Dear Members of the Parkman Community,
On April 8, 2021, the Enfield Public Schools was notified that a member of our school community has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). The affected person has been instructed to remain home in self-isolation for 10 days and has been provided with additional instructions to follow prior to returning to school. Family members have also been instructed to self-quarantine and get tested.
The last day this person was in Parkman School was Tuesday April 6, 2021. Anyone who is considered a “close contact” with this person has been contacted or will be contacted by school or local health officials and provided with instructions on the appropriate steps to take.
COVID-19 is spread mainly via person-to-person contact through contaminated air droplets from coughing and sneezing by an infected person. As with controlling the spread of other viruses, we urge everyone to discuss the following preventive measures with your children and family members:
We are closely monitoring this situation and working with The North Central District Health Department. We will provide you with updates as we know more. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you - and stay well,
Christopher J. Drezek Superintendent of Schools

Good afternoon Parkman Families,
We are reaching out because we are concerned that many in-person learners have been using remote learning days for convenience and not because students are ill or need to quarantine. The purpose of this email is to clarify any misunderstandings regarding the use of remote learning days.
We ask that families who choose 4 day in person learning commit to this model for instructional consistency and planning purposes. Staying home for remote learning on scheduled "in school days" is only allowed for students who are sick or have to quarantine. Remote learning is not available to provide flexible learning schedules for students. Situations such as waking up late, missing the bus, having an appointment, or others along these lines are not adequate reasons for accessing lessons online.
If remote participation is due to illness or quarantine, please notify our school nurse (Nancy Netherwood,nnetherwood@enfieldschools.org). If your child is home because they are ill, please consider giving them the day to rest and get better, just as would happen during a normal school year.
We understand that some families may feel anxious about sending their children to school. Therefore, families can opt-out of in person learning at any time and go fully remote. We just ask that families do not switch back and forth between learning models.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Good afternoon Parkman Families,
This notification is important for families who drop their children off by car in the morning. To speed up the drop-off process, please make sure your child is packed and ready to exit the car by the time you approach the drop-off curb. We hope this will allow students to exit the car quickly and help us avoid traffic backup on Weymouth Road. For safety, please make sure children are exiting cars from the passenger side of the vehicle. Students can be dropped of at the parent drop-off curb between 8:25am and 8:40am (when staff are on duty). Students arriving after 8:40am must be signed in by a guardian, at the main entrance.
Thank you in advance for your support.

We will be asking students to draw, on a plain piece of 8.5 x 11 inch white paper, a picture that symbolizes one of the categories. We will choose a winning drawing for each category and the drawing will be added to the cookbook! The kids can work on their drawings during indoor recess. Have them add their name and grade number at the bottom of their drawing.
Those who are distance learning and want to submit a drawing please have your child draw their photo on plain white 8.5 x 11 inch paper, scan their photo in and email their drawing to me, Brigitte DeMaine, at EHParkmanPTO@gmail.com.
If more than 1 recipe is submitted for the same item, for example, chocolate chip cookies, we will use 1 recipe but will add the name of both contributors to the recipe.

Please make sure that all of your APPs (applications) & devices (iPads, laptops, etc.) used for distance learning are always #UpToDate
Similar to APP updates on your phones, the APPs we use for distance learning also require occasional updates. If you are not using the most #UpToDate versions of certain APPs, it can (on occasion) cause an issue with completing, or submitting, some schoolwork/assignments. *It's a good idea to check for updates regularly.
