2025-26 School Year
Welcome from the Principal

Green Park Families,

Welcome back to all our returning Panthers, and a warm, heartfelt welcome to our new and future Panthers joining us for the 2025–2026 school year! Whether you’re stepping into Green Park for the very first time or returning for another year of learning and growing, we are so excited to have you as part of our Panther family.

As a former Green Park student myself, it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal. This school holds a special place in my heart, and I am deeply committed to ensuring that every child who walks through our doors feels supported, challenged, and celebrated. At Green Park, we live by the belief that once a Panther, always a Panther—a community and connection that lasts a lifetime.

We’re also proud to share an incredible achievement from the end of last school year: Green Park was recognized by the Washington State School Recognition Program for our performance during the 2023–2024 school year in closing the gap. This honor placed us among only 16% of schools statewide to receive this recognition—a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, and families.

As we begin this new school year, we look forward to building on our successes, embracing new challenges, and continuing to work together to ensure every student reaches their fullest potential. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your belief in our mission.

Here’s to another amazing year ahead—Go Panthers!

Warm regards,
Cesar C. Hernandez
Principal, Green Park Elementary
