PSD families and staff, we are excited to announce our partnership with Care Solace!
Care Solace is a free and confidential coordination service from Parchment School District, available to support you! If you or a family member needs assistance with mental health or substance use, Care Solace can help regardless of insurance status. They work with all major providers including Medicaid and Medicare.
Our support for students and families doesn’t stop after the regular school year, but it can be hard to find care when school is not in session. We remain committed to providing assistance throughout the summer and especially to those in the summer school program. Care Solace staff aim to help students excel academically, emotionally, and socially.
Contact them at 888-515-0595 or visit caresolace.com/parchmentschools for confidential support.

It's time to bring back those devices! Chromebook collection helps us to check all devices to keep them in good working order for the following school year.
Middle School: Student devices that remained at school will be collected next week. If your student brought their device home, it must be returned to the school by May 31st!
High School: Students can begin turning in their devices to the library on June 3rd if they are not needed for exams. Cleaning stations will be available and devices will be inventoried for damages. (Check with your teacher if you need your Chromebook to take the exam!)
All devices and chargers are due back to the building by June 6th, 2024. Students enrolled in summer school will have their device checked to ensure they have a working computer for this summer.
Calendar Reminder: Memorial day is Monday, May 27th and all school buildings will be closed in observance of the day.

Today, May 3rd, is School Lunch Hero Day! We can't say thank you enough to our amazing food service staff who do more than provide healthy, great meals to students. The connections they make mean so much to our Panthers!
Ms. Looper's English 1 students earned a grant to see the Broadway version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" at Devos Performace Hall in Grand Rapids.
Thanks to Ms. Looper's letter writing, students were able to have an experience of a lifetime. One student shared, "We will never forget that whole experience, and when I talk about high school when I'm older, it's definitely going to be the first story I'm going to tell. The play was great."
Thank you to our awesome building principals!
