When our Deputy Superintendent, Dr. Holman-Besse, visits Barretts, she doesn’t just stop by to say hello… she rolls up her sleeves and jumps right in! 🙌🍎

A HUGE thank you for spending time with us, connecting with our students and staff, and helping clean lunch tables. We are so grateful for leaders who are willing to step in, pitch in, and be part of the magic that happens in our schools every day!

That’s what leadership looks like! Thank you for being part of the Barretts family! 🐾✨

😂❤️ When your students love you SO much that even your lunch break isn’t safe! Who needs a quiet lunch when you have little besties who just can’t get enough of you?! 🥹😂

The love is real at Barretts… even when the teachers are just trying to eat! ❤️😂🍎

Prop P: Are you registered to vote? 🗳️

The Parkway School District is asking voters to consider Proposition P, a proposal that will sustain the teachers, programs, and student experiences that have made our schools a source of community pride for generations.

The deadline to register to vote in the November 3 election in St. Louis County is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

If you or someone in your household still needs to register to vote, you can find details at www.parkwayschools.net/Prop-P.

PROP P: We know how proud the community is of our schools, teachers, and students. Generations of successful graduates have come through Parkway in the past 70-plus years.

Today, the cost of operating a school district continues to rise, and we face a growing gap between expenses and funding. Over the past two years, we’ve reduced our budget by $15.4 million and met with residents from across the district to ask how we should respond to this long-term financial challenge.

Proposition P on the November ballot would provide stable funding for teachers and staff, student programs, safety, and classroom resources.

We want to make sure you have all of the information you need to make a decision by November 3, so we encourage you to learn more about Prop P at parkwayschools.net.

A little gender reveal fun with our 3rd grade teachers and some very special students from last year! 💕💙

We were SO lucky to have our 4th graders join in on the fun and help make this sweet surprise even more special!

Congratulations to Mrs. Repp, who is having a BOY! 💙 And congratulations to Mrs. Showalter, who is having a GIRL! 💗

Our Barretts family is growing, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate these sweet new additions!
