PCK now has official school Instagram and Facebook pages. Join us on Instagram at pck_charter_school, and on Facebook at Parker Core Knowledge Charter School. You can also use the links on the homepage of our new website. These pages are trusted sources of information about school happenings.

We'll Get Festive In The Spring
Since we've already had so much fun this year with the pool party and the Fund Run, the PTA decided to postpone the Fall Festival and hopes to have a similar event later in the spring. We are excited to spread the fun throughout the year and look forward to a great event in 2022.

Spirit Night At Chick-fil-A
Join us next Thursday, September 23, from 3:00 - 10:00pm, for a Spirit Night at the Parker Chick-fil-A! Spirit nights let you enjoy a tasty dinner, meet other PCK families, and support our school. We get a portion of the night's proceeds, so be sure to mention PCK when ordering or include it in the comments section on the CFA app.

Milk Caps for Moola

We are once again taking part in Longmont Dairy's Milk Caps for Mooola program. The PTA receives 10 cents per cap you bring in! If your family uses Longmont Dairy, please send in your clean bottled products caps. There is a collection box near the front office at PCK.

Box Tops

Be sure to download the Box Tops app to your phone and scan your box tops to earn money for PCK! You can look up our school by the name Core Knowledge Charter School. This is an easy way to raise money for the school with products you already buy. Thanks to the app, you don't need to clip the box tops and send them in to school.

There is an important election on November 2nd that will decide on four new members of the Douglas County School District Board of Directors. This election will have a direct impact on our school. Our partners at the Colorado League of Charter Schools are hosting an hour-long on-line training to ensure you know what it means to be a charter school, how the DCSD Board of Directors and their decisions affect us, and the steps you need to take to be able to participate in the election. The same training will be offered on four unique dates and times. We encourage you to register by clicking on the date and time that work best for you.

Please be sure your child has an extra mask packed in his/her backpack. Masks often get lost, dirty, or broken, so having a spare one handy is very helpful for students. Thanks for your help!

The PCK Board of Directors approved an additional teacher work day on Friday, May 13. This day will allow our teachers to consider a full year of information when placing students in classrooms for the coming year. The calendar on the home page of our website has been updated to reflect this new work day.

This month our students are focusing on the character trait of "thoroughness: taking care of details and doing my best." When they are being thorough, students will plan their work, pay attention to details, make a list so they don't forget, finish what they start, and clean up along the way. You received a table tent in your Thursday Folder with discussion questions on thoroughness. These are great conversation starters to help your family explore this trait and why it is important at home as well as at school.

Congratulations to Quinn C., Sam D., and Taylor L. who were recognized in last Friday's assembly for demonstrating great character. Way to go, character leaders!

Following our character assembly, students enjoyed an action-packed pep rally to support our fall sports teams. PCK's Cub Scout Pack 369 arranged for a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol to be donated to our school and hung in the Sports Gym. The Scouts presented the flag to Mrs. Harth and Mr. Thompson in a special ceremony during the pep rally. Thank you, Scouts! This is a truly special gift to our school!
