Parsons Pirates Update

March 20, 2023

Message From the Principal

Dear Parsons Families,

We have five more days of learning before Spring Break. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to some rest and hopefully sun! Following the PTO meeting, some of our event dates were changed so please check out the important dates to make sure you can join in the fun! Exact times for the 5th grade graduation and clap out will be coming in the next few weeks.

Let's make it a great week!

Sincerely,

Sarah Aherne

PTO Nominations

A big thank you to Amy Cox (President), Michelle Corder (Vice President), and Amy Foster (Treasurer) who have served our PTO for many years. With graduating Parsons' students and new jobs, these ladies have chosen to step down for next year. We are looking for a new President, VP, and Treasurer. Amy Cox and Amy Foster will still be around to help anyone transition into their new role. If you are interested, please fill out the nomination form!

Social Media

The Guidance Center is holding a FREE live screening documentary and LIVE Q&A at Crystal Gardens on March 21st, talking about the pros and cons of social media/technology. The movie is appropriate for any age, but recommended for 5th graders and up. Pizza, beverages, and popcorn are included. I have attached the flyer and trailer below if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qVi63wG2OM

It has been brought to our attention that there is a 5th grade group chat that is very large and active after school. While we cannot control social media after school, recently some drama that is occurring in this chat is carrying over into the school day. Recently, some of the 5th grade teachers have had to have discussions with students and solve issues at school. Please have conversations with your student about their social media and technology use. We encourage you to ask questions about this group chat and be aware of your child's social media.
