There will be a slight adjustment to the school start and end times at Rosa Parks Elementary this fall. Please plan accordingly!


Wildcat Families…we need your help! Your child does not need to be in the Dual Immersion program to host an intern! You don’t even need to know Spanish😊. Please consider this opportunity below. I know we have the most amazing families at Rosa Parks!
Thanks-
Kiersta Machacek
We are looking for one more Rosa Parks family to host an intern this year. The intern we are looking to place is a female intern from El Salvador. Her personality lights up a room. She is upbeat, easy to talk with, sweet and accommodating. She loves to ride bike, play baseball/softball, enjoys jogging, family time, listening to music and watching movies in her free time. Does this sound like your family? Please reach out to Kelly and Cheran, the intern coordinators, with questions. If this is something you are considering at all, please reach out to us by Wednesday, June 29th. Thank you.

“Hosting an intern was such an enriching experience. We are still in communication with our intern since she went back home. She became another member of our family and jumped in on our crazy." -Kelly
