Welcome to Walnut Park

Meet the Staff Night  Mark your calendar for our annual “Pie Night” on Wednesday, September 20 (6:00 – 7:30 pm) when parents, students, and staff meet on a social basis over coffee and pie and ice cream.  The event is informal and helps to establish a comfortable communication bridge between home and teacher.

Teachers will be in the gym for the early part of the evening and then in their classrooms, so you will have opportunity to meet them socially, as well as to visit your child’s classroom to see the learning environment.  Please read our September 15th newsletter for full details.

SCHOOL PARKING LOT – PICKING UP and DROPPING STUDENTS OFF

Please comply with the “no parking” signs along the sidewalk in the drop-off zone.   In the interest of safety and to minimize congestion in our parking lot, please only stop briefly to pick up or let your children off. If you need to leave your vehicle, we request you make use of our parking lot. Thank-you for your help with this!

E-mail Addresses  The school is required to have a current e-mail address on file for all Walnut Park families.  If you haven’t yet given us an e-mail address or if your e-mail address has changed, please let us know at This email address is being protected from spambots.
