Perry Parent News Letter
I am writing to you my final News from the Nest (Parent News Letter) for this school year 2023-2024, and I am feeling all the emotions of closing another school year and closing my career. I also am experiencng the emotions for students, staff, and parents who are closing out their time at Perry. It feels really good knowing we're all in this together and we are supporting and celebrating each other all the way through. Our Perry community is truly amazing! I look forward to experiencing the month of May 2024 with you all.
We have 3 big events coming up for the end of the year:
- Field Day - Friday 5/17
- End of Year Parties - 5/20
- End of Year Awards :
- Pre K and Kinder - Tuesday 5/21

- 3rd and 4th Grades - Thursday 5/23
Please fill out this form if you are planning on attending any of the End of Year Events. This form will expire at midnight on Wednesday, May 15th.
MISD requires everyone who attends a campus event to complete and pass a background check prior to attending. Background checks can take up to a week to be approved.
You must be atleast 21 years old or 4 years old and younger (cannot be school aged.) However, 4 years old and younger kids are not permitted to the End of Year Parties.
If we do not have a copy of your driver's license saved in Raptor we will need you to stop into the office so we can scan your driver's license and print you a sticker.
If you have multiple students you will need to fill this form out for each student.
All visitors MUST check in at our office. This means you cannot go directly to field day events.
You must wear a visitors sticker from our office to attend field day.
Only our Perry students PK-4th grade can participate in Perry Field Day -- no other school aged children are permitted to attend field day. Children who are not school age yet may visit as spectators secured by parents, but may not sit, crawl, walk, run, play around our field day games not our playground. All visitors must be spectators only.
Shirt Orders Reminder:
There is only ONE WEEK LEFT to get you and/or your student(s) a field day shirt! Get yours while you can. We have already sold over 220 shirts for the big day. Thank you for being the best parents in the universe!
