Often, families have questions about their student or upcoming school events. While personal student questions should be directed to a child's teacher, sometimes parents raise questions where the answer might be helpful to the bigger Country Parkway community.
We created this page to answer those and other frequently asked questions!
Frequently asked questions, or those that could serve a broader audience, will be added to this page throughout the school year. If YOU have a question for the PTA, please email CountryPkwyPTA@gmail.com.

School Day - Start and End Time
Students need to be dropped off by 8:45 am. Buses expected arrival time is 8:45 am. Parents driving their child(ren) can drop off as early as 8:30 am.
The school day ends at 2:55 pm. Dismissal will begin at that time. Buses are expected to be released around 3:10 pm. There is not a guaranteed time that school staff will release buses as there are many factors that come into play with dismissal. Expect that there will be a delay in releasing buses during the first few weeks of school.
Peanut/Tree Nut Lunch or Snack
There are no restrictions on any peanut or tree nut products brought into the cafeteria.
If there is a child with a severe life threatening allergy, there are no Peanut and Tree nut products allowed to be consumed or distributed in the classroom - this includes snacks. Lunches are not eaten in the class, hence there is no restriction from bringing nut products in for lunch.
Will my child have snack during the school day?
Families should check with their individual teacher if there is a snack scheduled for the class and if there are any restrictions. Many classrooms, especially the older grades, do not have snack during the day.
Can my child get water during lunchtime?
Students should bring a personal/reusable water bottle to the cafeteria every day. Water cups are not available this year. Water bottles should be properly labeled with the child's name and classroom. They can be refilled at the bottle refilling station outside the cafeteria.
My child lost his/her ____! Where can I find it?
Kids are bound to lose an item or two during the school year. No worries! The lost and found is located in a nook across from the Health/Attendance Office. Please be sure to label items (i.e., lunch boxes) with your child's name and classroom.
