Open House...Meet Your Teacher
Parsons’ Families,
We are very excited to begin the new school year. As seen thus far, the 2020 school year promises to be a year like no other. As we prepare for Open House and greeting our students and parents, I need to share with you some adjustments to how Open House will take place.
Although we would love to greet all of our families in person and give each of our students a hug, we must take precautionary measures to reduce risks. Therefore, “in person” Open House will only be available for parents and students new to Parsons. These adjustments are meant to reduce the number of people in the building at any given time and promote a safer environment for all. Through this experience, we hope to provide all the information needed for a successful opening of school. Cluster principals have collaborated to create a safer and more streamlined experience for the Peachtree Ridge Cluster Elementary Schools.
Here is what to expect:
IN PERSON OPEN HOUSE
Only students who are NEW to Parsons Elementary will come for “In Person” Open House on Thursday, August 6th.
Please refer to the table below for your assigned time. Assigned times will support social distancing and allow the teacher more opportunity to speak with you.
Please do not enter the classroom until the teacher opens the classroom door for the next scheduled time slot. This will reduce a large group gathering and ensure social distancing.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2020
Last Name Time
A-F 8:00 am to 9:00 am
G-L 9:00 am to 10:00 am
L-R 10:00 am to 11:00 am
S-Z 11:00 am to 12:00pm
All students and parents will be REQUIRED to wear face coverings (masks) when they enter the building.
Please bring a pen for your personal use.
Please utilize the hand sanitizing stations and avoid congregating in groups..
VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE
Returning students and parents will participate in a “Virtual” Open House on Friday, August 7th.
All new families may attend “Virtual” Open House if they choose to not attend “In Person”
Your child’s teacher will send you a welcome email of introduction on the afternoon of August 5th with the links to your assigned virtual time.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2020
Last Name Time
A-F 8:00 am to 8:30 am
G-L 9:00 am to 9:30 am
L-R 10:00 am to 10:30 am

The beginning of the school year is such an exciting time and we look forward to “seeing” each of you, virtually or in person, for Open House. If you have any questions, please contact us at 678-957-3050.

Visit the website to register online. If you’re not sure if your child will attend Parsons, visit the county's "School Look-up" online at GCPS SchoolLocator. Be careful, Zillow is not always correct!

New this year, much of the registration process, including the uploading of documents needed for registration, will be completed online. Most document attachments (PDF, JPG, DOC, PNG, etc.) are compatible. The file-size limit is 2 MB. Families that are unable to obtain the required immunization and/or screening documents due to the COVID-19 situation will be given additional time to obtain those documents, but should go ahead and begin the online registration process.

Contact our registrar, Raiya Troshin. She can even set up a video chat if needed. raiya.troshin@gcpsk12.org
