Park Elementary

Two of Parks very own Star ⭐️ teachers leading today’s professional training on campus for their fellow teachers ! SB13 requirements and Science Fair 2025!! Great job 👏 rockstars!!

Park Elementary Staff would like to wish all our parents, students, and community a very safe Halloween!!🎃

THIS HALLOWEEN, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:

Daylight Saving Time ends in just one week! Are you ready to "fall back" in the early hours on Sunday, November 2? 👀

The general idea is that this allows us all to use natural daylight better: moving clocks back 1 hour in the fall grants us more daylight during winter mornings. In the autumn, we set our clocks back one hour until Daylight Saving Time again in March.

Not everyone is a fan of this practice, though! In the U.S., exceptions to DST are Arizona (except for the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

El Paso ISD will be closed Monday, Jan. 15, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We will be back in class Tuesday, Jan. 16.

Due to the expected continuation of early morning below freezing temperatures, as a precautionary measure, El Paso ISD will have a two-hour delay for all district campuses and offices Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024. This decision is based on the safety and well-being of our students and staff considering multiple factors such as temperature, wind chill factor, students who walk or wait at bus stops, and road conditions. Furthermore, the delayed start allows our facilities team to address any potential heating system issues in our schools.

As a result, please note that all transportation and meal schedules will be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, all morning activities, including athletics and fine arts, are canceled. Morning access to Extended Day Learning Centers will not be available, but these services will be provided in the afternoon. Pre-K AM classes are canceled.

For CCTE students attending in the morning, please report to your home campuses, while afternoon CCTE classes will proceed as usual.

When students arrive for the delayed start, breakfast will be available at all campuses.

We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions throughout the week and keep you updated via email, text, and phone, so please stay tuned for any additional announcements. You can also check the district’s social media accounts for updates.
