🏒❤️💙 Jersey Day for Unity Week! 💙❤️🏒

Even our “rival” local hockey teams can come together for a little fun! The Kirkwood Stars players (students) took pictures with Dr. Hellwig in her St. Louis Rockets jersey, proving that a little friendly rivalry never gets in the way of school spirit, laughter, and unity!

Different jerseys, same community! ❤️💙

No excuse, in-person absentee voting is now open.

Voters will decide on Proposition P, the district’s proposed 46-cent operating tax levy. For the owner of a $400,000 home, the estimated increase would be approximately $7 a week.

Parkway has not asked for an operating tax increase in 20 years, and our tax rate remains among the lowest operating tax rates of all St. Louis County school districts.

Learn more about no-excuse, in-person absentee voting, and get details about polling places at www.parkwayschools.net/Prop-P.

When our Deputy Superintendent, Dr. Holman-Besse, visits Barretts, she doesn’t just stop by to say hello… she rolls up her sleeves and jumps right in! 🙌🍎

A HUGE thank you for spending time with us, connecting with our students and staff, and helping clean lunch tables. We are so grateful for leaders who are willing to step in, pitch in, and be part of the magic that happens in our schools every day!

That’s what leadership looks like! Thank you for being part of the Barretts family! 🐾✨

😂❤️ When your students love you SO much that even your lunch break isn’t safe! Who needs a quiet lunch when you have little besties who just can’t get enough of you?! 🥹😂

The love is real at Barretts… even when the teachers are just trying to eat! ❤️😂🍎
