Cheetah Families,

MONDAY, JANUARY 20TH IS A DISTRICT HOLIDAY- Enjoy the 3 day weekend and we will see you on Tuesday, January 21st!

To clarify the guidelines for morning arrival, we follow the KISD outdoor weather policy. If the wind chill or actual temperature is below 32 degrees, students can enter the building at 7:30 and wait in the cafeteria until 7:40 when classrooms open. If the wind chill or actual temperature is 32 degrees or higher, students are welcomed into the building at 7:40. Students eating breakfast at school may enter at 7:30.

If you don't already follow Park Glen Elementary School's Facebook page, check it out for highlights of all the great things our students and teachers are doing!

A reminder about outside food: So that our teachers/nurse can check for any potential allergens, we can only accept store-bought food with an ingredient label. Unfortunately, a bakery/donut shop does not meet this requirement. Any food items brought without an ingredient list will be sent back home unopened. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work together to keep our students safe.

Park Glen PTA is VERY EXCITED to partner with The Dallas Opera in January 2025!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Park Glen Elementary School was one of only a few schools in the entire DFW Metroplex to be selected for their “Opera in a Suitcase” educational program - Three Little Pigs Workshop & Performance!!! 🐷🐷🐷🎶🎹

What is it??

It is a 2-Day FREE event/program, based around the famous children’s fairy tale, The Three Little Pigs!!!

On Day 1, students work with Teaching Artists to learn the basics of opera through an interactive workshop. Art supplies will be provided by The Dallas Opera.

On Day 2, students, faculty, staff and parents enjoy a FREE live performance of the children’s opera, Mozart’s “The Three Little Pigs.” It is the same fully staged production that they do at the Winspear Opera House…we have the honor of seeing it at PGE….The artists will be in full costume, hair and makeup!!!

We will literally be rolling out the red carpet for Day 2….so make sure you dress to impress!!! 💃🕺🏻📸

A light reception and PTA Reflections Award Ceremony will follow the show!! 🖼️🎨🏆🏅
