Middle School Announcements
Tours for Grandparents of Middle Schoolers
THURSDAY 3/5 (9:15-10:15am): Are you the grandparent of a Park middle school student? If so, we’d love to have you for tours with our Middle School Principal, Josh Wolf, and our Middle School Dean of Students, Shri Puri. Come meet our Middle School Leadership Team and learn more about what makes a Park School education so exceptional. Plus we’ll even give you a few minutes in your grandchild’s classroom to sneak a peek on what they’re learning and see them in action! Please RSVP here if you plan to attend. NOTE: We will cap attendance at the first 25 registrants due to space limitations in the middle school classrooms. And if you attended these tours in the fall, please reserve space for new attendees – as this will be the exact same program content as the fall.
*PARK PARENTS: You are welcome to register your middle school student’s grandparent(s) on their behalf – please just let us know the best way to communicate with them (i.e. phone, email, text) prior to the event.
