Parsons Pirate Update
June 2nd, 2025
Principal's Message
Hello Parsons Family,
A big thank you to the PTO for all of their support this year. We finished the week strong with our annual Bike to School. We had 89 students ride their bikes to school on the bike train. Thank you to our parent volunteers and the Gibraltar Police Department for their help! Donuts with Dad was also a fun community event! As we enter out last full week of school, let's have fun, be safe, and enjoy these moments together.
Sincerely,
Sarah Aherne

Parking Lot Updates
Please remind your student that arrival and dismissal are not times for horseplay! Students should not be playing tag, pulling branches off trees, or genuinely being unsafe. Safety is our utmost priority.

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.
