Parent Frequently Asked Questions
Tues, May 6th: Art & Technology Showcase, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
2024/25 District Calendar
From the Principal's Office
- Ironton Art & Technology Showcase: Tuesday, May 6th; 6:00 - 8:00 pm - Come out to see all the wonderful art that students have been working on throughout the school year. All artwork will be displayed on the first floor of the building. Makerspace and art activities will be located in the Media Center and the first floor hallways.
- NEW Visitor Check-in System: We're excited to announce the implementation of a new visitor management system across the Parkland School District, designed to further enhance the safety and security of our students and staff. Effective immediately, all visitors will be asked to present a valid state-issued driver’s license or state-issued identification card upon entering our buildings. This simple step allows us to maintain a clear record of who is present and ensures a secure learning environment for everyone. Upon check-in at the main office, you'll receive a visitor badge to be worn during your time with us.
- 2025/26 STUDENT PLACEMENT: Our priority is to create the best possible learning environment for every child. To achieve this, we focus on composing classrooms based on a variety of factors and are unable to accommodate specific teacher requests. Parents have unique insights into your child's social, academic, emotional, and physical development. If you have any information you feel is crucial to your child's success, please share this by email with Mr. Holmes by May 15th. While we appreciate your input, requests for specific teachers cannot be honored.
- PARKLAND COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL - Please join the Parkland Community Advisory Council at their monthly meeting Thursday, April 10th at 7:00 PM. This meeting will take place at the Parkland Administration Center and the topic is "Publications and Media Resources" presented by Mrs. Nicole McGalla.
