Parsons Pirates Update

Thank you so much for all of your support this week as staff took care of Mrs. Linge and our students. We appreciate all the love. It takes a village and our village showed up!

Sincerely,

Sarah Aherne

It's that time of year! Please read this letter regarding classroom placements for this year. After reading the letter, please fill out this form. The form will close May 12. We appreciate your input!

Do you need more Parsons Spirit Wear? Look no further! Please check out the flyer and link to order new spirit wear for spring! Orders are due by April 23rd!

Run Club started last week and what a perfect week it was!

Just a reminder...

Our runs/walks are weather dependent. If it is raining/snowing, we will NOT be running. We will send out a cancellation post by 7:30 AM of that day to inform you of a cancellation.

All students need to arrive at 8:00 AM. Please have your child dress for the weather-layers are good! Your child must be in SOCKS and TENNIS/GYM SHOES. Your child should have a water bottle with his/her name on it and a quick snack to eat after (ex: crackers, a banana, an apple.). We will cool down for a few minutes before lining up for the start of school. A snack and water is very important to refuel before the start of the day.

Super Important-No Apple Watches or Phones in testing sessions per Michigan Department of Education Rules. Either do not have your child wear them the day of the test or know that watches and phones will be placed in a secure location during the test.

Charge your Chromebooks!
