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.

December is Universal Human Rights month, a time for people to join together and stand up for the rights and dignity of all individuals. To learn more visit: https://www.send2press.com/wire/human-rights-day-2021-and-the-role-of-education-in-achieving-rights-for-all/

We have extended the deadline for donations to the holiday dinner until Tuesday, December 14th! We are very short of our goal of providing enough dinners for the families in need, if you can contribute, please send donations to the high school office. #weareparchment

Calendar Change: Our PELC program will be closing during winter break this year. We will be closed December 20th to January 3rd. We hope that our littlest Panthers enjoy their break and apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

This updated Thanksgiving week schedule includes Parchment Innovation Center which will still be holding regular classes on both Monday and Tuesday next week.

It's almost Thanksgiving! Which means our calendar gets a bit confusing for each building. Please reach out to your building if you have any questions and elementary parents, don't forget about conferences!

Parchment Middle School will be online today and tomorrow, November 4th and 5th, due to high number of staff illness. Students, please log in to your classes on time for attendance, parents please see your email for further details. #weareparchment
October is the month for fall parent-teacher conferences! Look for more information to come from your building or check the district calendar for dates.
