Dear Parmenter Families,

Spring has officially arrived, and with it comes a season full of learning and exciting experiences for our students! As we move into this busy time of year, we look forward to upcoming field trips, enrichment opportunities with High Touch High Tech, and visits from the fire department to teach students about safety.

For our grades 3-5 families, MCAS testing is quickly approaching. Please check the schedule below and help ensure your child is well-rested and ready to do their best!

Thank you for your continued support—we’re looking forward to a great spring filled with meaningful learning and memorable moments!

Be well,

Evan Chelman, Principal

The 5th Grade Celebration Committee has begun to plan an awesome celebration for our 5th grade class! SAVE THE DATE: Wednesday June 11th- 5th Grade Celebration! (rain date- June 10th)

If you are a 5th grade parent, please email Amy Papagno at papagnoa@gmail.com. We are putting together an email chain of 5th grade parents. This is where you will receive information about the event- lunch orders, sweatshirt orders, t-shirt orders, volunteering the day of the event... you do not want to miss this information! Please email Amy at your earliest convenience!

Our current 5th graders will be the last class to graduate from Parmenter! Let's make it the best celebration yet! The current estimated cost per student is approximately $150. Our first big fundraising initiative is direct donations from our 5th grade families. If you are able, please use the QR code below, or the flyer in your 5th grader's folder to make a donation. Donations are completely voluntary, but we appreciate the help to make this a great celebration for our 5th graders! THANK YOU!
