This afternoon, during dismissal, smoke from food in a microwave prompted a safety check at City Park School. The Dalton Fire Department responded quickly, confirmed there was no danger, and all students and staff remained safe throughout the incident.
We are grateful for the swift response of our local fire department and remain committed to maintaining a safe environment and keeping our families informed. All afterschool activities and classes for the remainder of the week will continue as scheduled.

PAWS in his happy place! The first days of school have passed, a PAWSitive school culture is being created, devices have been distributed, specials classes have begun, great teaching and learning are happening, new relationships are being formed (shout out to Mr. Amado for the way he is already bonding with our patrons), and students are making their way to our library to explore their own interests through independent reading. It's a great day to be at the 405!







We’ve officially made it through the first days of school, and there's already so much to celebrate!
🎉 Check out this week’s newsletter to stay in the know about important dates, school news, and fun happenings around campus.

This week, one of our incredible second graders reminded us all of the power of compassion. With a heart full of love and creativity, he handmade and donated crosses to be delivered to residents at our local nursing home — spreading smiles and joy with each thoughtful gift.
As Aesop once wrote in The Lion and the Mouse, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
We are so proud of this young student for making a difference and showing us that even the smallest hands can do big things.

Books Are on the Block!
Thanks to the generosity of Books for Change, every Kindergarten student at our school received a brand-new book today to kick off the school year!
The hope of Books for Change was to place these books in the hands of our students during the first few weeks of school — sending a powerful message from day one: You are a reader!!
What a meaningful way to begin their reading journey! Let's inspire a lifelong love of books, one page at a time!
