Please go into Eduphoria and sign all documents for this year. If they are not signed by Friday, all of your documents will be forced signed.

I will send out the EOY Check Out List on Monday.

I still have not received our allocations for next year. So, as far as next year's map, it is not ready. However, I am for sure going to put 5th-grade classes together for next year. This means that there will be quite a bit of movement. I would plan on packing as much stuff as possible.

Final signatures must be completed before you leave work on your last day.

Our 5th graders have been hard at work on a 3D animal project in math class! They’ve been designing animals and calculating the area and volume of different parts like the body and head. On Monday, May 19th, we’re inviting all grade levels and parents to come see their awesome work! Check out the schedule below for the times everyone can stop by.

3rd grade: 1:15pm

Kindergarten: 1:30pm

1st grade: 1:45pm

2nd grade: 2:00pm

4th grade: 2:15pm

Families: 2:30pm

We are going to wrap up our MTSS meetings this week. We will complete these during your conference on the following days. We will meet in my office. Please be sure you are prepared with the following:

• BOY, MOY, EOY MAP scores
• EOY DRA
• If they are to continue with Tier 3 for next year

3rd Grade: Thursday @ 12:15

4th Grade: Thursday @ 1:25

5th Grade: Thursday @ 3:00

We will have awards on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I tried to keep specials the same as much as possible, but there are some changes, and your schedule may be different each day as far as a conference. The purpose of doing this is to ensure that everyone has a conference and lunch each day.

If you see something that doesn't make sense, please let me know! I have added the schedule to a tab on the Master Schedule document, which is linked HERE.

Please complete THIS FORM if you have a personal children's awards ceremony. We will make sure you have coverage to see your baby :)

• Make sure we have a good pace.
• Students will walk past you. Wilkins will be standing in the middle of the stage and will hand shake and pose for a picture with the student.
• We will have a dot where the students will stand
• We will stand for a second and try to find the family of the student so we can ensure they can get their picture.
• After getting their award, students will walk down the stage and out the other side doors, walk down the Texas Hall and back into the music room to wait for the ceremony to be completed. (Once your class is done, you are welcome to go back to your classroom)

• If your class has Music Tuesday-Thursday between 8:45 and 11:00, you will take your students to PE.
• Please park in the field closest to the gym on these days.
• Students will eat breakfast in your classrooms on Tuesday-Thursday.

On May 27, we will be celebrating with the rest of the district at the End of the Year Celebration! The celebration will start at 9:00 at the PAC. We will be sitting in the same section as we have before!

Transportation will be providing buses for all of us to ride. Everyone is expected to ride the bus over there. I will let you know as we get closer the time of when we will be leaving Parmley!

Let's be sure to show our Parmley Spirit!

We will do our own End of Year Awards at 2:00 on May 27! Don't forget, we are celebrating our AMAZING ladies who are retiring at 3:00 on the 27!

I am excited to share with you the 2025 summer professional development opportunities for Willis ISD instructional staff. Explore the attached flyer to find session information, registration links, and exchange day guidelines. Some professional development events have special circumstances or additional requirements for registration. Please refer to the course description in the registration informational link, or Eduphoria, to make sure all steps for attending the event are completed. This is not a comprehensive list of all the opportunities for professional development that are available for teachers. Please see exchange day guidelines, or discuss with campus administration, for other opportunities that may apply.

Here are the Guidelines!

This year, we will be focusing on systems, systems, systems!! I want to make sure our staff has everything they need to be successful. We have created the Parmley Playbook, where you will have all the tools, resources, expectations, documents, etc., at the tip of your fingers! This is a working document that is ever-changing. The vision for this document is for you to add it to your Bookmark Bar and have easy access to these tools. As we move through the year, if you are frequently using something and would like to see if on the Parmley Playbook, Content Leaders will have access to edit the document to add for the school. 😁

Without further ado... I present to you... YOUR Parmley Playbook!!!

Post attendance in TEAMS

• Posting window open from 9:50-10:10
• If missed they will need to print their roster and take attendance on paper
• Sign and date in black or blue pen and send to front office

As a reminder, this is what our procedure is for student birthdays:

At Parmley, we love to acknowledge our students' birthdays and provide them with a celebration from the staff. We know that your child's special day is important, and we ask that if you choose to send something, it is something that is only a prepackaged, store-bought treat that your student can carry and take to class. These items will need to be sent home with their peers in their backpacks at the end of the day.

We will not be doing cupcake delivery or any special decorations such as balloons or gifts. Please do not send cookies or cupcakes that could be crushed in backpacks when sent home.
