Welcome to Park Village!

Welcome Park Village Families!

Dear Park Village Families and Friends,

 

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! I am so excited to continue as principal for this amazing community. We are all eager to carry on the tradition of excellence. Last year, we had many successes! We are embarked on our first year with sitewide implementation of  Leader in Me. We launched student leadership opportunities and had over 100 applicants. During this school year, we will continue to strengthen and expand our work with Leader In Me. This leadership program is based on the 7 habits of highly effective people. If you would like to learn more, visit www.leaderinme.org and plan on attending a “family night” to see how LiM can be utilized at home. It is our goal to provide the most relevant, equitable, inclusive, responsible, and ethical environment for ALL. The principles that will guide us with making decisions that best support students are as follows:

 

  • Everyone can be a leader
  • Everyone has genius
  • Change starts with me
  • Empower students to lead their own learning
  • Educators and families partner to develop the whole person

 

I highly encourage you to get involved with your child’s education.  One easy way to do this is to join our Park Village PTA or Foundation. Be sure to read our Park Village Voice, weekly newsletter, to stay in the know regarding school events, weekly highlights, and other relevant information.

 

The staff and I thank you for trusting us with your most precious possession, your

child(ren). We take their care, growth and well-being seriously. We look forward to

partnering with you for an eventful and successful school year in which we are all

inspired by the relentless pursuit of excellence for all!

 

In Partnership,

Amie Tillman - Principal

Transportation & Safety


Traffic: When entering our main parking lot, please pay attention to the flow of traffic. Families are asked to drop their students off at the gates at the front of school. Click here to view a map of the parking lot drop-off / pick-up traffic flow.


Bikes/E-bikes/Scooters/Skateboards: Students who elect to ride bicycles or scooters  (grades 3 and above) are responsible for providing their own helmet and locks to use in conjunction with our bike racks. Please note that we do not have any way to lock up skateboards and/or rollerblades, etc.; thus, we ask that students avoid skateboarding to and from campus as these items do not contribute to a safe environment inside classrooms. We also ask you to remind your child to walk their bike, scooter, or skateboards on the sidewalks on campus to prevent any accidents with students exiting vehicles in the drop off. Reminder: students operating a bicycle, e-bikes,  scooters,  skateboard, or using roller skates must legally wear a bicycle helmet.


Breakfast/Entering Campus: Students are welcome to enter the campus (at the side gate only) for breakfast beginning at 8:20am. At 8:30am breakfast service ends and students may continue to eat or line up for class by 8:43am. To ensure the safety of our campus, all gates will close at 8:45am.  Students arriving after 8:45 am will need to check in at the Front Office. For the safety of our students and staff, after the first day, families are asked to drop their students off at the gates 


Health Office: Students with known allergies or health conditions that require medication, must have a medical authorization signed by your child’s physician. Paperwork and medication may be brought to the Health Office on the first day of school.  All medication authorizations forms may be found on the PUSD website under Health Services. Please notify the health technician if your child has been casted due to a fracture or is recovering from a concussion.  Safety and wellness are our number one priority!


Attendance: Every day counts and students must be present to fully participate. Should your child need to be absent, please call our attendance hotline or send an email. To assist with attendance, please review the PUSD District Calendar and plan vacation and travel accordingly.
