Attention PSD: Due to high levels of staff and student illness, and the resulting unfilled substitute teaching vacancies, the Parchment School District will be closed tomorrow, Friday December 10. This decision is being made in consultation with, and at the recommendation of Kalamazoo County Health Officer, Jim Rutherford. This affects all buildings/levels. This closure is in no way related to the closure at Parchment High School today. We encourage anyone who is interested in being a substitute teacher in our district to contact our administration office at 269-488-1050. We appreciate your continued trust, support and understanding as we continue to navigate these challenges.
