Parmenter Press

Dear Parmenter Families,

We’ve wrapped up MCAS for the year—great job to all of our students and staff for their hard work and focus!

We're also excited to welcome the Library Summer Reading Hype Tour this week—see below for details on how to sign up for a library card and get your child set for a summer of reading fun!

Fun Run sign-ups are now open! Don’t forget to check out the many volunteer opportunities for both the Fun Run and our upcoming Parmenter Picnic—we can’t do it without you!

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who helped make our Memorial Day Celebration so special. Whether you joined us in person or watched online, your support helped us honor this important tradition in a meaningful way.

As we head into the long weekend, we encourage all families to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day—to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

Be well,

Evan Chelman, Principal

Memorial Day Celebration – Thank You!

Our final Parmenter Memorial Day Celebration was truly special. Our students performed beautifully, and it was clear how much time and care our staff put into preparing them. We were honored to welcome our veterans and their families, and with over 1,000 views already on YouTube, it’s clear we reached even more of our community than we might have in person. Thank you to everyone—staff, families, and students—for your flexibility, support, and dedication to keeping this tradition meaningful.

Transportation Registration for the 2025-26 School Year will open on April 29, 2025. More information on how to register will be posted to the website and emailed to families when registration opens.
