Attention PSD: We are experiencing bus driver shortages for this week and as a result need to cancel a bus route daily. Each day we will post the route that will be cancelled the following day. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this causes our families, but it is an issue every district is dealing with right now. For Monday, December 13th Bus 16-6 route stops are cancelled.

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.
