but the 405 is still rocking the block with some great learning experiences!! From 101 Day PreK Dalmatians, to a powerful life lesson from Officer Chandler to some beautiful student art work, the 405 is PAWpping with Endless PAWSIBILITIES this week!

Our readers are up for PAWZ's January reading challenge!

PAWetry Highlight: Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As we prepare to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we’re taking time to reflect on his powerful message of hope, courage, service, and justice.

This week’s PAWetry Highlight celebrates the legacy of a leader who reminded the world that change begins with kindness, unity, and standing up for what is right—even when it’s hard.

We’re proud of our students for learning to use their voices through many tools to share what they’ve learned and what they believe in. 🌟

📚🕊️ “The time is always right to do what is right.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

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.

PAWZ is so excited that readers are taking part in his January reading challenge!
