3rd Grade Scavenger Hunt 2025
Dear Incoming 3rd Grade Parents,
We are so excited to welcome you and your children to the JFK family! Our team is working hard to ensure the building is ready and inviting for the first day of school.
We’re happy to invite you to our 3rd Grade Scavenger Hunt, scheduled for Thursday, August 21st, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. This is a fun and informal opportunity for you and your child to explore JFK together and become familiar with key areas in the building such as the art room, cafeterias, and more. You are welcome to arrive any time between 12:00 and 1:00 PM and complete the scavenger hunt at your own pace.
Please note that while the building is currently undergoing some scheduled maintenance, all work is expected to be completed by that date. If anything changes, I will be sure to update you.
Enjoy the rest of your summer—we can’t wait to see you soon!

Dear Future JFK Parents,
Thank you so much for attending 2nd grade orientation last night. It was wonderful to see you all there. If you weren’t able to attend, I attached last night’s presentation to this email. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
As we discussed last night, we are very excited to announce that Deer Park School District will be starting a dual language program beginning the 2024-2025 school year. The dual language program is only offered in 3rd grade for the 2024-2025 school year.
The class consists of 1/2 native English speakers and 1/2 native Spanish speakers. A bilingual certified classroom teacher teaches lessons in both English and Spanish. When a lesson is taught in English, the teacher will provide Spanish support. When a lesson is taught in Spanish, the teacher will provide English support.
The purpose of the dual language program is to: achieve academic success, promote bilingualism and biliteracy, and build multicultural competence & self esteem. Please click here for more information.
If you are interested in having your 3rd grade child participate in the dual language program, please complete this google form, by June 1st. Students that meet the criteria will be chosen using a lottery system. There are limited spots available.
