Message from Dr. Moore
Hello Families!!
This year has FLOWN by!! What an amazing year of growth for all of us!
As we wind down to the end, please remember how important attendance is for all students! We have started an attendance initiative which includes weekly prizes for perfect attendance and classroom prizes for perfect attendance! Please help us by helping get students to school by 8:25am EVERYDAY and leave them in school until 3:40pm!
We need your input! Please complete this brief survey about our parent involvement at Parmley!
Here is the link: https://forms.gle/cr9d9ebsZvQ46pGr9
If you would prefer a paper copy, there should be one in your child's Tuesday folder!
New Student Enrollment will be different this year! If you know of families trying to enroll at Parmley or anywhere in Willis, please have them complete the online enrollment paperwork. They can call the school to set an appointment! We will be taking appointments now through May 29th. We'll start again in mid July! Dates coming soon!
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
Thank you,
Kelley Moore, Principal
Susan Fossler, Assistant Principal
Grace Smith, Counselor
School Supply Drive
One of our wonderful parents is starting a school supply drive! She is collecting school supplies and backpacks for kids at Parmley who may be in need of supplies! If you would like to donate supplies or backpacks, you can send them to the school where Ms. White will collect them. You can also email Mindy White at mindylwhite@yahoo.com for more information or to offer your help!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Ms. White!
Thank you!

STAAR Reminders
Please remember we truly believe our kids are more than a test, but we also know the importance this test plays in their lives and for our school. Here are a few testing reminders to prepare for the day of the test:
No cell phones
Go to bed on time
Eat a healthy breakfast
Be on time for school
Rest the night(s) before testing
Practice relaxation skills
The campus will be completely closed to visitors for those two days. Please keep that in mind!
As always, we believe in each of our students, and we know they will do their absolute best! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

REMINDER ABOUT TRANSPORTATION CHANGES
REMINDERS:
All transportation changes MUST be called in by 2:00pm or they will not be permitted.
Any calls for change in transportation after 2:00pm will not be allowed unless it is an emergency. Please make note of this for future transportation changes!
Early Release will only be allowed until 3:00pm. After 3:00pm, the child will have to go home on their normal routine.
Dismissal:
If your child will be going home a different way, please let the FRONT OFFICE and your child's teacher know right away. Telling the teacher is wonderful, but sometimes they can't check their email until it is after school, so your best option is always the main front office.
If messages are not cleared or given in time, please know the teachers are trained to send kids home their regular way unless told otherwise by administration. We CANNOT take a child's word for it when it comes to leaving school safely.
Thank you!
Dr. Moore and the Entire Front Office Staff
Technology Tips from Williams, the Tech Coach
Reflex Math / myON
Does your student need something educational to do at home? Your student can use Reflex Math to practice their math fact fluency and myON to read books.
Reflex Math can be accessed at reflexmath.com for computers and Android devices. For Apple devices, the app "Reflex Student" can be downloaded. myON should only be accessed at myon.com as the myON app isn't reliable for either Android or Apple.
If your student is unable to log in, email trwilliams@willisisd.org. I usually respond within 24 to 48 hours.
Clinic Information
Just a friendly reminder: if your child has vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, they cannot come to school until they are symptom free WITHOUT medication for 24 hours.....This is in accordance with Texas Administrative Code, Rule 97.7.
Please send Kinder and 1st grade students with an extra pair of clothes just in case of those unforeseen accidents! We have some clothes in the clinic, but we don't always have the right sizes!
District Attendance Policy
I'm super excited to announce that our attendance is already up from last year! Way to go, Wildkats!!
I would like to ask you all to please remember that we use every minute of our instructional day, so we really need students here all day.
Please note that school starts at 8:25am and ends at 3:40pm.
Please limit early checkouts to party dates and/or emergency appointments.
We are conducting regular residency checks to ensure our students are at school regularly. If we notice several absences, we will be conducting home visits and setting up appointments to complete an attendance contract. It is imperative students are in school EVERYDAY, ALL DAY!
Please remember Attendance counts!
