PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Welcome to Parkallen School! I am so thrilled to be part of such a vibrant and dynamic school community. Parkallen School is a true community school. It is the hub of the Parkallen and Allendale communities and for our Chinese Bilingual and Opportunity Programs which include families from across south Edmonton.
I believe that having high quality, nurturing and passionate Teachers, Educational Assistants and Support Staff is essential to a school's success. We truly operate as a team to provide your children with "high quality teachers, and a high quality classroom environment, each and every day." (Superintendent Darrel Robertson)
Community engagement and involvement in the school are so important to the school. We regularly consult with our community partners and encourage community engagement in the curriculum and learning programmes.
If you have children here... we are so thankful you have chosen Parkallen School. We will look forward to working with them each day. If you don't yet have children here, Parkallen is absolutely a welcoming environment where we all work toward "fostering engaged, lifelong learners who will have a positive impact on the world."
Wishing everyone a wonderful school year!
Sincerely,
Tracy Tucker, M.Ed.
