On July 21st, the Parlier Unified School District Board of Trustees passed a resolution that pushed back the start of school from August 17th to August 25th (for Cohort A) and August 26th (for Cohort B). For our staff, this affords us more time for professional development, in order to prepare for a robust virtual (online) instructional program. For our students and parents, this provides more time to prepare, also, for the start of school.

The Parlier Unified School District Governing Board is asking for volunteers to sit on the Stakeholder Interview Committee for the new Superintendent. If you are a parent of Parlier Unified School District and are interested in being on this committee, please forward your name and contact information to Ms. Ashley Marroquin at the district office (P | 559.646.2737 or E-mail | ashley.marroquin@parlierunified.org).

On July 17th, California Governor, Gavin Newsom, held a press conference and announced a mandate that affects Parlier Unified School District. There are 58 counties in California and the County of Fresno is one of 35 counties on the COVID-19 Watch List. Therefore, students in Parlier Unified School District must start school utilizing a distance/virtual learning model rather than coming to their classroom on the school campus. This is a directive from the Governor, the State Department of Education, the California Department of Public Health, and the Fresno County Health Department.
