Principal's Message
Hello Parsons Family,
Thank you for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week. Our PTO did an amazing job spoiling staff! A big thank you to Deb Meeks for leading her last year of TAW and going out with a bang! We also greatly enjoyed hosting Muffins with Mom and the Art Club this week.
Happy Mother's Day to all our mamas!
Sincerely,
Sarah Aherne

Parking Lot Updates
Our parking lot is both a drop off loop and a parking lot. Please drive slowly as parents are parking, families are walking students, and cars are following the driveline. There have been some close calls lately!
School Hours
Our school hours are from 8:38am-3:33 pm. Our school doors will open at 8:33 am. Our half day hours are 8:38 am-11:55 am. The first day of school is a half day and dismissal will be 11:55. Our front doors will open at 8:38 for students to enter the building. School dismissal is staggered so younger grades will come out first.

Visitors in the Building and Background Checks
Although we love to have visitors, we remain committed to your children’s safety. Students must enter the building themselves in the morning. Parents and guests must always check in the front office.
As we start to have volunteers in the classroom, please remember that you must have a background check prior to your volunteer date. You can fill out the form and bring a copy of your license to Ms. Veronica. Once approved, you may volunteer. We do background checks twice a year. If you have a felony, you may not volunteer for WatchDogs, field trips, or volunteer in the classroom.
Parsons Spiritwear
We have a new company for Parsons spirit wear this year. The great news is that you can order Parsons or Carlson gear throughout the year. They also have many sales and specials. Check out the link here and the flyer for the weekly ad below.
