Parsons District Schools

Lots of work goes on behind the scenes long before the start of school, preparing for students' return. District office personnel are busy all summer working on everything from budgets to hiring new staff. Coaches train athletes and organize camps. Custodians clean and shine the schools top to bottom, maintenance makes repairs, tech personnel update, replace and repair computers and other equipment. Secretaries and admin work on enrollment and schedules, and teachers and other staff reorganize and redecorate hallways, classrooms, and ready all supplies and materials. These are just a few examples of the tremendous amount of work that goes on during "summer break" so when students arrive for Sneak Peak and Open House, their schools and classrooms are welcoming places for them to come learn.
