As the winter break approaches, we invite you to take a moment to slow down, recharge, and embrace the peace this season can bring.
The holidays are often filled with joy and connection, but they can also bring challenges—whether it’s missing a loved one, juggling holiday preparations, or managing the pressures of the season. While each of us celebrates in our own way, it’s important to acknowledge all feelings that may arise and remember it’s okay to ask for support when needed.
Parchment School District has partnered with Care Solace to help support the well-being of our community. Whether you or a family member need support with mental health or substance use, Care Solace can connect you to care options that meet your needs—quickly, confidentially, and at no cost to you.
How to Access Support:

Happy Veterans Day! We honor the brave U.S. military members who have served and upheld our values.
Veterans and their families face unique challenges during active service. They may endure long separations, frequent relocations, or experience anxiety while their loved ones are in harm’s way. Transitioning to civilian life can be tough, and those affected by trauma might need professional support to heal. As a school community, we must stand by our veterans and their families.
If you or someone you know needs support, Care Solace is a complimentary service for the Parchment School District community. Find a mental health provider by contacting #CareSolace at 888-515-0595 or www.caresolace.com/parchmentschools.
