Parchment Middle School has 15 published authors! Ms. Hainer shared that students competed last school year in a mystery short story contest open to all middle and high schoolers in the country and 15 students were chosen to represent Parchment Middle School in the book "Unsolved Mysteries". Congratulations, Panthers!

The bond is on the ballot!
Why are we asking for a bond again in 2025? Because the needs are still there for our students' safety and comfort.

We are making great progress on the summer projects in our 3-year Facilities Improvement Plan! Parking lot repairs have started at most buildings, and lots will be accessible after the striping of the spaces is completed.

If there are cones in front of entrances or caution tape, we respectfully request that you DO NOT ENTER THESE AREAS so that we may allow them to cure properly and to minimize the need for future repairs.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to improve facilities in our district!
