School Toolbox provides direct shipping to home or to school. You are also welcome to purchase the supplies from any other store or vendor of your choosing. If you choose to use School Toolbox, please search AmPark 10x334 on their website: schooltoolbox.com Given the hardships of this past year, we have worked to absorb as much of the cost of supplies as possible as a school, as well as to include some supplies on the “wishlist” rather than the required list. We do not want school supplies to be a barrier or a burden for any family. Please provide what you can, and reach out should you need assistance. Summer Packets Reminder! Summer Packets will be sent via email with class assignments and important back to school information by August 23rd. Parent Coordinator Corner (AmPark loves you Niomi!) Hello AmPark Families! I hope you all are doing well and enjoying these beautiful summer days. I have been so blessed to be a part of a community that truly cares. A community that supports each other and encourages one another. In the past 8 years I have had the privilege to form beautiful connections with staff, parents, students and even some grammys and grandpas! This entire community has had a part in my journey in my growth as a professional and even in my personal life. The strength, resilience and love this community; no this family has shown makes me so proud to have been a part of all of it! My family and I have been through so much but we have made it through together. My family and I have accepted an amazing opportunity that will support and sustain us as a family. I say this with a heaviness in my heart, my last day as your Parent Coordinator will be the last week of August. To be able to have been AmParks Parent Coordinator has been such an honor. I am so grateful to you all for believing in me, working with me, being open with me and trusting me with your concerns and even success! I will always have you all in my heart! If you would like to reach out I will share my personal email. [email protected]. Thank you so much AmPark it's been an amazing experience <3 - Niomi  Comments are closed.
