Virtual Move Up Day
Virtual Move Up Day was such a success! I know the kiddos and the teachers enjoyed being able to connect for the first time as a class. This is a special tradition at Parsons Elementary and we were not going to let the Corona Virus stop us. Move Up Day is just the beginning of a year long school journey and we all know how important it is for our kiddos to connect with one another and with their teacher.
Yearbooks arrived today!
If you are unable to pick up your child's yearbook at the scheduled time, PTA will ensure your student receives their yearbook when they return to school in August.
