As our students recently completed mid year assessments, our staff has dug deep analyzing the data to determine which students are showing proficiency of the grade level AKS and which ones need additional reteaching. During PRIDE Time, which is 9:00am to 9:45am each day, students receive instruction based on their needs. For those students who have shown proficiency of the standards, they receive enrichment and for those who did not show proficiency, they are assigned to reteaching groups based on the standards. At Parsons, it is our goal for ALL students to gain proficiency of the AKS and we are being intentional with our actions to support ALL students. Our EQUITY goal (see above) focuses on the Multi-tiered system of supports. Tier 1 being classroom instruction up to Tier 3 where students receive intense, research based interventions. We are doing great things to serve students and we wanted to share these celebrations with you. To view our mid year data, click on the link below.

As a reminder, Friday, February 3rd is a scheduled Digital Learning Day. The students will not come to school that day. All homeroom teachers will have the assignments posted by 9:00 AM. There will be no live Zoom lessons. Students are required to visit their teacher's eCLASS page and complete the lessons. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher for assistance or visit the links below.

As part of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ family engagement initiative, the school district seeks to empower parents with tools that allow them to help their children at home. Our AKS at Home project provides math and language arts resources to support families of children in grades K-5 so that they truly are partners in their children’s learning. This support is available for families to access in the format that suits them and their schedule best. They can attend live virtual meetings, view recorded information, and gain tools and suggestions on how to best help their children through tip sheets on a wide variety of topics.

In partnership with the Gwinnett County Public Library (GCPL), GCPS provides Tutor.com as an online tutoring resource for students. The expert tutors at Tutor.com can help your student work through a tough homework problem, improve writing skills, study for a test, review a difficult concept, and so much more! Live tutoring support is available daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. In addition, students can receive “drop-off support,” 24-7, by uploading a document for tutor feedback that will be reviewed and returned at a later time.

Save the Date for the following amazing events coming up at Parsons!

March 3: Attention to the Parsons Elementary community! Our Spring Dance is quickly approaching (3/3) and we are in need of volunteers to help in areas including: decorations, concessions, crafts, and clean up! If you are interested in volunteering, please click on the link below!

More details on the dance will be sent out soon!

It's important that we get our slots filled by 2/3 if possible in order to have ample time for planning. It's always amazing to see the turnout and support that pours from our families and community! We are looking forward to another fun event!

March 10: Movie Under the Stars (rescheduled from October due to inclement weather) and International Parade/Food Trucks 5:30-9pm.

As we have done in past years, we will aim to be on the front lawn. However, in case of cold or inclement weather, the event will be relocated to the gym. Along with Movie Night, we will be having our International Parade on the same day prior to the movie! We will have several food truck options (of course, you can still opt to BYOD bring your own dinner) to enjoy before the movie, and we will have a parade of countries to represent the amazing diversity we have at Parsons! If you would like to help with the planning or are interested in being a lead for a particular country, please email parsonsespta@gmail.com. Tickets for Movie Night are available on MemberHub.

If you have any questions about the PTA or volunteer opportunities to help our school community, please email parsonsespta@gmail.com.
