A Note from the Office

Dear Parmenter Families,


It’s hard to believe how quickly March is moving along — we are certainly in a busy and exciting time of year!

We want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who helped make last week's VIP Dance such a wonderful event! A huge shout-out to Danielle Donovan, Lauren Kelleher, and their amazing team of volunteers who worked so hard to bring this special night to life. We were so proud of our students and didn’t realize we had so many incredible dancers—of all ages! It was a night to remember.

As we head into spring, there are many important events coming up. Families of students in grades 3-5 should take note of the MCAS testing dates listed below. Please help us by ensuring students are well-rested and ready to show all they’ve learned this year.

Also, a reminder that Tuesday, March 18 is an early release day.

Finally, thank you to all the families who attended parent-teacher conferences or reached out to teachers recently. These conversations and connections are so important to our partnership and have a real impact on your child’s success. When home and school work together, great things happen for kids!

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!


Be well,

Evan Chelman, Principal
