A Note from the Office
Dear Parmenter Families,
Halfway Through the School Year!
It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the halfway point of the school year! As we reflect on the incredible progress our students have made, we also look forward to all the growth and learning still ahead. Thank you for your continued support and partnership—it truly takes a village to make our school the special place it is. Let’s keep the momentum going for a fantastic second half of the year!
Be sure to check out, and share, the fundraiser below for Gavin, one of Parmenter students. "Hats On For Gavin" will take place in school on February 4, World Cancer Day!
Finally, we have a Whole School Meeting on Monday! Be sure to wear Parmenter Gear or school colors!
Be well,
Evan Chelman, Principal

Pitch in for Parmenter
Every school year, the PCC provides school supplies, field trips and enrichment programs for our students. With the school reorganization happening next year, all of the PCCs from the current 5 elementary schools have agreed to continue fundraising this year, so that we may continue to provide school supplies, field trips, and enrichment for the 2025-26 school year too. In order to make this happen, we, as a Joint PCC (all 5 elementary school PCCs), have agreed to raise $50 per student. This $50 will follow each student to their next school when we consolidate accounts at the end of the school year.
To ensure that each of our students get school supplies, field trips, and in-school enrichment programs in the 2025-2026 school year, please consider donating $50 towards our Pitch in for Parmenter campaign.
