Park Avenue Penguins and Families,

At Park Avenue, safety has always been our number one priority. We have designed safety and operational protocols to help assure the safety of all our students, gymnasts, parents, and staff members. In order to maintain social distancing, Park Avenue will have a limited number of spaces available in our new Park Avenue Academy Program.
Please take a moment to review our safety guidelines and protocols. It is important that you understand these so we can work together to assure your child(ren)’s safety and help facilitate their educational success!

As you know the current situation in our community is ever changing due to the spread of COVID-19. At Park Avenue Academy, we will all be learning and growing in this unchartered territory. It is going to require a level of patience from all people involved: students, parents and Park Avenue Academy instructors. We are really looking forward to being able to provide a new service to help our community. We still have spots available – register now and get in on the introductory rate 

Thank you for understanding!

Research has shown that short physical activity breaks in the classroom improved students’ behavior, increasing the effort they put into their activities as well as their ability to stay on task. Both students and teachers benefit from using unstructured breaks to reduce stress.
