A Message from Proud Principal, Laura Clark
I have to say it does not seem like we are in the second week of school. Our students have settled right in with their classroom routines and procedures. Walking in and out of classrooms this week you would think they've been in school for months. This just goes to say we have the BEST teachers and students. Teaching and Learning is the priority. Parsons is one of the highest achieving schools in our district, and state, and we ALL play a role in our school's success.
I can't wait to see everyone at Curriculum Night next week!
Proud Principal,
Mrs. Clark
Introducing Our New Assistant Principal, Mrs. Sheri Tolar
Curriculum Night
Curriculum Night
There will not be supervision for students on this night so if your child attends this event with you they will need to stay in the classroom with you during the presentation.
I truly believe our school is one of the BEST in the district and state because of the united commitment we have to education. Putting your child's education first, is KEY!

School Messenger Update (Texting)
At this time, please ensure we have an email address on file that you regularly check. If you have a change of email or need to add add an email address, please complete this form and return to school. You will need to show photo ID to make the change to your Parent Portal information.
We will use S'More (weekly eNews), email, our school website, eClass, Class DoJo, weekly teacher newsletters, and our school marquis as ways to communicate.
Please know the district is working diligently to find a solution, and we hope to have some alternate avenues soon for quick communications like text messaging.
Afternoon Transportation
Walkers
We appreciate your support in ensuring that ALL students get home safe and follow our dismissal procedures.
Buses
If your child is not a bus rider, we encourage you to consider this mode of transportation. It's safe, reliable, and timely :-)
Car Riders
Parents- please do not get out of your car in the car rider lanes.
