Parkwood Celebrates! 

We have a lot to celebrate at Parkwood this month!  On September 14, 2009, the

Business Advisory Council Leadership Awards were presented to honor principals and

their leadership teams for schools’ progress.  State Superintendent June Atkinson,

Dr. Carl Harris, and Minni Forte-Brown (DPS Board of Education Chair) presented

Parkwood with the Leadership Excellence Award for achieving the highest

percentage of Scorecard Growth Scores for elementary schools, and the Leadership

Improvement Award for being one of the three schools that made the most

improvement in meeting goals for one year to the next.  Parkwood received $2,000 from

the Business Advisory Council to fund teachers’ professional development.  We are

proud of the work teachers, students, parent/guardians, and our community has done

to support us in meeting our goals.  Continue to WATCH US GROW!!
