Hello Parker Road Village,
It's an honor to serve you again this year as your principal. We have an amazing partnership and I know we will continue to thrive for our Parker Road Scholars. Our learning community is filled with opportunities for children to grow emotionally, academically, and socially. We do this all while trying to maintain a level of fun and excitement.
Our primary building is where we build foundational building blocks for future learning. We understand the importance of parents as a child's first teacher. We value the partnership between home and school and realize that we cannot do the work alone to teach children to read, learn mathematical concepts, or develop social skills. A great deal of our work is creating an environment where children learn to get along with one another and follow rules. Students learn how to advocate for themselves and problem-solve. Both are important life skills.
We are working diligently to create a MODEL Primary school in the Ferguson-Florissant School District. We are striving to meet these characteristics at Parker Road Primary School. With your support, we can achieve this goal.
- The attitude of all staff members is positive and teams work together.
- The school is student-centered in all decision-making.
- Faculty members are involved and empowered to do their best work.
- Teamwork is a cornerstone philosophy for both students and staff.
- Communication and feedback is honest and frequent.
- Parents are involved in the school and supportive of its efforts.
- High expectations exist for the school, teachers, and students.
- Students want to be there.
- A fair and effective discipline program exists.
- Strong and effective leadership exists.
- Individualized instruction, with a variety of instructional techniques, is evident in classrooms.
- Achievement scores close the gap and consistently increase each year with an upward trend.
Let's make this year the best year ever!
Your Servant Leader,
Dr. Malinda Ice
